Retromulator is a multi-core retro hardware emulation app and AUv3 plug-in that brings legendary synthesizer, sampler, and keyboard cores back to life through authentic low-level emulation. Each core runs its original firmware, a clean-room controller written from the behaviour of the hardware, a physical model or sample data — delivering the unmistakable character of the hardware that defined electronic music from the early 80s through the 2000s. — EMULATED CORES — VIRTUAL ANALOG SYNTHS • Nordic — virtual analog synth after the Nord Lead 1 by discoDSP, with its own panel, factory banks, Nord Lead SysEx import and its own AUv3 • Nordic 2 — Nord Lead 2 recreation by discoDSP, clean-room coded with no firmware, 64 voices, Performance mode with four slots, Nord Lead 2 and N2X bank loading and its own AUv3 Firmware-level chip emulation, enabled with the 56k cores option (requires M1 iPad or iPhone 15 Pro or newer): • Access Virus A, B and C — Motorola DSP 56300 recreation • Access Virus TI / TI2 / Snow — Motorola DSP 56300 recreation • Waldorf microQ — Motorola DSP 56300 recreation • Waldorf Microwave XT — Motorola DSP 56300 recreation • Roland JP-8000 and JP-8080 — JE-8086 core by Giulio Zausa ANALOG SYNTHS • Oberheim Matrix-1000 — clean-room controller, no firmware needed, driving six CEM3396 voice models, with a MIDI CC for each of the 96 patch parameters and LFO sync to the host tempo or MIDI clock • MiniD — discoDSP's analog core in the layout of the classic three-oscillator monosynth, voiced from measurements of analog hardware, with a ladder filter, Poly, Unison and Double voicing, 49 factory presets and its own AUv3 • OB-Xd 2 — discoDSP's synth after the Oberheim OB-X, OB-Xa and OB-8, with its own panel, 24 factory banks and its own AUv3 FM SYNTHESIS • Yamaha DX7 — clean-room controller, no firmware needed, driving the original EGS and OPS chip models from VDX7 by Charles Chiaccona • Yamaha OPL3 — Nuked OPL3 cycle-accurate FM by Nuke.YKT GM / GS SOUND MODULES • 88emu — Roland SC-88, SC-88VL, SC-88Pro, SC-8850 and SC-55mkII boards, emulation by Giulio Zausa, with GS variation, map and rhythm handling, program and drum kit names read straight from the board ROM, 16-part multitimbral operation, and a Standard MIDI File player with offline rendering to WAV or AAC.
