video upload by Anton Anru

"🌌 'Dystopian Frames' is a collection of 50 atmospheric and dark cinematic presets for Kilohearts Phase Plant, created for producers who are drawn to mysterious space textures, drifting pads, expressive strings, and deep evolving drones.

The soundset moves between soft, distant atmospheres and darker, unstable tonal landscapes—making it suitable for both musical composition and sound design.

🧿 The bank of presets includes: 12 Pads, 11 Strings, 15 Textures, and 12 Drones.

📦 Get these sounds: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/phas...
👤 The author of the soundset is Ilian.

💎 The soundset is built around depth, space, and tension, with a subtle cosmic character running through the collection.

🎛 Each patch includes 8 Macros that give you direct control over tone, modulation depth and speed, noise level, distortion, detuning, space, and effects balance. They can be automated in your DAW or controlled via a MIDI controller for fast and intuitive sound shaping.

The ModWheel adds brightness and expression.

🌠 The sounds work especially well for ambient, dark ambient, cinematic, experimental, IDM, industrial, and atmospheric electronic music.

It is also suitable for films, games, trailers, and other projects where mood, scale, and tension matter.

RetroSound Studio Tour: Vintage Digital Synthesizers


video upload by RetroSound

"RetroSound Studio Tour:
Legendary Vintage Digital & Hybrid Synthesizers of the 80s and early 90s

In this episode of RetroSound Studio, I explore classic digital synthesizers that revolutionized electronic music production during the 80s and early 90s. From FM synthesis and wavetable synthesis to vector synthesis, PD synthesis, vitual analog and Roland’s LA synthesis, these instruments introduced a new generation of sound design and defined the sonic identity of an era.

The Yamaha DX7 became one of the best-selling synthesizers of all time, defining FM electric pianos and metallic digital textures. The PPG Wave pioneered wavetable synthesis, laying the foundation for modern digital sound engines. The Sequential Prophet VS introduced vector synthesis, allowing dynamic blending between digital waveforms. The Roland D-50 shaped late-80s pop and film scoring with its LA synthesis architecture, while the Roland JD-800 brought hands-on control back to digital synthesis in the 1990s.

These digital synthesizers shaped genres such as synth-pop, new wave, ambient, house, techno, trance, and film music. Today, they remain highly sought after by producers, collectors, and sound designers researching vintage digital synthesizers, 80s keyboard sounds, virtual analog, classic FM synthesis, and wavetable history."

"This is essentially the same engine and same amazing sound quality as the ION synth. But some things were added... Alesis added a killer drum machine, a Sequencer and some new killer effects... all of which the ION did not have.

The sounds are amazing... simply the closest I have found to a real analog synth... Three multiwave oscillators, two killer filters, each of which have Roland Jupiter, Roland TB, Oberheim, Moog and MANY other choices of filters, even some as wild and Comb Filtering!

It all works and sounds great.. cosmetics are good but note the slider tip on one slider is missing .. slider still works great. Also, the main knob is a replacement.. also works great. Just stating for full disclosure."
