![]() ![]() It was amazing for creating pads, strings, drones, and brass sounds. The oscillators, along with voice layering capabilities and natural detuning, contributed to the synth’s overall full and rich sound. What made the CS-80 unique was its quality oscillators square, sawtooth, and white noise. It changed the way musicians approach the use of a synthesizer. IK Multimedia’s V-80 is modeled after the Yamaha CS-80, an 8 voice polyphonic synth, widely regarded as Japan’s most successful synthesizer. Sound Content: The OXa synth contains 6500 samples/126 instruments. I love the bass sounds, especially with a passed through reverb, just a touch, and the Opto Compressor. You could hear both Oberheims all over Prince and Madonna’s songs. Both polysynths were loved for their rich, fat analog sounds, especially brasses and fat leads. The OXa is based on the Oberheim OB-X and OB-Xa (1979 – 1981). ![]() Sound Content: 2,000+ samples/78 instrument presets It’s easily one of my favorite Syntronik Synths. Its affordability made it a great alternative to the Roland Jupiter-8. The J-60 synth mimics the classic Roland Juno-60. J-60: This Is a Nice Juno Synth Emulation Sound Content: 79 Instruments/10,000+ Sounds Roland’s JX series also had a great sounding mid range quality, making them good for programming brass instruments, deep dark pads, and FM textures. ![]() There are two oscillators per voice to help achieve the classic analog sound, the famous chorus from the Juno 60, as well as that signature warmth Roland is known for. ![]() It’s a combination of some of my favorite Roland JX models/features blended into one synth. Sound Content: 100 Instruments/Over 1,000 samplesĪs a huge Roland fan, listening to Syntronik’s DCO-X brought a tear to my eye. I find myself using it a lot paired with the White 2A compressor to really color and bring out the bass in a current fashion. The Targus was known for its great sounding low end, distinct sounding Sawtooth Wave, and sweeping low pass filter. The emulation is based on the Moog Targus series (I, II, and III), an organ pedal-styled synth whose first iteration became popular in the 70s. The Syntronik Bully was one of the first synthesizers I tried out of the bundle. Sound Content: 200 instrument presets/15,000+ Samples Despite sharing this glassy sound character, the DW-8000 was the most analog-sounding synth in its class at the time due to its signature-sounding low pass filter. The DX7 has a glassy tone to it, which you’ve certainly heard a lot in 80s movies like Beverly Hills Cops. The synth had a unique knobless design and was said to be the answer to the DX7, Yamaha’s FM synth. K’s KW-8000 is an emulation of the DW-8000 by Korg. Sound Content: 122 instruments presets/7,000 samples The Cato also contained two sub-oscillators, which contributed to the unit’s big bottom low end. It was compact and rich sounding but still edgy. This was the go-to alternative synth for those who wanted but couldn’t afford the Mini Moog and the ARP Odyssey.Ĭato was a mix of both. Sound Content: 115 Instrument presets/20,000+ Samples Cato: Moog Knock Off Synth?Ĭato is IK’s take on the Octave Cat, a two oscillator mono/dualphonic synthesizer. The M-12 emulates the famous Oberheim Matrix 12, capturing its many filter modes, look, mod matrix, and, most importantly, its iconic sound. It was quick, rich sounding, and had extremely great resonant filters in addition to nice thick sounding characteristics. It was widely recognized as the best synth during the middle of the 1980s. The Matrix 12 was one of the most sought-after synthesizers out of the Oberheim line. Let’s dive into some of my favorite synths units from Syntronik 2. Here, Brian is giving a walkthrough of Syntronik 2, how to install it, and demonstrating some of the cool sounds within. ![]()
