Following the recent 80s TV Drums, SampleScience delivers a collection of synth sounds from the 1980s with the new VHS Waves virtual instrument for Windows and Mac.

VHS Waves could be the name of a new genre, but it’s the name of a new plugin! Imagine having control of the sound typically heard on old dusty VHS, composing your own 80s soundtrack from a time long gone but never totally forgotten.

VHS Waves gives you that sound in an easy to use plugin for Windows and Mac. 30 synth sounds were created with hardware from that time period and recorded on old VHS tapes. The result is the authentic degraded sound of decaying tapes, ready to be used in your future synthwave, vaporwave, and chillwave productions.
