Model 77 Dual Layer Synth

Model 77 Dual Layer Synth gives you one of the most influential sounds of our time. It is the iconic sound of Blade Runner, Chariots of Fire, Billie Jean, Africa, and Human Nature — among countless others.

We modeled and accurately articulated every detail of the circuits of three legendarily expressive Japanese synthesizers from 1977 and put them in one user-friendly plug-in. The sound, interaction, and performance remain as close to the hardware as possible, while the complex interfaces of the original instruments are enhanced with an intuitive redesign. Finally, your most-coveted synth has the workflow you deserve.

The Art of Rock & Roll Science

Our reputation for creating tools that enhance workflow and offer superior sound quality is rock solid. Our partnerships with premium brands like Tube-Tech, Solid State Logic, Chandler Limited, Weiss Engineering, and Trident have spanned decades.

We built Model 77 Dual Layer Synth on this legacy of passion, expert modeling, and attention to detail. Because to create synth plug-ins that innovate and elevate, you have to have heart, soul, and Rock & Roll Science.

Time for a redesign

When designing Model 77, we took great care to create a more efficient user interface that makes the plug-in easier to navigate. Two layers are accessible directly from the front panel, but the focus stays on one layer at a time. This improvement enables you to adjust your sound quickly and confidently. We also redesigned the position of the sections to communicate the instrument's proper signal flow. A change that helps facilitate sound design.

Now, the Ring Mod section on the interface corresponds to its location in the signal flow. The balance slider is between the upper and lower layers so that you can self-assuredly move between the layers while adjusting parameters for each layer.

Recall classic sounds

With presets that can be heard on countless incredible recordings, we had to include all the original factory presets for all three synthesizers with Model 77. In addition to the Single Layer Presets, Model 77 features Dual Layer Presets, which allow you to recreate classic sounds through the combination of the upper and lower presets that were so famously used.

Modern features

More than a strict model, Model 77 has added features and workflow enhancements – like stereo processing and DAW sync – that ensure its authenticity integrates seamlessly into modern productions. We provided an Aging Slider for vintage vibes, such as oscillator drift and variations over filter cutoff, pulse width, and envelope time. This addition lets you adjust between a stable modern sound and a more vintage, aged sound. The new stereo algorithmic reverb allows you to reproduce the sound of classic hits. The Reverb Slider controls both dry/wet and the decay time of the reverb to give you an expressive parameter for performance.
