'Totally Retro' contains 70 presets for Native Instruments Massive-X, providing producers of 80s-influenced music with a nostalgia-inducing selection of analog flavors to choose from. These timeless sounds also fit neatly into several other genres as well. Each patch has Macro Controls and the Modwheel assigned for more playability and expression.

Insta-buy, always like your stuff and I'm never going to complain about a synthwave pack for my favorite synth.

Thanks a lot for the compliment :). Massive-X is a beast, for sure, and has a much warmer overall character compared to the original Massive. While there are things I miss from the original, several welcome additions and changes help compensate for that.

Next Release: '8-bit Nostalgia' for Reveal-Sound Spire.

100+ patches inspired by retro gaming systems such as the Commodore 64, Nintendo, ZX Spectrum, etc. Creative use of Spire's "Stepper" parameters provides much more than just sequencing, such as 8bit "wavetables", lo-fi envelopes/LFOs and other neat tricks. In addition to authentic Chiptune presets, this bank also includes layered sounds (think 2 Commodore64 chips playing together) for fatter and more complex textures than the original hardware could produce.

EDIT: 8-bit Nostalgia has been released, and is available here:

I want to clear something up about the YouTube channels. I've sadly lost access to the old channel years ago, which is why it hasn't been active :(. Truth is, I'm still around and posting new releases regularly, typically a new one each month. HERE is the current channel, where subscribers can keep updated on new releases:

Going forward, I will be focusing on the more popular synths again, namely Serum, Omnisphere, Pigments and other Arturia products, Xils products, etc. I have a bank for Elka-X that's pretty much finished, then next up is a Serum soundset called "Cyberpunk 2086" - retro-influenced, but fresh, using modern sound design techniques, and with a dark, dystopian mood throughout. Also going forward, I'd really like to focus more on exploration and truly unique sounds. The sound design capabilities of today's synths are far beyond what was possible with 1980's hardware!

Hope you'll get to another Massive X library again at some point. But definitely looking forward to the Arturia and Omnisphere libraries.
