Kael Alden – Vibe Rewind (KONTAKT)

Going far beyond simple emulation, this Kontakt instrument captures the authentic sound of real analog synthesizers recorded on tape and VHS.

Classic synths the way they were meant to be heard, ON TAPE! Going far beyond mere emulation, this Kontakt instrument captures the authentic sound of real analog synths blasted to real tape and VHS. All with a powerful and intuitive interface, making it quick and easy to settle into a vibe!

Capturing the magic

By painstakingly sampling some of my favorite patches from my favorite synths, through my favorite pedals, and laying it all down on VHS, cassette, and reel-to-reel, this instrument exudes character and warmth like no mere emulation.

It’s pure nostalgia baked right in! With a powerful and intuitive interface that makes it easy to dial in timeless tones from eras past, or tweak away to your heart’s content, exploring endless soundscapes that are wildly new.

The elusive sound of tape

There’s nothing quite like a real analog synth through real hardware FX and crushed to real tape. But often when I want that sound in a typical session it completely kills the flow to go digging for patch cables, cleaning oxide buildup off dusty old tape heads, and troubleshooting a cranky 40-year-old synth that suddenly decides it needs some maintenance. Wouldn’t it be great to have all that character and warmth in a plugin?
