I know it’s not easy to drop $100 on a virtual instrument, especially when we have so many excellent free sounds these days.
But, if you’re going to spend good money on a virtual instrument, it should be on something as good as Repro.
Repro is one of my favourite soft synths, and one that I return to time and time again.
First of all, very few developers are as meticulous in every single process as u-he, so you know the sound quality is fantastic.
Secondly, you want value for money, and between Repro 1 and Repro 5, you can do just about everything.
Repro 1 gives you the love-it-or-hate-it character of the monophonic Pro-One synth. Although the Pro-One isn’t as beloved as the Prophet 5, you’d struggle to find something much better when it comes to in-your-face basslines and leads.
The Pro-One and Repro 1 are capable of showing a softer side, but it’s the aggressive side that makes it what it is, whether it’s punchy, thumping basslines or gritty, screaming leads.
Repro 1 includes a built-in arpeggiator and a 32-step sequencer (64 steps when chained). It also features ample modulation (three sources – five destinations) and onboard effects, including the excellent stomp-box-style wavefolder, Jaws.
Repro 5 offers something that’s about as close as you’ll get to a Prophet 5 without spending a small fortune.
While the famous hardware is a 5-voice polyphonic synth, Repro 5 offers 8-voice polyphony and up to 8-voice unison.
It features two multi-wave oscillators, four types of polyphonic distortion, and additional built-in FX.
Repro 5 is a luxury synth and a workhorse in one; it has incredible leads, pads, basses, and the ever-popular poly-brass sound, which you can hear all over funk and pop music from the late 1970s till now.
While Repro 1 and Repro 5 have dedicated interfaces, they share the same efficient layout. Everything is well presented, and you have a few tabs to reach deeper into the available options.
Another thing both synths share is the Tweaks page; it takes you under the hood of each synth, where you can adjust the fundamental behaviour of individual modules.
Each synth is deep enough to avoid becoming predictable, but if you want record-ready sounds immediately, Repro 1 has 500 factory presets, and Repro 5 has almost 1000.
Don’t forget, if you purchase Repro, you’ll qualify for all currently available free gifts at Plugin Boutique.
