The last engine, FM, is for classic digital synth sounds such as bells, electric pianos and sharp bass sounds. Table, abbreviated from wavetable, can generate a wide range of sounds from natural, acoustic instrument sounds to synthy, evolving textures, pads and sound effects. Quickly blend its timbre into your project by adjusting the Oscillator Mix slider in the Oscillator section. There's a cool bass sound using this engine in Retro Synth's Synth Bass presets called 'Synced Metal Bass'. Sync is for more aggressive synth sounds, especially leads and basses. The Mix slider adjusts the blend between Oscillators 1 and 2. Create a new software instrument and try the Retro Synth preset in the Synth Pads folder called 'Berlin Xperience' to get an idea of what it's capable of. We'll then look at each of them more closely.Īnalog is for classic warm synth sounds, leads, brass, strings, pads and basses. Here's a quick tour of the four synth engines, which are accessed in the Oscillator section, from left to right. Be sure to hold a note down for at least five seconds to hear the sound's full trajectory. This patch layers three software instruments using Retro Synth, each one enhanced with MIDI plug-ins. To immediately experience Retro Synth's sonic potential, try the 'Space Insects' patch found in the Library under Synthesizer / Soundscape. The combined architecture is capable of creating retro, funky, futuristic and evolving sounds.
Retro Synth's streamlined interface, with tabs for its four synth engines - Analog, Sync, Table and FM - in the top-left. To simplify the learning curve, each of these synth engines uses the same modular, visual representation of their signal flow. You can almost think of Retro Synth as four synths in one. Each one opens to a view of an independent instrument with a distinctive colour scheme. The four tabs in the Oscillator area, top left, represent the four classic synth engines available. Here's a pointer for getting comfortable quickly with the Retro Synth interface. In this workshop, we'll examine a few library patches and instrument presets that show off its architecture, and tweak a few knobs that should inspire your own killer synth sounds. The classic hardware synth engines of the '80s and '90s have been combined in a clean and simple virtual design, with the introduction of Retro Synth in Logic Pro X. Create killer sounds with Logic Pro X's Retro Synth.
