Review of AudioWarp Retcon - BOC Synthesis for Kontakt

rekkerd.org

Audiowarp Retcon is a dream for ambient music creators, offering a visually striking interface and authentic Boards of Canada-inspired sounds. With an intuitive HEX layout and a plethora of modulation and effects options, this virtual instrument is versatile and powerful. However, some patches can be too loud, and the interface might not suit everyone's tastes. Overall, it's a compelling choice for those seeking lush, analogue-like textures.

Not worth the $50 but pretty good

First off, this library has crashed my entire computer leading to have to force-shutdown several times, even when I used the "Low-CPU version". Even after a RAM upgrade, it still crashes if I use more than one instance of it at a time.

It can also, at times, be a bit of a pain to compose and play with due to more than half of the synth samples being chords/obscure dyads, though perhaps that's just done to further emulate the BoC sound, which is understandable.

Retcon has some flaws, though is overall quite pretty if composed with in the "right" manner.
