Flashback
by BeatSkillz
Flashback is an 80s-inspired instrument packed with authentic pop, film, and TV sounds from the era. With deep-sampled synths, expressive presets, and built-in effects, it’s everything you need to bring retro nostalgia into modern productions.
Authentic 80s sound, reimagined for today
Built from real analog and digital synths, Flashback delivers the lush pads, punchy basses, and colorful leads that defined the decade. With dual layering engines, an advanced arpeggiator, and nine swappable effects, it makes recreating the 80s sound easy and inspiring.
Dual multisample engines
Layer or split two multisample engines, A and B, across your keyboard for rich, dynamic textures. Each engine is fully MIDI-mappable, making it easy to design complex 80s-inspired sounds for both studio and performance.
Expressive synthesis features
Shape your sound with ADSR envelopes, LFOs, portamento, and velocity curves. Each engine also includes an analog-modeled ladder filter with LP, HP, and BP modes, giving you full control over movement, tone, and dynamics.
Powerful arpeggiator
Build evolving 80s-style sequences with a 32-step arpeggiator synced to tempo. Modulate velocity, note length, and pitch per step, then save your own patterns or explore factory presets for instant inspiration.
9 built-in effects
Add authentic polish and color with nine swappable effects, including reverb, chorus/flanger, phaser, EQ, compressor, bitcrusher, delay, saturation, and stereo expander.
