Dream Stereo
Beach House Synth Presets
Dream Stereo is a dreampop-fueled preset pack for Arturia Pigments and Analog Lab, inspired by the lush, atmospheric soundscapes of Beach House. This collection offers 80 carefully recreated presets inspired by iconic tracks across Beach House’s extensive back catalogue, spanning from early albums to Once Twice Melody and Become. With an emphasis on the warm, lo-fi textures of organs, string machines, and airy synth leads, Dream Stereo captures the lush, dreampop sound of Beach House, bringing it into your own music.
Dreamy Tones & Textures
The presets in Dream Stereo capture the soft yet expansive sounds that define Beach House’s music, offering lush organ tones, vibrant string machines, and mellow synths layered with tape-like effects and chorus. These patches are ideal for producers aiming to craft lo-fi, reverb-soaked soundscapes, and expansive textures that evoke Beach House’s dreamlike aesthetic.
Each preset is designed with four custom macro controls, allowing you to effortlessly adjust key elements to match your project’s vibe. Alongside the organs and strings, the pack includes shimmering arpeggios, evolving pads, and analog-inspired keys, bringing the sound of iconic Beach House tracks into your productions. Dream Stereo enhances any dreampop or shoegaze project with its timeless warmth and layered depth.
Pigments vs. Analog Lab
Arturia Pigments was the perfect choice for recreating Beach House’s sonic palette, given its powerful synthesis engine and deep effects section. With Pigments’ additive synthesis capabilities, each organ sound has been crafted with rich harmonics and full-bodied warmth. Additionally, its robust chorus and unison effects enable the recreation of the string machine textures that feature prominently in Beach House’s music.
For those without Pigments, the Analog Lab version of Dream Stereo offers the same sounds, controlled through macro adjustments. Compatible with Analog Lab Pro as well as the free version, Analog Lab Play, these presets provide accessible entry points to Beach House’s unique sound for any user.
