Retcon – Boards Of Canada Synthesis

Retcon – Boards Of Canada Synthesis is a virtual instrument for ambient textures, lo-fi melodies and evolving cinematic arrangements. Bringing together the BOCS libraries with additional content, it offers a dual-voice architecture with 84 patches that you can blend and shape independently or together. Build hazy pads, expressive leads, keys and plucks, then add movement through filters, LFOs and envelopes. Its custom 16-step chord sequencer supports progressions up to four bars long, with per-step volume, pitch and chord controls for slow harmonic shifts or intricate rhythmic patterns. A colour-coded hexagonal interface organises sound design across six pages, while 130 snapshot presets provide starting points for exploration. Integration with Maschine and Komplete Kontrol adds mapped controls and preset browsing. Retcon suits producers and composers who want atmospheric, heavily modulated sounds with hands-on control over their development.
