Expect a unique blend of analogue power, drift, and swagger that's a welcome departure from today's 808 drones. F9 Electric Funk Synths The 80s were the era of knobs-studded keyboards and minimalist FM interfaces, but what stood out was the distinct, scorching sound of an 80s polysynth - a sonic signature that remains etched in public memory. Our collection perfectly captures the essence of major synth groups - Jupiters, Prophets, Junos, and OBX's, all vying to elevate your chords, lines, and improvisations to an unprecedented level of future-retro. With the flawless performance of the MPC's Keygroup engine, these synths will cut through your mix like a hot knife through butter.

These keys add chordal warmth to the analog underscore, lifting your beat while providing layering possibilities. F9 Electric Funk Plucks A nod to the golden age of sequencers, we've created 15 pluck patches, capturing the percussive FM, analog and early digital devices in constant motion, bringing the studio time-keeper experience to your fingertips.

The library was developed by Matia Simovich (INHALT & Jupiter Rising) to exude thecharacteristic and moody sound that only an OB analog synth can provide. Everything from Prince-like stabs, long pad bursts, and punchy unison basses have been expertly sampled to provide an organic playing experience within the MPC workflow. The emphasis with this library is capturing the distinct and uniquely analog character of this classic polysynth while also making a diverse set of patches that are all production ready and encompass every sound needed to take your song to the finish line. Also included is a comprehensive classic drum kit, and, when combined with the synth patches, gives birth to the OB SYSTEM.
