1986 is a vintage synth sound source reminiscent of soundtracks from romantic comedies and teen movies of the mid-1980s. It is created by sampling three real instruments: Sequential Circuits Prophet VS, Roland JX3P, and a vintage Wurlitzer electric piano.
By combining the digital controlled oscillators of Prophet VS and JX3P (a blend of bell, pad, and string tones) with the warm, organic tone of the Wurlitzer electric piano, it corrects the overly perfect intonation typical of digital synths, achieving a more human-like fluctuation. The engine is designed around effect macros, allowing for immediate retrieval of sounds characteristic of the 1980s.
