With effects such as the analogue-emulating Reelight and mix-phattener Slam Pro under its belt already, Beatskillz has recently moved into the world of VST, Audio Units and AAX instruments.
The Indian plugin company describes RetroVolt as a "Samplesizer", meaning that its source samples have been taken from a variety of classic synths.
You can choose two samples for RetroVolt's A and B sources, and dial in tuning, unison and vibrato controls. Next, the two samples are routed through their own envelopes and two filters (each with its own envelope to control its movement).
Elsewhere, RetroVolt has ten slots for effects (EQ, Comp, Shape, Legato, Limiter, Saturation, Reverb, Delay, Chorus and Phaser), plus a sequence/arp section with control over velocity, note length and pitch across three lanes. You can map your A and B source samples to different ranges of the keyboard to ceate key splits and overlaps.
