Excite Audio Retro Pop Bundle

Inject authentic analogue warmth into your music with the Excite Audio Retro Pop Bundle. Featuring iconic vintage synths, punchy retro drums, and classic console processing.

Timeless Synthesis

Capture the warmth and character of classic hardware with Bloom Synth Analogue, an instrument built from chords, leads, basses, arps and phrases sampled from vintage synthesizers and shaped for modern production.

Combining the woozy drift of real analogue oscillators with saturated, characterful circuitry, Bloom Synth Analogue brings your productions to life with sounds full of warmth and imperfection.

Inside, you'll find an extensive collection of lush chords, driving arps, rounded basses, cutting leads and evolving phrases sampled from iconic hardware synths, all in key and in time with your project to get your tracks moving.

The result is a flexible palette for building parts that feel warm, tactile and full of movement, ideal for pop, synth-pop, leftfield electronic, and more experimental production. Inspired by the psychedelic synths of MGMT, the robot-funk of Daft Punk, and the synthwave textures of The Weeknd, as well as the bright synth hooks behind modern pop from Sabrina Carpenter, Bloom Synth Analogue brings timeless soul and nostalgia to every track.

Sound Sources

Excite Audio directly recorded the signature sound directly from analogue drum synthesisers that soundtracked the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s. Then, in order to emulate the iconic tones of ‘sample-based’ grooveboxes, they recorded and processed live drums using analogue hardware units and digital mixing techniques, similar to the techniques used in the creation of these drum machines. Some of the sound sources include:

• Vintage analog drum machines known for their warm and punchy sounds
• Early digital rhythm units that defined the beats across decades.
• Unique percussive tones from rare electronic keyboards and devices
• Modern drum synthesisers offering cutting-edge electronic percussion
• Textured loops and one-shots crafted through sound design techniques

Instant Analogue Character

Lifeline Console brings recordings to life with the warmth and charm of analogue audio processing.

While Lifeline Expanse simulates the space and characteristics of real recording environments and re-amping methods, Lifeline Console focuses on mixing in a control room, offering you the sound of sought-after hardware and analogue formats all within your DAW. 

Each of the plugin’s five modules brings a particular vintage flavour to your signal chain:

• Pre-amp warms and enhances the signal with colourful saturation via a customisable frequency response.
• EQ offers characterful spectral shaping with a choice of analogue circuitry.
• Compressor makes quick work of dynamics duties and contains an innovative Auto Makeup control.
• Modulation imparts the movement and life of warped records and tape speed variations.
• Wear adds the charm and imperfections of old-school playback, introducing the noise, artefacts and unpredictable nature of tape, vinyl and cassette.

Whether you’re adding gentle sheen and signal enhancement, degrading a sound into a nostalgic, lo-fi production, or anything in between, there’s a module combination for whatever you need.
