Tronto Trilogy: Analog-Style Kontakt Synth Instrument by Tronsonic

TRONTO uses seven waveforms plus pink and white noise drawn from 1972 synthesizer oscillators. The waveforms were recorded through valve pre-amps to vintage tape, which gives them a warm, saturated character.

DCO takes a different approach. Its seven phase-aligned waveforms were recorded without tape, which keeps tuning and waveform shape precise. Tronsonic describes the two approaches as contrasting: the tape-colored TRONTO and the more scientific, precise DCO.

The instrument set also includes a saturation button that applies tape or tube character through a custom impulse response, along with a convolution reverb with 36 spring reverb variations.

Each instrument provides six LFOs, two per section covering oscillator, filter and amplifier. Two global LFOs and an AHD envelope can modulate each of the six LFOs, which allows layered movement in a single patch.

Knobs and sliders can be assigned to external controllers, so hardware controllers can handle parameter control. The DCO instrument can link with TRONTO in multi-mode for dual oscillators and shared control.

The instruments come with 200 presets for TRONTO and over 100 for DCO, many of which have a modular-style sound.

Tronto Trilogy suits producers who want vintage analog textures inside Kontakt. The bundle covers both warm, tape-colored sounds and cleaner, more precise synthesis, so it can serve as a main synth or as a layer for sound design.

The developer describes the interface as intuitive to learn and operate, and it is offered in three interface colors.
