The 80s Synthwave Black Friday deal puts 30% off this Ueberschall sample pack, so it costs $44.80 until Nov 29, 2026. It's an Elastik library of 10 construction kits built around 1980s synth sounds.
The maker puts the size at nearly 3.5GB, with around 700 loops. Each kit is ready to arrange and make your own.
The sound is pitched at the John Carpenter and Kavinsky end of things. Kavinsky contributed to the soundtrack for Drive in 2011. The maker says the library keeps the authentic 80s sound but delivers it with the production sensibility of the synthwave and retrowave movement.
The instrumentation covers electronic drums, big bass synths and several synth parts. Those parts include arpeggiated lines, lead melodies, chords and pads, plus various sound effects.
The sound sources are classic synth hardware, with both digital and analog synths used. The instruments include the Prophet 5, OB-X, DX-7 and other FM synths.
Drum sounds are inspired by the Linndrum, Oberheim DMX, Simmons SDS and the classic 909. Gated reverb was used as an effect.
The split drum loops make it easy to build your own drum mix or strip a section back for a breakdown.
The library is an Elastik soundbank for Mac and Windows. It runs in the included Elastik Player as AU, VST or AAX, or as a standalone app, so no separate sampler is needed.
Elastik's browser structure and extra descriptors like key and tempo suit loop-based libraries. The central Loopeye surface keeps attention on the loop and allows sample editing.
The élastique pro algorithm from zplane.development handles real-time sync-to-host. The maker says that means excellent audio quality at low CPU usage.
The maker pitches the library at producers chasing a synth-based club hit and at media composers who want the sound of 1980s synth music with a modern twist.
