Teenage Dreamscape
This poppity throwback was built using mostly sounds from Arturia’s Analog Lab V (VST), with a few helpers thrown in from MuLab’s built-in synths.
Snappy the Turtle
Made with IK Multimedia Syntronic, Audio Damage Tattoo Percussion Synthesizer, KV331 Audio Synthmaster Player, a smattering of samples and assundry MuLab presets.
Cybertronic Starlust
A hard-pumping pop track built from auto-accompaniment sequences from a vintage Korg i3 Workstation sandwiched into a collection of modern VSTs.
Retro Split
This song grew out of a test run of a newly released free VST called RetroGrit Lite by Audiolatry, accompanied by the Yamaha YPT-320 with a little smattering of a Mulab synth sandwiched in.
Voyager 66
A decidedly 80’s anthemic synth-rock blaster with a catchy melody and uplifting spirit.
Elkasampler E-19
An up-tempo tune made from samples recorded from the Elka E-19 organ, with a little modern interlude sandwiched in.
Pyroplastic Heartbeat
A driving beat provided by the Yamaha MM6 auto accompaniment, with a stack of studio synths on the melodies along with a smattering of VSTs thrown in.
Jolly Jig of the Organ Grinder
Auto-accompaniment on a Yamaha YPT-320 with a stack of synths providing a perky melody.
The Eurotech Aztek Choir at Olympus
Pumping auto-accompanied supplied by the Yamaha MM6 with a synth brass chorus melody and chill vibraphone verses.
Monster Drums Mashup
This tune is the culmination of a playtime session with the free Monster Drums VST plugin. After exploring the free kits available (18 at the time of publishing), we settled on Agung’s Futura Kit, which inspired a funky bass line. The rest of the tune was built up around that.
