Finding the right synth often feels like scrolling through endless presets that sound like thin, plastic imitations of hardware. EastWest Forbidden Planet breaks that cycle. Developed by industry legends Doug Rogers and Nick Phoenix, this isn’t just another oscillator-based plugin; it’s a massive 54GB cinematic anthology that combines heavy analog grit with organic orchestral textures and world instruments.
Whether you are scoring a dark sci-fi thriller or producing heavy-hitting electronic tracks, Forbidden Planet provides a hybrid palette that feels alive. And for a limited time at Audio Plugin Deals, when you pick up Forbidden Planet, you’ll also receive EastWest String Machine completely free. (MSRP: $149)
Most synths rely on the same tired waveforms. Forbidden Planet takes a different path by layering authentic analog synth samples with real acoustic instruments, choirs, and processed sound effects.
The Orbital Control: Central to the interface is an XY pad that allows you to move between different sound sources and filter settings in real time. You can blend a jagged analog lead into a haunting woodwind texture with a single motion.
Dual Arpeggiators: You get two independent sequencers, allowing for complex polyrhythms. You can have one layer handling a steady bass pulse while the other creates a shifting, melodic pattern on top.
Filter Modulation: Beyond the XY pad, the Step LFO and Mod Envelopes let you "pop the hood" to create gated rhythms and automated movements that evolve as you play.
Ready-to-Use Categories: With over 600 presets, you have immediate access to deep basses, mechanical drones, adaptive leads, and "Poly Synth" patches that bridge the gap between electronic and acoustic worlds.
To round out your toolkit, String Machine brings the nostalgic warmth of the 60s, 70s, and 80s to your DAW. It features meticulously sampled legendary hardware like the Arp Solina, Oberheim OBX, and Roland RS-505.
What makes it unique is the ability to layer these vintage analog textures with high-definition strings, brass, and vocals. It’s the perfect companion for synthwave, lo-fi hip hop, or adding a retro-future sheen to a pop production. You get that classic ensemble chorus effect that defined an era, but with the flexibility of a modern interface.
This bundle offers a complete spectrum of sound from the futuristic, cinematic weight of Forbidden Planet to the timeless, lush pads of String Machine. Grab this deal now and secure both for the price of one before the clock runs out.
