These presets were inspired by the sound of vintage electronic organs and string machines like Farfisa, Eminent, Elka, etc., and created so as to get a sound something like to sound of Mellotron tapes.
The samples on which these presets are based are full of noises, squeaks, cracklings, howls, overload and immersion in the atmosphere of the sound of analog synthesizers and early digital-analog hybrids with low resolution DACs.
You can easily use this pack with the SynthScaper LE app by downloading it and then use scenes and presets from this pack or creating new sound scenes by combining existing presets.
>>> SynthScaper LE (lightweight, AUv3)
Or you can use the samples from this pack to create your own completely new presets or modify existing presets in the advanced version of SynthScaper.
>>> SynthScaper (advanced version)
The presets and samples in this pack are free to use without any restrictions.

Hi Igor, what is the best way to use new Scenes pack file in both the Synthscapers? Thanks a lot
ReplyDeleteFor use these presets you need unpack / import this file in both versions. Then you can delete this file if you do not plan to use it again. All samples, scenes and presets will be stored in the SynthScaper / LE working folders.
DeleteThanks a lot Igor, I will do it
ReplyDeleteThese sound amazing! After watching the video, it looks like a lot of work went into making them! Interesting use of analog tape and digital recording. Looking forward to your other hardware synth samples. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I plan some others experiments with recording samples mixed from sounds of different instruments and processing it with maximum reverberation to get deep, monotonic sounds like a drones.
