Product reviews
Finally getting around to rating this, I love the whole bunch. Was perfect for synth wave competition. Every time I step into a new pack it revitalizes my circuit and love for the tracks. I particularly like the 5th and 13th ones.
Synth Foundations 2 by Techtronix
Synth Foundations 2 by Techtronix is your all-access pass to the golden era of synthwave, carefully modelled to bring that nostalgic VHS flair to the Novation Circuit Tracks.
Whether you’re scoring a retro-style video game or diving into ambient outrun, this pack is dripping in texture and authenticity.
Crafted from the ground up, all patches and samples are synthesized – no sampling from vintage records here. FM synthesis via Vital and Operator recreates the essence of classic drum machines, while warm lead and pad sounds draw inspiration from the Roland Juno 60, Yamaha CS80, Oberheim OB-X, and the unmistakable Moog family. Special attention was given to detuning, tape-style volume dips, chorus layers, and oscillator drift to make each sound feel alive and analog.
You’ll find:
- 32 Bass patches including Moog-inspired subs and TB-303 acid lines
- 32 Leads with tape wobble, hiss, and lush textures
- 16 Dreamy, moving pads with wide stereo imaging
- 8 Chord stabs that double as expressive leads or polyphonic textures
- 8 Acoustic instrument emulations (rhodes, kalimba, brass)
- 32 Monster sounds – aggressive reese basses, warped FX, and cinematic textures
Samples include:
- 8 Linndrum-style kicks
- 8 Linndrum snares
- 16 Chord stabs
- 13 cymbals and hats
- 3 toms synthesized in Vital
- 8 vocal samples
- 8 plucks from the Minifreak
All sounds have been tailored with modern punch but vintage soul – ready to drop into any synthwave or vaporwave production.
Whether you’re just starting out or a seasoned retro-synth head, Synth Foundations 2 delivers both versatility and inspiration.
