ASIMOV FOR Decent Sampler

 



A collection of retro/synthwave sounds inspired by modern sci-fi classics.

The story

Inspired by soundtracks of modern sci-fi classics, this collection of synths evokes the nostalgic feel of 80’s sci-fi movies with a modern cinematic sound.

I had been wanting to make my own instruments for some time, but I can’t afford a Kontakt licence so when I found Decent Sampler was a thing. I began learning how to make presets for it, and this is the result. A collection of 15 Synthwave/Retrowave presets with a cinematic touch.

I designed the sounds in Vital and Surge XT and layer them, then process them through different effects.

Each preset has control for Reverb, Delay, Chorus (Which honestly for me sounds more like tape detuning) and Cutoff.

I hope you enjoy it.

***As I am a Cakewalk user, I tried to mix in Cakewalk using Cakewalk Sonar's ProChannel and open the same project in Cakewalk to compare. My first impressions are that Cakewalk Sonar is much better optimized and the difference in processing is quite evident.
