Halloween Special: $5 Usynth STRANGER & Finisher RETRO
For the price of a pumpkin spiced latte, you can now get the ultimate combo for synthwave and vintage-horror inspired soundtracks. In the spirit of classics from John Carpenter’s The Fog to Stranger Things, the sound of detuned-synth-pads-on-VHS is coming to your studio.
Take our quiz, do you have golden ears?
We pitted a $10,000 + vintage synthesizer against STRANGER & RETRO. We don’t think that anybody needs vintage hardware synths and effects anymore. Or? Show your skill in our listening quiz: Can you hear the difference?
“I’m called a synthesizer guru and I sold all my hardware ten years ago. Like me, you don’t need it. Prove me wrong!”
Peter Gorges, synthesizer legend
Straight from the underworld
Usynth STRANGER puts a sonic toolbox of otherworldly, strange, dark synthesizer textures into your hands. Created by analog synthesizer collector and world-class sound designer Alessandro Cardinale, it draws heavily from his collection of vintage synthesizers.
Instant old school flavors
Vintage. Vibey. Cool. Do you ever play classic records and think “That. Sounds. GREAT! How do I get that 60s (or 70/80/90s) vibe in my track?” With Finisher RETRO, it’s easy. Our experts have done the hard work and captured the classic reverbs, delays, flangers, tubes, tape hiss and magic for you. Just load RETRO and go!
