EastWest Iconic Synth Collection

This EastWest Iconic Synth Collection Features 138GB of samples from six different classic synthesizers. With a user interface designed around an XY pad with four Macro effects with multiple parameters that can be simultaneously adjusted. Blending a vintage knob-per-function design, adjustments are quick and easy, as all controls are accessible from a single page, so you don't have to flip through pages to tweak your settings. An advanced 16-step arpeggiator, multimode portamento (glide), and a bevy of effects allow you to widen, pulse, distort, delay, and spatialize the final sound.

Supporting VST 2, VST 3, AU, and AAX plug-in protocols, so it works with most standard DAWs. The software requires Opus 1.5.4 to run on Windows 10 or macOS 10.15 and later.

EastWest LO-FI Audio Effect Plug-In

Go beyond the traditional bounds of hip-hop and EDM with LO-FI from EastWest. This plug-in is a distorted, gritty, mangled, producer toolkit that enables creatively reshaping your sound through pitch shifting, distortion, and degradation. Use it on any input sound, from synths to orchestral textures, to craft hip-hop beats, soundtracks, or electronic music. This plug-in supports most DAWs that support VST2, VST3, AU, and AAX plug-in formats on Windows and Mac systems.

Bass

Drive the foundation of any modern production with the uncompromising presence of these low-end powerhouses. From menacing, distorted bass synths to gritty, speaker-rattling subs, these sounds are crafted for maximum impact.

Drums and Percussion

Creatively processed drum kits transformed into new sonic territories by meticulously distorting and mangling each element with unique character. Energize your tracks with crunchy 808s, fractured snares, and glitched-out percussion.

Guitars

Heavily processed guitars venture into new territory that go beyond the traditional, all the while maintaining their plucked string character. Offers distorted electric riffs, bitcrushed strums, and degraded chord layers, for a rebellious edge in any mix.

Keys and Synths

Cutting-edge sound design brings these synths, keys, and pianos into the modern realm, many of which feature stacked harmonies on a single note for instant inspiration. Includes detuned analog synths, degraded electric pianos, and glitchy harmonic stacks that deliver instant inspiration.

Leads

Bold and distinctive, these edgy, distorted leads will cut through any mix. Many feature rhythmic LFO modulation or arpeggiation to create dynamic motion. Get searing distorted bass lines, pulsating leads, and aggressive, overdriven synths.

Orchestral

Bridge the boundaries of classic orchestration and modern production with these fresh cross-genre instruments, many of which feature stacked sounds transposed across the keyboard to create vinyl-like samples. Expect fractured strings, degraded brass, and haunting woodwind textures that deliver cinematic depths with a dark twist.

Textues

Evocative atmospheres that add depth and character to any production, breathing life into music with a range of textural ambiences, from degraded noise washes, to warped environmental tones.

Vocals

A futuristic lens takes these vocal instruments to reimagined heights, warping and processing them to create entirely new sonic possibilities. Get glitchy vocal chops, pitch-shifted harmonies, and haunting vocal pads that add an uncanny edge to your tracks.

EastWest Forbidden Planet Hybrid Synth Plug-In (Download)

Journey to the outer reaches of the sonic universe with EastWest Forbidden Planet, a hybrid-synth plug-in that offers a vast collection of cinematic and heavy-hitting synths with futuristic sounds, perfect for soundtracks, EDM, hip hop, and more. Forbidden Planet features a premier collection of sampled analog synthesizers (both modern and vintage), acoustic instruments from rock, orchestral, choir, to world-music genres, plus other sound-design elements. Freely morph between electronic- and acoustic-instrument layers, or choose from 650 curated instruments that are playable out of the box—including Bass, Drones, FX, Leads, Pads, and Poly Synths.

Featuring an impressive suite of postprocessing and mixing tools, advanced filter modulation, dual arpeggiator, and an extensive rack of effects, all powered by the critically acclaimed OPUS engine. Forbidden Planet gives you a deep level of sound-manipulation possibilities for unprecedented sonic-shaping power with presets that you can customize.

Hybrid Synth Armageddon

Crossfade between sound sources and filter settings with the central XY pad to capture morphing hybrid sounds in moments. By moving the Orbital Control, you can dynamically capture broad but smooth shifts in both timbre and frequency content. Moving left and right changes the blend amount between two contrasting sources—from analog, acoustic, synthetic, and large-scale cinematic sounds. The vertical position controls filter frequency and is perfect for creating sweeping gestures however you see fit.

Advanced Filter Modulation

The XY Pad isn't the only way to control the filter. Simply pull up the filter section of the UI and you can pop open the hood, controlling the modulation depth. The Mod Envelope allows you to add an ADSR-style envelope onto the filter cutoff, automating its movement with each note, while the Step LFO section produces a gated rhythm as the sequencer modulates the filter cutoff frequency. This leaves you free to play with the XY Pad, creating progressive textures and drones to set the tone of the atmosphere you want to build.

