Softube Model 72 Synthesizer System

The Model 72 Synthesizer System by Softube is a system based on a classic analogue monophonic synth from the early ’70s. The emphasis of this product is on sound quality. It’s a component-modelled marvel that captures the era with actual use cases and tricks correctly replicated in the software. It includes a model of the original instrument, an FX version, an Amp Room module, and seven Modular modules.

This synthesizer is like a vintage synth time machine, modelled down to the smallest details from a 1972 hardware unit in pristine condition, with all the quirks and non-linearities intact. It offers incredibly authentic sound, with all the warmth and smoothness heard in countless records.

Designed by experts and built on a legacy of professional gear modelling, the Model 72 Synthesizer System stands out for its sound quality. It’s created with the same meticulous and accurate component modelling process you’ve come to expect from Softube’s mixing and mastering plug-ins, resulting in a product that truly replicates the original hardware.

The Model 72 is not just a vintage synth; it’s a revolutionary monophonic synth. It produces sounds that can be warm, lush, and luxurious or fat, distorted, and gnarly. The software components of Model 72 were measured and matched down to the smallest details from the original hardware, keeping all of its quirks and non-linearities intact.

But Softube didn’t stop at recreating the past; they’ve also updated this legendary synth with modern features. An expansion panel allows you to tweak finer details of the oscillator behavior, and performance aspects of the synth. The doubling feature adds the effect of having the notes that are played doubled by another Model 72, and the spread feature sets how much this doubling will spread out in the stereo field.
