What's In The Box?
deCADE (ˈdɛk-eɪd)
A dozen of our favourite 80s synths, all in one instantly recallable instrument
- 127 individually captured vintage synth sounds, offered as 100 fully layered and playable sound sources
- Painstakingly produced from a dozen iconic synths (think the one you always wanted but didn't want the upkeep or enter a bidding frenzy)
- Tracked through a purely analog signal path right up to the point it hits the installer
- Double tracked or up mixed to be tastefully stereo, and everything still collapses to mono if you need it to
- Built on the deFORM framework some of you know and love
THE SOURCES
100 pairs, each a combination of 2 different synthesisers
Explore and uncover hidden gems, not be like us and just run to the one saw in a studio once upon a time.
SOUND SHAPING
Sample based at it's heart, but still plenty of control to help craft your own sound
Radial Pad
The radial pad is where the fun happens. Unison stacks up to 5 independent synth voices per note for a more intense take on the base sound, while Layers brings in an entirely new synth engine to take things somewhere just a little bit more epic.
Filters
Low pass and high pass filters including different models to change the shape, modelling, saturation and resonance.
Variance
Every value and sound drifts and sways just enough that you hate to love it.
Modulation
Shape your amp envelope, then choose how much it and a tempo sync’d LFO move your filter.
EFFECTS
Synths are great, but they are at their best with some effects.
Chorus I & II
Both chorus buttons, modelled after a newly serviced classic. Each giving you width, modulation and that lushness you expect.
Foldback
A tape-modelled stereo delay, carefully bouncing left to right. The tape-like imperfections add subtle pitch modulation for a denser, richer, almost pad-like sound. Boost the feedback if you are feeling on the adventurous side.
Reflect
Takes your sound away from a void of nothingness and gives it some space to breathe. From pure nostalgia to instant cinema.

And a few extras to keep things moving
Voice Limits
If you’re a synth voice purist, you can mimic your favourite synth’s voice limitations or lift them entirely.
Presets
Tagged factory presets and a whole ecosystem for saving and managing your own.
Randomise
For when inspiration hasn’t quite struck yet or you’re feeling a little on the lazier side. A single click can take your sound to all new places. We didn't say you will like where you go, but it will definitely take you somewhere.
