SampleScience has announced a 24-hour flash sale on its Thales Model I virtual instrument, a plugin that recreates the sound of early software synthesizers of the sixties.
You heard it right, all the way through the sixties Bell’s laboratories developed software synthesizers that were capable of producing an early form of sound synthesis: raw analog saw, unstable organ-like tones, almost clean sine waves, and abstract soundscapes of white noise.
Thales Model I features the tones generated by the early sixties computers. The sounds have been sourced in public domain films, which means that they are not clean: tape noises and background hisses are part of the sound of this very special rompler. Because of this, Thales Model I’s sound is reminiscent of the Mellotron and other tape-based keyboards of the sixties.
Available in VST/VST3 and AU plugin formats for Windows and Mac, Thales Model I is on sale for only $6 USD with discount code BELL at the checkout.
