Retropolis is a Kontakt instrument by Loot Audio built from samples of classic analog and vintage synthesizers, with a full effects section, an arpeggiator and over 200 snapshots. It requires the full version of Kontakt 5.8.1 or later.
Retropolis is a sample-based instrument for Kontakt from Loot Audio. Its sounds are drawn from a set of vintage synthesizers, including the Red Sound Dark Star, Alpha Juno2, Kawai SX240, Arp Odyssey and Moog MG-1. The instrument is built around a simple interface, with samples accessed through a menu system. Its full effects section and built-in arpeggiator give producers room to shape the sound and build rhythmic patterns from it.
Retropolis draws on a group of well-known synthesizers from different eras of electronic music. The developer names the Red Sound Dark Star, Alpha Juno2, Kawai SX240, Arp Odyssey and Moog MG-1 as the sources used in building the instrument.
Because the library is based on samples of these instruments, it suits producers looking for a retro synth palette inside Kontakt rather than a modeled or newly designed engine.
Samples are placed under a straightforward interface and are reached through a menu system, which keeps navigation simple inside Kontakt.
The instrument includes a full effects section for processing the sound. An arpeggiator is also included, and it can be used to modulate the filter cutoff, which adds movement to sustained or sequenced parts.
Retropolis comes with over 200 snapshots, organized into folders such as Bass, Strings/pads and Synths, so you can find a starting point by category.
Formats, systems and requirements as listed by Plugin Boutique. Missing details are left out, not guessed.
