Description
Journey to a time when synthetic soundscapes ruled the silver screen, ENCOM commanded the world of computer science, and the concept of cyberspace was pure science fiction. With this in mind, Puremagnetik has crafted the perfect synth to score a John Carpenter classic.
Nighthawk is a 1980's inspired pad synth capable of generating complex, evolving sounds similar to those of the Yamaha CS-80 and Oberheim Xpander. Each Nighthawk voice is fed through a supersaw matrix of 7 oscillators that can be detuned and phase shifted against each other. The resulting synthesized sonic wall of lasers can be pulse-width morphed and modulated into fantastic tapestries of dystopian '80s cinema.
