Grid Racer by MusicTech Mag

Grid Racer from ModeAudio taps into the continuing rise of '80s retro-inspired synth music with this cool collection of video-gamey, neon-tinged loops, tail samples, drum hits and MIDI files based on 15 construction kits.

From the cascading arps and sweeping synth leads to the resonant bass riffs, the characterful synth sounds are absolutely spot on, with plenty of analogue unison and subtle movement to make them sound big and appropriately sci-fi.

Verdict

Packed with well-crafted, song-starting synth riffs to add a retro edge to your tracks.
