SuperTron by Solcito Musica: Recreating the Legendary Sounds of the 70s and 80s
Immerse yourself in the nostalgic world of electronic music of the past with SuperTron – a virtual instrument from Solcito Musica, masterfully recreating the atmosphere and sound of synthesizers from the 70s and 80s. This plugin doesn’t just emulate classic timbres, it allows you to create your own dynamic arpeggios, sequences, and analog pads that have become the hallmark of genres like Dance, Trance, and many others. SuperTron is your ticket to creating music with authentic retro charm, but with all the convenience of modern digital technologies.
From pulsating rhythmic patterns to warm, voluminous analog strings – SuperTron offers a wide range of sound possibilities. Its intuitive interface invites experimentation, and its unique features make it a powerful tool for both studio work and live performances. Forget about the complex settings of vintage equipment – SuperTron delivers this classic sound right in your DAW.
The Heart of Sound: Oscillators and Modulation
SuperTron is built on the basis of two powerful oscillators, which are the foundation for forming rich and multifaceted sounds. By combining different waveforms and settings, you can create everything from sharp lead sounds to deep basses and atmospheric pads.
Two flexible envelope generators allow you to precisely control the dynamics of the sound, shaping attacks, decays, sustains, and releases to create both sharp and smooth, unfolding timbres. And a versatile LFO with a sync function and the Mono-Poly option adds modulation possibilities, allowing you to bring the sound to life with vibrato, tremolo, filtering, or panning that moves in time with your project.
Unique Features and Effects
SuperTron stands out among other virtual synthesizers thanks to its innovative features. A 16-step modulator is a true treasure for creating complex rhythmic sequences and arpeggios. But its main advantage is the presence of four “scenes.” Each scene works as an instant sub-preset, allowing you to quickly switch between different patterns or modulator settings during a performance or recording. This opens up endless possibilities for improvisation and dynamic development of your music.
The filters in SuperTron also have their own peculiarities. In addition to standard settings, they are equipped with unique “Pan” (left/right balance) and “Wide” (panoramic frequency distribution) controls. This allows you to experiment with sound placement in stereo space, creating effects of movement, volume, and depth that go beyond ordinary panning.
Of particular note is the “Vintager” effect. It’s not just a standard saturation plugin; it mimics the vintage warmth of analog equipment, allowing you to select a year (from 1960 to 2012) to give the sound the characteristic overtones and saturation of a particular era. This effect adds authenticity and depth to your timbres.
Of course, SuperTron also has a set of standard but high-quality effects for the final touch:
- Reverb: for adding space and volume.
- Chorus/Flanger: for creating wide, moving, and textured sounds.
- Delay and ECHO: for rhythmic repetitions and atmospheric tails.
- Distortion: for adding harmonic saturation and aggression.
Technical Specifications and Compatibility
SuperTron is a VST plugin, ensuring wide compatibility with most modern DAWs on the Windows platform (both 32-bit and 64-bit systems). Its optimized code ensures stable operation and relatively low CPU load, allowing you to use it even in complex projects.
By choosing SuperTron, you get not just a synthesizer, but a multifunctional instrument that opens the door to the world of classic electronic music, while allowing you to create unique, modern arrangements. Its focus on arpeggios, sequences, and vintage timbres makes it an ideal choice for producers of electronic, dance, trance music, and for anyone looking for authentic retro sound.
