Sonokinetic makes incredible libraries and 80 is no exception. With pristine recording, a great synth addition, and imaginative phrases, 80 is the perfect library to get your creativity going. As a foundation to composition, a way to breathe life into your scoring, or just because it sounds so good, 80 is a tool that will give any work colour and an animated personal touch. As a long-time Sonokinetic user, this is one of their best and it is as useful as it is original. Another fantastic library and I can’t wait to see what is next!
