Berlin 1980 is an expansion pack of 65 synth presets for Baby Audio's BA-1, created by Francis Preve. It includes drum hits, plucks, pads, basses and leads.
Berlin 1980 is built for the BA-1 synthesizer. Francis Preve designed the 65 presets to draw on the futuristic sound of German techno from the Cold War era. The set covers the core sound types a producer reaches for first: minimal drum hits, plucks, pads, basses and leads. Each preset is designed to exploit the virtual analog circuits of BA-1, so the pack works as a starting point for retro-leaning electronic tracks.
The pack spans a broad range of sound types. Minimal drum hits give a stripped-back starting point for percussion and rhythm. Plucks and basses cover rhythmic and low-end parts, while pads and leads handle harmony and melodic lines.
Francis Preve, who created the presets, aimed for a retro-futuristic synth character. The developer describes the set as a way to add synth soul to tracks while pushing BA-1's analog-style circuits to their maximum.
Berlin 1980 is an expansion pack, so it requires BA-1 by Baby Audio to run. The 65 presets load directly into the synth, which makes the pack a quick source of sounds for building tracks in the BA-1 workflow.
Because the presets are organized by sound type, you can move from drum hits to basses and leads without building patches from scratch.
