Buy NASTRO VHS, get a free gift with purchase:
Important note: This product requires a FULL version of Native Instruments' KONTAKT 6.5.2. The free Kontakt Player is not sufficient.
NASTRO is a powerful time machine, your ticket to the realm of lo-fi devices from reel to reel tape recorders, cassette players, walkmans up to Super8, VHS & Betamax recorders.
After Soundscapes, here comes the second release of the series: NASTRO VHS!
You won’t need any DeLorean to travel back to the 80s and its quirky sound and visuals: shaky, glitchy, wobbling, full of beautiful imperfections and fluctuations, and with abundance of static noise.
NASTRO VHS contains lots of playable synthtones, loops and textures created with some of the best analog synths out there and re-processed through real VHS recorders to add dirt, static noise and detuning effects.
It requires Kontakt Full Version 6.6.1+ (not compatible with the Free Kontakt Player).
You don’t need NASTRO Soundscapes in order to use NASTRO VHS but all NASTRO instruments are designed to beautifully blend together and help you create analog beauty in a fun and easy way.
