Fabric Vintage Synths, Vol 1 brings together Fabric Vintage Pro, Fabric Vintage Jup, and Fabric Vintage Memorymoog in one unified virtual instrument collection. Inspired by three of the most influential analog polysynths ever created, these instruments have been reimagined through the AIR Advanced Multi-Sample Synthesis Fabric Engine for flexible, intuitive music-making.
Each instrument in this collection captures the sonic DNA of cherished 1970s and 1980s polyphonic synthesizers and places it inside a powerful, modern instrument designed for how producers, composers, and synthesists work today.
Get immediate access to iconic synth sounds without vintage hardware limitations. Click on the synth image above to explore the sounds and layout of each virtual instrument in this collection.
At the core of each instrument are raw sounds sourced directly from the original hardware, meticulously captured to preserve the character, instability, and personality that made synths of that early electronic music era iconic.
Those sounds are then expanded far beyond the limitations of vintage hardware with AIR Fabric's modern polyphony, layered oscillators, advanced filtering, MPE support, a deep modulation system, and a contemporary effects engine.
The result is a unified collection that feels unmistakably vintage but behaves like a modern, adaptable synth platform.
Fabric Vintage Synths, Vol 1 is available for MPC Standalone, MPC Desktop, and all major DAWs.
Fabric Vintage Synths, Vol 1 is powered by the Fabric sound engine, an advanced multi-sample synthesis platform that delivers a consistent UI and modulation architecture, with the following features that make it familiar and flexible for all AIR instrument users.
This innovative Fabric engine allows these virtual instruments to retain their unique identity while working seamlessly across MPC hardware and desktop DAWs.
Designed for modern production workflows, the stylized front panel page of each Fabric Vintage Synth in this collection offers eight macro controls, four oscillator toggles, and five FX module toggles. This layout puts essential sound-shaping tools right at your fingertips.
Two main oscillators offer categorized selectors, volume, pan, and formant controls, plus octave, coarse, and fine tuning. Pitch randomization and drift bring analog warmth, while sample start offset adds sonic variety. Each oscillator features a dedicated BPM-syncable LFO with eight wave shapes, plus rate, fade-in, depth, and multiple modulation destinations.
Shape noise with volume, pan, filter, decay, and release offset controls. Its dedicated BPM-syncable LFO enables rhythmic modulation, perfect for adding grit or movement to your sound.
Dedicated ADSR amp and filter envelopes include velocity sensitivity and velocity-to-attack time mapping. The filter envelope features bipolar depth control for creative modulation. The instruments also have a dedicated ADSR pitch envelope.
Add rhythmic complexity to your sound with multiple arpeggiator shapes, note order and max note options, swing, and advanced timing controls. Features like momentary arp freeze, repeat, ratchet, octave randomization, and pause make for an organic sound-sculpting experience with each session. The arpeggiator is MPE compatible and supports assignable modulation sources.
Explore and experiment with an extensive library of sounds. Each instrument in Fabric Vintage Synths, Vol 1 comes packed with studio-quality presets covering basses, pads, leads, sequences, and cinematic textures.
All classic synths in the Fabric Vintage Synths Collection, Vol 1 share a common GUI/TUI layout to provide a consistent and familiar user experience. Dive deep into sound design with access to every parameter across oscillators, modulation, envelopes, and effects.
Add body and character to your mixes with Fabric's virtual analog Sub Oscillator offering four selectable wave shapes, volume and pan control, and filter with decay and release offset. It also includes pitch drift, pan key-tracking, and a dedicated BPM-syncable LFO for evolving textures.
A global LFO with eight different LFO shapes and BPM sync allows you to modulate multiple parameters simultaneously. Adjustable rate, fade-in, and depth controls give you more control over modulation intensity and timing.
All Fabric Vintage Synths in this collection (Vol 1) have a fixed FX section that includes five modules with mix controls. The distortion section offers 12 models with depth, filtering, smoothing, and two modulation sources. The delay features BPM-syncable modes (single, dual, cross) with extensive feedback options and a feedback LFO. The reverb section includes 12 models, 16 early reflection models, and controls for pre-delay, time, damp, plus EQ and compression.
Fabric Vintage Synths, Vol 1 instruments are MPE compatible. They are also equipped with assignable mod wheel, aftertouch, expression, and footswitch controls that allow for seamless compatibility with MIDI controllers and other external gear.
