OBSO

OBSO is an inspiring catalog of sounds coaxed directly from various forms of obsolete media and extant technology. We celebrate the undulating inconsistencies of bygone days, lovingly filtered through the oxide and worn machinery of VCRs, cassette decks and other consumer products from the '80s and '90s.Our dreamlike but intuitive interface is intended to spark instant emotion.

Specifically designed to sound good no matter where the knobs are set, the five visceral control circles nevertheless offer a huge depth of range within a single patch. Nostalgic synths, creamy pads, lush basses, shimmering bells, burnished brass, scintillating strings, and more glow with the patina of fine age. Individual sounds sink into a mix like they always existed, but you'll find they can easily stand alone without the need for layering or manipulation outside of the instrument. From film and game scoring to lush pop records, these tactile soundscapes add a dose of warm nostalgia to nearly any production.

NKS-ready for Native Instruments hardware integration.

Compatible with Kontakt Player and Kontakt 7.10.5 and greater.
