Airwaves, a new preset pack for GForce Software’s OB-X emulation that I had the pleasure of putting together, is now available. Inspired by the nostalgic soundscapes of 90s and 2000s electronic music, it draws from artists like Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin, Tycho, The Flashbulb, and Casino Versus Japan. The pack features tape-disintegrated pads, smooth analog leads, and distant basses.
Leveraging the OB-X’s advanced modulation capabilities, with independent LFOs and envelopes for nearly every parameter, I was able to recreate tape effects and subtle degradation. The 2-pole filter and PWM modulation helped achieve warm, textured tones perfect for modern productions.
Airwaves contains 50 presets and is available from the official GForce Software store for £14.99.
