Mando's Stream of Consciousness

Only used two synths on this track, Sub37 and JupiterX. I have 2 loops from the JupiterX that are the same but panned left and right with different filter modulation. This gives the track a really cool stereo effect when wearing headphones, well at least I like it... The Sub37 is mono on bass and arp sequence with lots of knob turning. Rhythm is a bit cheesy and a preprogrammed (Funk) beat from the RC505. No computers or multitracking used in the recording. Enjoy the free download!

Buffer Overflow

Only used two synths on this track, Sub37 and JupiterX-61. Although I bounced a couple of tracks on the RC505, no computers or multitracking was used in the recording. Enjoy the free download!

I created this UB-Xa mix consisting of 8 short song demos so you can hear how the synth sounds. I recorded up to 5 synth loops on the RC-505 for each song. No effects other than a little reverb from the DigiTech Polara, typically just 1 loop has reverb. No computers, DAW, or mastering was used, just playing loops live from the RC-505 and recording directly on to a single track on the Zoom H1. Direct downloads are enabled for this mix. Please subscribe if you download. Enjoy! ~Retro Synths

Chill Trance Rave Synth 2025

Retro Synths is a hardware only electronic music composer producing synthwave, retrowave, chillsynth and dreamsynth gems. I use mostly analog gear and no computers or multitracking in production. All tracks and vocals are live recordings. Computers kill the creative vibe for me when making music. Sure my tracks would have less mistakes and I often wish got the levels better or could add some EQ but for now... no computers. I use an RC505 looper and record everything onto a single track with an old Zoom H1 that has no ability to multitrack or edit after the fact. There is no post production or mastering on any of my tracks, what you hear is coming directly from analog hardware. The only exceptions on analog gear include my JupiterX-61, Nord Lead 2X, MicroKorg, and occasional rhythm tracks built into the RC505, everything else is pure analog with some occasional digital effects. All vocals are from my extremely talented children and completely improvised on the spot, nothing is written down. We're just jamming!

Many of Retro Synths tracks are available for free download, enjoy! 

Sincerely, 
Retro Synths
