AudioKit Pro launched VHS Synth, a virtual instrument for iOS devices. It’s made up of vintage and modern synths (Prophet 6, Moog Concertmate, Novation Bass Station, KORG Volca FM, etc) recorded to VHS tape with an old VCR. The sound is crunchy 80’s lo-fi owing to the effects of tape and custom processing.
The combination delivers warmth, noise, and inconsistencies we’ve come to recognize as vibe. The instrument is ideal for synthwave, hip-hop, indie, rock, ambient, soundtrack, lo-fi, and other styles. It also features VCR sound effects (Buttons, Tape Hiss, More) and a VCR FX section to further tweak the sounds.
VHS Synth is available as a standalone app and iOS AUv3 plugin. It ships with 250+ presets to get you started. The price is currently USD 3.99, down from USD 9.99. The purchase includes a free Expansion Pack with the sounds of the OP-1 recorded through a VCR and re-sampled.
