03In depth

Sound styles covered by the BA-1 preset packs

The collection includes Neon Black, a dark retro synth score pack made with film composer The Unfinished / Matt Bowdler. It is aimed at eerie, 1980s horror-style sounds with a modern twist, in the spirit of John Carpenter soundtracks.

City Pop Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 were developed with Ryuichiro Yamaki. Vol. 1 focuses on the sleek, colorful sound of 1980s Japanese synths, while Vol. 2 explores the origins of J-Pop and Kawaii with bright, bubbly patches.

Electro Elixir, created by Bastiaan Barth / Solidtrax, draws on the roots of synth pop and electro, with a sound that sits between Kraftwerk-style influences and a more modern approach.

Who the BA-1 presets suit

Neon Black suits horror-inspired and cinematic scoring. City Pop Vol. 1 fits projects that need a retro Tokyo-style sound, while City Pop Vol. 2 is aimed at pop production, with patches that the developer describes as ready to use without extra processing.

Electro Elixir is suited to synth pop and electro work where a classic, synth-focused character is needed. Together the packs cover a wide range of styles for a producer working in BA-1.
