Synth City Sound Pack for Chromaphone

This preset collection can be used with the free AAS Player plug-in as well as the Chromaphone acoustic object synthesizer.

Dive into Synthwave!

Resident sound designer Adam Pietruszko embraces retro-futurism with Synth City—a collection of 100 presets amalgamating the nostalgia of the 1980s' vibe with Chromaphone's modern twist. Plunge into synthwave and retrowave territory and speed through futuresynth, darksynth, outrun, retro-electro, nu disco, and synth-pop with this lavish sound pack. Capturing the aesthetic of VHS B movie music, Synth City excels at synthesizer melodies straight out of science fiction, cyberpunk, horror, and action film soundtracks. While Synth City will inspire a host of hooks that lay tribute to the 80s, it will also let you craft your own alternate synth timeline.
