Retropolis

Retropolis is a Kontakt instrument that brings together the character of five classic analog and digital synths: the Red Sound Dark Star, Roland Alpha Juno 2, Kawai SX240, ARP Odyssey, and Moog MG-1. Its straightforward interface puts all sampled tones under one roof, with a menu system for quick browsing. A full effects section lets you shape the sound further, while the built-in arpeggiator can also modulate filter cutoff for rhythmic movement. With over 200 snapshots organized into folders like Bass, Strings/Pads, and Synths, you can quickly find the right starting point for your track. Whether you’re producing synthwave, ambient, electronic, or pop, Retropolis offers a versatile palette of vintage-inspired sounds. It’s aimed at hobby producers and anyone who wants the flavor of legendary synths without the hassle of hardware. Requires the full version of Kontakt 5.8.1 or higher.
