01Overview

Dystopian World is an expansion pack for Vacuum Pro, the synthesizer from AIR Music Technology. It contains more than 50 patches built around the crunchy, warm character associated with analog synths. The developer describes the sounds as ranging from clean and warm to deliberately dirty, which gives producers a wide tonal spread within one pack. Touch Loops created the content, and AIR and Touch Loops formed a partnership to release it. You must already own Vacuum Pro to use it.

Sound Character and Tonal Range

The patches aim to recreate the warm, analog-era sound that inspired the pack. Touch Loops names Stranger Things, Depeche Mode, Vangelis's Blade Runner score, Boards of Canada and The Matrix soundtrack as reference points. Sounds run from warm and pristine to gritty and dirty, so the pack covers both smooth pads and rougher textures.

Because all patches are for Vacuum Pro, they load directly into the synth and can be edited like any other preset. This makes the pack a starting point for further sound design rather than a fixed library.
