Immerse yourself in a world of grainy 80's nostalgia
Plugin Boutique presents our exclusive Retro Gaming Bundle! We've compiled everything from synths to 8-bit fx so that you have everything you need to start including the iconic sounds of your favourite vintage gaming consoles into your audio production.
Inphonik's RYM2612 Iconic FM Synthesizer is an impeccable emulation of the classic YM2612 sound chip, best known for being the vibrant voice of the Sega Genesis/Megadrive videogame console.
Audiothing miniBit boasts 18 waveforms to provide you with a whole pixelated pallet of chiptune synth sounds that can be manipulated into all kinds of noisy and retro sounds with miniBit's built-in bitcrusher, delay section and filter. Most of these waveforms were produced and transformed by using the famous Commodore Amiga 1200.
Audiothing miniVerb imitates the effects from game consoles such as the NES and SNES and provides authentic 80's delays and reverbs where the limitations of processing power available at the time meant that video game composers had to create weird and wonderful ways to add depth and space to their synth sounds.
kiloHearts Faturator can add an extra level of grit, oomph, fatness, rawness and colour to your audio, giving it a crunchy, retro edge.
Finally, explore the twisted and warped sounds of circuit-bent electronic appliances and toys such as the Texas Speak &Spell, Speak and Maths, Coleco TT, DSI, PSS 470, R50, RX17, SK5, SnM, SX1000, Tomy Toy, Tr505, ChitChat, Early Words, VPhonics and many others in Loopmasters Circuit Bent Sounds Vol 1 / 2 / 3.
Inphonik RYM2612 Iconic FM Synthesizer
RYM2612 is a software FM synthesizer in VST, Audio Unit and AAX formats. It’s an emulation of the Yamaha YM2612 sound chip, best known for being the vibrant voice of the Sega Genesis/Megadrive videogame console. More than a simple sound-alike, the emulation is cycle-accurate to the original chip, that allows reproducing every unique possibility of the synth. On top of this, the amp circuitry of the console has been reproduced too, in order to obtain the same grain you'd get if you plugged the real hardware into your DAW.
Features
- Cycle-accurate emulation of the YM2612 FM soundchip
- Genuinely reproduces the unique and characteristic sound of its hardware counterpart (digital saturation, huge feedback amount, natural distortion, …)
- Audio input for adding 8-bit PCM sweetness to any signal
- Low CPU usage
- Switchable output filtering and ladder effect
- A couple of limitations from the soundchip have been taken away: up to 16 voices of polyphony, dedicated PCM channel (you can, of course, stick to 6 simultaneous voices if you want to experience the real thing)
- 100+ various, sorted, evocative patches to start with

kiloHearts Faturator
Grit, oomph, fatness, raw, colour, or just that certain something. Sometimes your sounds need a shovel of dirt. Faturator is standing ready to tear whatever you throw at it apart violently, and then gently (but firmly) put it back together fatter and rawer than ever.
Faturator can do everything from adding subtle and warm gritty character to your sounds to slam them into a wall of heavy saturation and digital fuzz. Contrary to many distortion effects, Faturator will preserve the dynamics of your sound and work its wonders on it regardless of input gain.
For the heck of it, it can also color the input to emphasize a specific tone of the sound, or throw some stereo width into the mix. Everything to give you a fast and easy way of making any input come alive.

AudioThing miniBit
miniBit is an 8-bit/chiptune style synthesizer plugin that emulates the sound of 80s game consoles and retro computers.
It features a main oscillator with 18 waveforms paired with a tunable sub-oscillator (square wave). The waveforms are not bandlimited and will produce aliasing. Same of the waveforms were carefully created and edited with an Amiga 1200, while others were meticulously recreated from the sounds of the best classic games that we have collected over the years.
You can create all kind of noisy and retro sounds with the built-in bitcrusher, delay section and filter. You can also use the synced 8 Steps Stepper/Sequencer with multiple destinations.
From noisy, snare-like steps to ambient subs, miniBit has many uses beyond what one expects from a chiptune synth.
Features
- 18 Waveforms + Sub Oscillator
- Poly and Mono mode with Glide
- 2-poles LowPass/HighPass Filter
- Delay and BitCrusher effects
- LFO with multiple destinations
- Volume and Pitch Envelopes
- 8 Steps Stepper with multiple destinations
- 128 Presets + Preset randomizer
- Formats: VST, VST3, AU, and AAX (32/64bit)
- Platforms: OSX, Windows

AudioThing miniVerb
miniVerb is an 8-bit/chiptune and lofi reverb effect inspired by the sound of 80s game consoles and retro computers.
Early consoles didn’t have much power for DSP effects, so the video game composers at that time had to improvise. The most common way to add a sense of space/reverb to the sound was to sacrifice one of the internal tracks to play a delayed version of the original sound, essentially using a slapback echo to add depth.
The technique evolved and eventually, consoles started to take advantage of more power for real internal effects.
miniVerb recreates that classic digital echo/reverb sound, made famous by iconic consoles such as the NES and SNES, topping it with two filters (post/pre), vibrato, and crusher (bit crusher, downsampler, pitch shifter).
Features
- Pre/Post Filter (LP/HP)
- Echo (single/double mode)
- Vibrato
- Crusher (bit-crusher, downsampler, pitch shifter)
- 45 Presets
- Preset randomizer
