Baby Audio has announced the release of a collection of expansion packs for its BA-1 software synthesizer, are-imagination of Yamaha’s cultish 1982 CS-01 synth.
Today we’re launching 4 new Expansion Packs for BA-1. They give you style-specific presets for our first ever synth, created by industry leading sound designers.
From the sleek sounds of City Pop to the raw origins of electro, these virtual cartridges will take BA-1 – and your tracks – to new sonic territory. Each pack includes 64 meticulously crafted presets for BA-1.
- Neon Black by The Unfinished / Matt Bowdler: A dark ‘retro synth score’ expansion pack reminiscent of John Carpenter soundtracks, haunted mansions and eerie VFX. If you need some 1980s horror movie magic in your productions – with a modern twist – this is your gateway.
- City Pop Vol. 1 by Ryuichiro Yamaki: Sleek, colorful and stylish, City Pop Vol. 1 will transport your tracks back to the dreamy metropolis that was Tokyo in the 1980s.
- City Pop Vol. 2 by Ryuichiro Yamaki: Explore the origins of JPOP and Kawaii, with bright and bubbly sounds with no further processing needed. No matter your style of music, these patches will cut through the mix and pop right out of your speakers.
- Electro Elixir by Bastiaan Barth / Solidtrax: This expansion uses BA-1 as a vessel for exploring the roots of synth pop and electro. With one foot in a Kraftwerk universe, and the other in the future, Electro Elixir brings you pure synthesizer joy.
The sound packs are on sale for the intro price of $10 USD, or in a bundle of all 4 for $29 USD for a limited time (regular $19 USD and $49 USD, respectively).
