BEST SERVICE / SYNTH-WERK

""SYNTH-WERK"" is a synthesizer sound source created with great respect for Kraftwerk, the legendary group that has been a part of the history of electronic music since its inception.

■Software Synthesizer Sound Source
This approximately 7.6GB library contains over 1,300 instruments, including floating pads, crystal-clear sounds so clear they're almost unstable, vocoded voices, choirs, bass, drums, FX, and more! Utilizing cutting-edge digital equipment and technology, the vast array of synth sounds that make up Kraftwerk's sound world have been modeled. Additionally, we've included a collection of sounds from actual equipment used in Kraftwerk's works, including rare instruments like the ""Orchestron,"" ""Stylophone,"" and ""Bee Gees Rhythm Machine,"" as well as German, English, French, and Spanish voice samples from Texas Instruments' ""Language Translator.""

Each instrument features meticulously recorded, clear samples, with randomized playback position and pitch to recreate the ""analog synth""-like fluctuations. Additionally, you can create unique retro-futuristic sounds using a variety of built-in effects, including volume control using an LFO, filter opening and closing using a step modulator or velocity, and bit reduction with settings ranging from 24 bits to 2 bits. Furthermore, you can further enhance your sounds by utilizing the more than 40 effects available in the ENGINE 2 sample player. Each instrument also features an arpeggiator and step sequencer with optimized settings, making it incredibly easy to create truly ""Kraftwerk""-esque phrases!

SYNTH-WERK's cheesy, spacey sounds, full of respect and affection for Kraftwerk, will provide a fresh stimulus in an era when rich sound creation is the norm!
