This release comes packed with a number of exciting new synths for you to play with. We have a new hard-hitting kick drum :gabberkick for that gabber sound and a new vintage electric piano :rhodey synth. There are also 16 new percussive synths inspired by the infamous TR-808 drum synthesiser. All the synths come with many opts for you to play with to manipulate and change the default timbres.
