Soviet Synths Sampled

Soviet Synths may soon be infiltrating synth sound libraries around the world.

SoundEngine.com has announced the availability of the AKAI version of hard-to-find Vintage Soviet Synthesizer samples: Soviet Synths.

Description: The AKAI Soviet Synths Sample CD-ROM represents a collection of sounds that have crossed no-man's land from the former Soviet Union. Chock full of analog synthesizer samples - fat bass lines, warm pads, aggressive razor leads, smooth classic waveforms, space FX, sounds of noises and machines, percussion, original real time phrases and much more...Thanks to unique architecture and powerful resonant filters, Soviet-made synthesizers have inimitable color in their sound; you get a lot of cool stuff for creating killer patches!

"Okay, okay, okay already - we've received hundreds of after hours phone calls in which we hear nothing but the uncontrollably weepy, blubbery sounds of our Soviet Synths WAV customers begging for a mapped, AKAI version. OKAY ALREADY!!" says, Scott C. Peer, President, SoundEngine.com.

This CD disk contains AKAI mapped multisamples, and many variant program files (no EQ, FX, compression etc.) Infinity was used to create seamless looped samples on the AKAI. Some sets contain repeated notes, but with various filter cutoff parameters. Long individual samples with realtime opened and closed filters, LFO, cross-modulation and others types of sounds are also available. The disk contains the sounds of such famous Soviet synthesizers as the Aelita, Polivoks, Altair-231, Faemi-1M, Alisa-1387, Maestro, Ritm-2 and others. The sounds of some drum machines, such as Lell PSR, Rockton, Elsita, are also included.

"Soviet Synths" is available now at SoundEngine.com and has an MSRP of only $99.99. Owners of the WAV CDROM that would like to upgrade to the AKAI version get a credit of $19.99 - if they are a licensed user of the WAV version.
