75 vintage Synthwave presets, compatible with the Clavia Nord Lead 2, 2X, and racks. This soundbank is 100% Synthwave and 80s-oriented, which means no weird pianos, FX, or Trance sounds. This soundset is designed to fully exploit the Nord Lead 2X's virtual analog engine, leveraging its raw FM synthesis and signature filter design to deliver the punchy, cutting sounds that defined the 80s.

Patches in Vice are based on sounds from songs by the likes of The Midnight, Michael Jackson, Europe, Van Halen, Cannons, Devo, Kraftwerk, Duran Duran, Bon Jovi, NiElsir, Vangelis, Lazerhawk, Bananarama, The Pointer Sisters, Earth, Wind & Fire, and many many more!

And to cap off the bank some patches were set to INIT, so you have room to write and store your own patches without overwriting any existing sounds!

Only 3rd party FX used on these sounds was Virus TI2 reverb and delay.

Sounds in this preset pack are suitable for the Synthwave, Italodisco, New Wave, and 80s genres, and are organized by category into Leads, Plucks, Pads, and Basses, for quick reference

Studio Tip: Stack presets in multitimbral mode to achieve even bigger sounds
