The Crow Hill Company has introduced a new Vaults series instrument library, bringing sounds reminiscent of the hypnotic scores of the mid-1980s.
1986 was created with the Sequential Circuits Prophet VS, a Roland JX3P and a vintage Wurlitzer electric piano.
As part of our VAULTS range (instruments we release for free for the first 6 months of their lifespan, and then for a small charitable donation thereafter), we have lovingly sampled these three synths and housed them in an engine that provides instant 1980’s gratification via a series of purpose-built effects macros.
The main controller dial will take our purely digital samples into the organic realm by dialling in the electric piano (equipped with a sweeping phaser to gel it with the synths). We’ll leave the rest of the encoders for you to discover, including some granular action that is firmly from this decade.
Available for free for a limited time, 1986 runs in a free dedicated app for Windows and Mac (VST/VST3, AU and AAX).
