Sound Sources and Character

Vengeance Sound says the sounds were sampled from the original vintage hardware synths in Manuel Schleis's collection rather than from software emulations. That approach is meant to keep the tone of the 1980s Italo-disco records the pack draws on.

The pack includes 225 multi-samples, which give the presets keyboard-mapped source material to work from. Presets can be edited in Avenger, so the sounds can be shaped further once loaded.

Rhythm, Arps and Loop Material

Italo Disco 2 includes 24 drum kits and 24 drum sequences for building retro disco grooves. A set of 72 arp patterns covers sequenced basslines and melodic movement typical of the genre.

The expansion also adds 17 multi-loops of guitar material, which can be used as rhythmic or textural layers alongside the synth presets. Osc-shapes and wavetables extend the oscillator palette for users who want to build their own sounds from the included material.
