RETRO WAVE GOODY



Teeel Presents Retro Wave - PC/Mac - Wav/ AppleLoops/LivePack 9.5+/Refill 5+/ZIP (main): £24.95/One Shots & Sampler Patches/Drum & Perc Loops: £10.95/Bass Loops/Synth Loops: £7.95


THIS is a nice number for all you fans out there wanting to create ye good olde 'synth-exciting' days of the 1980s.

Loopmasters say: 'Brainchild of Synth Records principal Jim Smith, TEEEL takes you on a journey into the future's past. His acclaimed debut Amulet (2011) was a Chillwave sensation, and follow-ups University Heights and Hydrostatic provided more genre-blending adventures in modern-vintage synth music. Jim has remixed many of his contemporaries and recently produced music for ESPN, Nike, and the film The Gift.

'Retro Waves calls on TEEELs arsenal of Synthesizers, Controllers, Guitars and Effects –Yamaha DX7, Yamaha DX7 II·FD, Roland HS-60, Yamaha CS1x, Moog Sub Phatty, Moog Little Phatty, and more! A selection of Beat Machines are also featured including LinnDrum, Sequential Circuits Drumtraks, Simmons, and Roland Analog Drum Machines.'

I used this blurb to give the more techno-heads among you the lowdown on the gear used so you'll have a great insight of just what makes up the sounds in this top library.

You get three folders - bass, drums and synths - and it's hats off to whoever came up wit the names for these sounds.

For instance (just a few from the shedloads you get) :

  • Bass - Staircase, Gremlin, Hawk, Drone
  • Drums - Valley Beat, Disk Beat and...er... Heart Beat
  • Loops -  Wonky, Hallway, Stabbing.

I like the way time and trouble has been invested in this pack and the sounds are ace indeed.

They all come key and tempo labelled and range from 80bpm right up to 160bpm so you have scope to slot the sounds into many a genre and the variety of keys help too when you are looking for accompanying sounds from your other libraries.

If you simply cannot get enough of the retrosynth sound then grab this beauty.
