Retro Machines Mk2 is a collection of 16 analog synthesizers and keyboards, sampled and enhanced for the world’s leading sampler Kontakt.
The collection covers the classic, unique and exotic instruments that defined electronic pop music in the 70s and 80s. Today, the originals are hard to find, expensive and often finicky. So if you’d rather make music than worry about tweaking settings, here’s your vintage ticket. Retro Machines Mk2 gives you thick, rich analog sound without the hassle and with all the benefits of cutting-edge software.
The interface provides consistent control over all functions, no matter which vintage monster you’re currently tweaking. Each preset reproduces the signature sound of the original instruments with eight built-in sound variations. Each variation is a ready-to-play synth sound, a specific combination of OSC protocol, filters, amps and other settings. Your settings are saved with each variation, and you can use the Morph slider to switch between variations for dynamic sounds.
The arpeggiator in Retro Machines Mk2 is a modern interpretation of the arpeggiators in the original machines. Choose between 16- or 12-step triplet mode and set the velocity at which each individual step plays. What’s more, you can assign different sounds to each step in a pattern – great for dynamic, expressive arpeggios.
Chord Player creates chords from individual notes, which is especially handy when combined with the arpeggiator. In Fixed Chord mode, set intervals and play chords by moving one finger up and down the keyboard. Turn Fixed Chord off, select a key template, and the chords you hear will automatically match the selected key, creating perfect, elegant harmony.
