In 1982 something magical happened in the world of synths, a Japanese legend was born. It was one of the synths that defined the sound of the 1980s and was used on countless hits by artists such as The Eurythmics, Cyndi Lauper, and Aha. Now it’s loved more than ever and used on hits by acts like Charlie Puth, Tame Impala, and the Weeknd.

AIR has offered two workflows; the original front panel design, plus an extended, modern UI that gives you even more ways to tweak the sound.

There’s some audio extras under the hood. The VCF includes saturation and drive and there’s also two DCO noise types; modern and vintage. There’s a second envelope, not found on the original, to help you further craft the perfect sound.

In addition to the chorus, there’s a powerful delay, reverb, and EQ circuit.
