RITM III: Rebirth of Soviet Synthesis
In the world of virtual instruments, true gems are emerging that carry the spirit of past eras. RITM III by Samsara Cycle Audio is one such plugin. It’s not just another synthesizer; it’s a virtual recreation of a classic Soviet analog instrument, opening the door to a unique soundscape.
There’s a special magic in vintage equipment, and Soviet synthesizers are no exception. Often created under the conditions of a specific engineering school and component availability, they have a unique character that is difficult to replicate with modern means. RITM III aims to revive this very character, offering musicians and producers the opportunity to touch the history of sound.
Forget about sterile digital sounds. RITM III offers a warm, live, and unpredictable sound, characteristic of vintage analog. Each parameter, each oscillator, each filter has been meticulously modeled to most accurately convey the features of the original equipment. It’s a sound you might have heard in recordings of experimental electronica, underground rock, or even vintage soundtracks.
