Tracktion Retromod Series Synth
Plug-Ins
Tracktion Corporation has introduced the Retromod Series
collection of synth plug-ins.
The plug-ins are designed to capture the sound and
style of the original hardware, but with modern technology
added to offer performance upgrades, resulting in authentic
recreations as well as a compendium of sounds that were
unachievable from the source hardware.
The Retromod Series includes five collections. The LOFREQ-C collection includes samples from 11 famous synthesizers from 1974 to 1995,
namely the Oberheim SEM, Yamaha CS-30, Arp Odyssey, Korg MS-20, Realistic MG-1, Novation Bass Station R, Doepfer MS-404, and the Roland SH-2,
TB-303, SH-101, and CMU-810. The LOFREQ-M collection contains samples from eleven synthesizers from 1995 to the present. These are the Eowave
Magma, DSI Evolver, DSTEC Original Syn, MFB Synth II, Vermona Mono Lancet, Arturia MiniBrute, Dreadbox Hades, Behringer Model D, IK Multimedia
UNO, and the Waldorf Pulse and Pulse 2. They join the LEAD collection, featuring samples from six Clavia instruments, the 106 collection based on
three classic Juno instruments, and the FAT collection featuring most of the landmark Moog synthesizers.
