Retrowave 2 marks a significant advancement in synthwave sound design, evolving from a popular Kontakt library into a comprehensive VST/AU plugin. It seamlessly blends the rich textures of sampled instruments with the flexibility of modern synthesis, offering musicians a powerful tool to capture the essence of 1980s music. This plugin delivers a wide range of authentic sounds inspired by iconic synths, providing a solid foundation for retro-inspired productions.

Drawing on legendary synthesizers such as the Ensoniq Mirage, Yamaha DX7, Jupiter 8, Juno 106, and D-50, Retrowave 2 features 129 unique presets, each representing a distinct sampled instrument. This extensive collection offers a diverse palette of classic 80s tones, from lush pads to vibrant leads and punchy basses. The careful sampling process ensures that each preset retains the characteristic warmth and character of these vintage instruments, making it easy to evoke nostalgic moods and atmospheres.

Beyond its impressive sound library, Retrowave 2 includes modern features that enhance sound shaping and customization. Users benefit from two oscillators, with one providing standard waveforms and the other a bass sine wave with saturation, allowing for dynamic and rich textures. The plugin also offers flexible LFO and AHDSR envelopes for detailed control over sound dynamics, alongside a built-in EQ and effects rack featuring phaser and delay. These tools enable producers to craft distinctive 80s-inspired tracks with ease, making Retrowave 2 a comprehensive synthwave production solution.
