Description: Bathed in the dazzling flicker of neon lights, the 80s swept past and brought with them perhaps the most radical cultural and musical shift in history. With electronic drums, computers and technology at the forefront, this decade has changed the face of music production. With razor-sharp synths, throbbing basses and machine beats, he set in motion a wave so long-lasting that it swells to this day. In fact, isnβt the 80s now bigger than ever, musically and aesthetically?
Based on approximately 440 individually designed source sounds, this EZX offers you 20 kits, each offering one unique and mix-ready sound. The kits were built around typical drum machines of the era, but mixed, matched and layered to offer new and unique options without compromising the slightest bit of authenticity. To be frank, every instrument in this collection screams that typically dark, gritty, and futuristic dystopian synthwave vibe right from the start. In addition to the sounds, each set also has a corresponding base set of MIDI grooves, allowing you to hit the ground running on your next idea.
Putting it all together, you get a modern take on the massive palette of beat ingredients that made the 80s an indelible exclamation point in music history. Mechanical magic is in your hands.
