Retrowave 2 – Classic 80s Sound, Modern Power

Retrowave 2 is the next step in the evolution of one of the most popular synthwave instruments. What was once a KONTAKT library is now a standalone VST/AU plugin, combining the depth of multi-sampled instruments with the flexibility of modern synthesis.

To achieve authentic 80s character, we recorded and sampled legendary hardware synthesizers including the Ensoniq Mirage, Yamaha DX7, Jupiter 8, Juno 106, and Roland D-50. The result is a collection of 129 unique presets, each built from its own sampled instrument, delivering a broad palette of instantly recognizable retro tones.

New features bring Retrowave 2 beyond a sample library:

• Two oscillators – standard waveforms plus a saturated bass sine for added low-end power.
• LFO and AHDSR envelopes – detailed shaping of dynamics and modulation.
• Built-in EQ and FX rack – including phaser, delay, and more, for instant sound design without external plugins.

Retrowave 2 unites the best of both worlds: the immediacy of a rompler packed with authentic synthwave sounds and the creative potential of a modern synthesizer. Everything you need to craft the perfect 80s-inspired track is here—in one instrument.