Dual Arpeggiator

The dual-arpeggiator structure allows for any rhythmic combinations you like across both layers. You can create polyrhythms, sync rhythms together, or even choose one layer to sustain while the other sets a rhythmic foundation. Create staccato and legato patterns with portamento and glide as you like. Not only does this make it easy to create highly dynamic and choppy ostinatos, but each of the two sound sources gets its own sequencer with the option to desynchronize their speeds. The two are adjacent to each other in the UI, giving you unprecedented automation capabilities without digging through multiple different submenus. Copy settings between both and you can produce slight variations that support more depth, creativity, and shimmer than you'll find anywhere else.

Bass Sounds

Forbidden Planet's basses are layered with FX pedal tones, contrasting crossfades, and gritty overtones, perfect for tackling the most ambitious soundtracks.

Drone Sounds

Forbidden Planet's mechanical, organic, and environmental drones can be used to create any atmosphere you choose. This is where the XY Pad shines, producing original and morphing ambiences in real time, so you can set the stage however you choose.

FX Sounds

Forbidden Planet offers a collection of effects that defy classification, obtained from voices, acoustic instruments and a variety of synthesized sources—ideal for adding tension, noise, and chilling one-shots to accent your soundscape.

Lead Sounds

Forbidden Planet gives you a tool for creating organic, adaptive leads that pop in the mix. Spend less time designing leads and arrive at the perfect lead instantly.

Pad Sounds

Use the XP pad to shape warm, ambient, or gritty pads, and effortlessly morph between cinematic textures to create a solid backing of chords or build a dramatic soundscape.

Poly Synth Sounds

This collection of presets doesn't fit neatly into any one category—it's perfect for experimentation and bridging different styles. These are your go-to presets when you want to be surprised while still having fine control over the overall sound.

EastWest String Machine Virtual Instrument Plug-In (Download)

Add a slice of vintage flavor to your productions with the EastWest String Machine, a virtual instrument plug-in that's inspired by vintage string machines such as the Arp Solina, Oberheim OBX, Roland RS-505, and Roland Jupiter 6. String Machine also features the classic ensemble chorus found on most vintage string synthesizers. The included ensemble chorus features three modes, each with distinctive characteristics.

The user interface is designed to emulate a classic string machine, adorned with tons of switches and sliders. The instrument is broken into four color-coded sections including string machines and pads (red), section strings (green), solo woodwinds and brass (teal), and choirs and soloist (orange). The software utilizes a dedicated Opus playback engine, which provides a searchable browser and the ability for users to customize their sounds. It is compatible with Mac and Windows. It runs as standalone software or operates in AU, VS2, VST3, or AAX formats.

Back to the Retro Future

Paying homage to the great vintage string synthesizers of the '60s, '70s, and '80s, EastWest's String Machine virtual instrument brings the past into the future. Produced by sound titans Doug Rogers and Nick Phoenix, String Machine includes samples from some of the greats—Arp Solina, Oberheim OBX, Roland RS-505, and Roland Jupiter 6—and allows you to instantly combine them with modern strings, brass, woodwinds, and vocals to create unique vintage vibes perfect for your next pop, rock, or hip-hop masterpiece.

Inspired User Interface

String Machine's user interface takes inspiration from the design of vintage string machine synthesizers. From the chunky instrument switches adorned along the front panel, to the glide of envelope sliders, and the click of push buttons, String Machine's form and function is informed by the original hardware units.

Ensemble Chorus Effect

String Machines were well known for their ensemble chorus effects, and the one included in String Machine features 3 modes, each with distinct characteristics. With effect emulations modeled from the Arp Solina, and Roland VP-330 hardware units, along with a Modern mode, our Ensemble Chorus effect delivers everything from vintage warmth and thickness, to modern transparency and dimension.

Flexible Application

String Machine's use is flexible, owing to its hybrid design of electronic and acoustic instruments. It fits right at home in a variety of genres, electronic or otherwise, but especially suitable for genres heavy on retro nostalgia, like chillwave or pop. Any piece of music that needs a large ensemble string pad would benefit by using String Machine.

Instrument Groups

String Machine features 4 color-coded instrument sections, including string machines and pads (red), string sections (green), solo woodwinds and brass (teal), and choirs and solo vocals (orange). Each instrument section features a number of instruments and alternatives, giving you countless ways to combine them into a diverse range of timbres, and the ease of mixing the individual instrument sections together to create rich multilayered pads.

Presets

String Machine comes with 17 presets programmed by Nick Phoenix. These presets demonstrate the type of sounds possible with String Machine, but you are encouraged to use String Machine as it was intended—for creating your own presets.

Opus is the advanced player engine that powers the String Machine library. Fast and flexible, it comes with incredible features such as individual instrument auditioning and downloads, customized key switches, dozens of new MIDI tools and mixer effects, scalable retina GUI upgrades for legacy products, a powerful script language, and many more options that allow you to completely customize the sound of each instrument.
