What Is Decatur?
Decatur is a sampled based Kontakt library highlighting the keyboard and synth sounds used by some of the most influential artists throughout the 1980’s. These classic sounds which were featured in countless radio hits dominated the airwaves for decades and have without a doubt, become a staple of musical nostalgia over the years. All of these sounds are now available, for the first time, in one library!

8 Category Folders
Arps
This is a collection of famous arpeggiated sounds heard in some of the classic hits.
Synth Bass
Samples from legendary synths known for their fat bass sound such as the MiniMoog, the Prophet V, Yamaha DX7 and others.
Synth Brass
Analog brass from the Oberheim series, the Prophet, Roland Jupiter series and other FM based synthas well as FM Brass sounds.
Keys
This library includes samples that would not necessarily fit into the Leads category, the Piano category or the Pads category. In some cases, the samples are a combination of all of the above.
Synth Leads
The leads were sampled from vintage machines as well as some of the best virtual synths available today.
Organ
Here you can find mostly Hammond Organ B‐3 patches and a couple of vintage organ patches provided by the Vox Continental organ.
Pads
Legendary pad sounds of synthesizer behemoths like the Oberheim OB‐8, Roland’s Jupiter 8 and Sequential Circuits Prophet among others.
Pianos
This section focuses mainly on DX Electric pianos similar to those from the famous Yamaha DX7 and Roland D-50, as well as a Fender Rhodes Electric piano and a few layered acoustic pianos.

I expected this to be g.....e/rather poor approximations of the originals even before I heard the demos...

It depends what you do with stuff like this.
Its like those beats by dre headphones,
that are probably decent headphones, but nothing special.

But its SAYS, "Beats by Dre" on it.
Its got like a red b or something...
And people get a CULTURE, just from that.
It makes you FEEL, PART of something.

And thats what fuels some people's creativity.
Just being part of something. Music is MOSTLY is a social construction.
Probably entirely. Who listens to music that only yourself listens to?
We'll never know.

the title caught my attention
so i checked the demo videos ,there are some nice nostalgic sounds
however
these sounds are focused on the 80s style in USA and UK and forgot the rest (intentionally)

i do have Emu and AKAI Libraries and it has all these famous sounds and more so
i ll pass this one

thanks zytto
living in the 80s is good thing

It's strange how some people seem to love this, others hate it :) Are people disliking it simply because they think the sounds are not close enough to the originals?

Has anyone had a problem with these sounds distorting?

I really like the initial sound of these but after a minute the sounds start to distort?

Would really like to use these too!


Anyone???

Actually I didn't have them distorting but you have to understand they are might feel dated, so volume increase is to much for them, you should compress them a lot to get them going

Turns out there was some weird behaviour with the modwheel setting jumping right up when I opened them!

Pulled it down and they sounded great!

Weird behaviour though...
