Synth City Black Friday deal: 51% off this 100-preset Chromaphone 3 sound bank from Applied Acoustics Systems, which comes to $19 until Nov 18, 2026.
Synth City is a Synth Presets collection that pairs the 1980s vibe with the modern engine of Chromaphone 3. Applied Acoustics Systems resident sound designer Adam Pietruszko built it around retro-futurism.
It is a bank of 100 presets for Chromaphone 3. The maker says it covers synthwave and retrowave, plus futuresynth, darksynth, outrun, retro-electro, nu disco and synth-pop.
The maker describes the aesthetic as the music of VHS B movies. It aims at synthesizer melodies of the kind you hear in science fiction, cyberpunk, horror and action film soundtracks.
The hooks range from cheesy to dark, according to the maker, so you can build your own alternative 1980s timeline.
Adam Pietruszko is a sound designer and audio engineer from Poland. He specialises in cinematic and avant-garde sound design.
His range also covers electronica, experimental music, techno, IDM, Synthwave and EDM. He teaches at the Academy of Audio Engineering and the Polish-Japanese Academy of Information Technology in Warsaw, lecturing on sound synthesis, acoustics, electroacoustics, digital audio theory, and electronic music and FX production.
