The patch uses Diva’s Dual VCO panel with Osc 1 set to noise at just under 50% volume and Osc 2 set to a saw wave with maximum volume. This patch is similar to a noisy pluck sound I’ve been using in some recent tracks of mine, such as Iris. Check out the demo below, followed by Forhill’s writeup on all the individual layers that make up the track. Another key plugin used is Soundtoys Echoboy, a versatile delay effect that specialises in emulating vintage analog delay effects with a dark, saturated sound. All of the synth tracks in the demo are created with u-he Diva, a powerful analog-style hybrid synth that allows you to mix-and-match modules from different classic synthesizers.

He generously created a short demo for this article, as well as a deep look into how he creates his sounds, from putting together responsive synth patches, shaping them with EQ and using layers of delay to create interesting, wide sounds. The following is a guest article written by Forhill, a multi-instrumentalist producer based out of Boston, MA.

A great place to check out these artists is the Electronic Gems Youtube channel, which curates new tracks, and also features some great retro artwork. Lo-fi retrowave combines elements of synthwave, ambient, downtempo and chill wave, but most importantly, they all capture a nostalgic mood. Lo-fi retrowave is a subgenre of synthwave music that includes artists such as HOME, Voyage, Forhill, Hotel Pools, 憂鬱, Unfound, A.L.I.S.O.N and Emil Rottmayer.
