80 Demo - Arcade - By Firoze And Kaizad Patel - Lib Only by Sonokinetic published on 2022-07-26T08:37:27Z https://www.sonokinetic.net/products/instruments/80 Orchestra VS Oscillators It’s hard to believe that the 1980s are now more than a generation in the rearview mirror, yet those bright neons and inspiring synths are ever-present in our cultural landscape. From Wonder Woman to Stranger Things, the 80s never really went away… although we’re glad the hairstyles did! Growing up in that era, the team at Sonokinetic have always held the work of television and film composers of the 1980s in high regard. Movie soundtracks from legends John Carpenter, Jerry Goldsmith and Alan Silvestri went on to inspire lesser known TV musicians such as Mike Post (Magnum PI / The A-Team) and Stu Phillips (Knight Rider). Technological advances in music-making energized these genius composers to experiment by combining synth sounds and orchestral instruments. The results scored our childhood, with memorable themes ringing out from cathode rays and sticky-floored cinemas around the world. From Total Recall to Tron, vintage sounds are an important piece of soundtrack history, with as much relevance today as in our misspent youth. With this firmly in mind, we present “80”, a full orchestral neo-80s toolkit… For those already acquainted with our other orchestral phrase libraries, 80 will be both familiar and shockingly different. From the retro digital interface to the electronic performances, we’ve landed squarely in this decadent decade. Embracing the vintage tech of the era, orchestral phrases are doubled with FM synth lines, recorded on location in our concert hall for effortless blending. Strings, woodwinds, brass and synths collide in an effervescent eruption, sure to hit the right nostalgic notes Of course, all the features you know and love are present, including major and minor phrases playable in any root key, a suite of randomization options, 4 mic positions and comprehensive playback controls. Our new “Retrofier” faders make it easy to introduce analog synth flavor to many performances. Producing 80 was an experience that rekindled our love of vintage synths and we hope that when you hear it, you’ll feel the same way. We, at Sonokinetic BV, are very proud to introduce 80 to you and can’t wait to hear the amazing things you, our valued customer base, will produce with it. Sonokinetic has established a name as one of the best value & quality sample producers and with this product we’d like to underline that statement.
