Product reviews
I just wanted a few extra styles to expand the Circuit Tracks. This pack has loads to offer and over delivers, very pleased.
Strong contender for best pack on the circuit.
I couldn't ask much more of this pack, from excellent synth patches to great drum sounds, big fan of the first pack. so this was a no brainer. I'm probably not the only person to say this but, but those drums are excellent
Strong contender for best pack on the circuit. hard to believe these drums were synthesized
Finally some legit synthwave drums
Another great pack from isotonik and techtronix. The drums are easily my favourite part of this pack. I've struggled to find a reliable drum kit for synthwave music for a long time. I'm glad to say I've finally found what I've been looking for. The patches are prenominal and the bass compliments the drums pretty all the time.
The synthesized Lindrumms are awesome.
