The collection
Retrowave Horizons bundles three SonalSystem libraries covering the '80s synthwave and electroclash spectrum — from nostalgic tape-recorded melodics to modern electroclash production kits. Beta Retrowave Melodics Vol. 1 — 57 loops organized by Type, Key, and Tempo. Bass, Arps, Leads, Pads, and SFX recorded direct to VHS and 4-track tape. 375+ MB. Beta Retrowave Melodics Vol. 2 — 48 loops organized by Type, Key, and Tempo. Same sonic territory as Vol. 1, distinct kit content. 375+ MB. Horizons Modern Classic Wave — 65+ loops organized across 11 kits covering the full arrangement range: Drums, Bass, Arps, Leads, Pads, Drones, and SFX. Electroclash, tech-pop, and new wave influences. 415+ MB. Together the three libraries cover construction kit production — where you need harmonically matched loop sets to build a complete arrangement — and broader electroclash and new wave loop material for more flexible use. 170+ loops total. ~1.2 GB. 24-bit WAV. Component libraries also available individually.
