Sound Palette of the 80s Preset Pack

Resonance-style pop textures are the core of this expansion. Vengeance Sound says the 142 Avenger presets recreate synthesizer sounds from the 1980s and are designed for modern EDM, synthwave and retro pop.

The pack covers the sound types most associated with the decade: wide pads, plucked arpeggios, synth brass and bright leads. The presets are a starting point for both programmed and live-played parts, and the included wavetables and multisamples let you rework these sounds further inside Avenger.

Drumkits and Sound Sources for Retro Production

Alongside the presets, Retrowave 80s adds 15 drumkits and sequences that the developer describes as re-crafted to sound like 80s drum machines. This makes the pack useful for building a full retro arrangement, not only the melodic layers.

The expansion also adds 4 granular samples, 40 multisamples, 22 oscillator shapes and 7 wavetables. These source materials let you design new patches from the same sonic vocabulary as the presets.
