LFO Store's Klaus Schulze Tribute: 40 modWave Patches Recreate Berlin-School Textures

LFO Store, driven by sound designer Nick Klimenko (aka Chronos), released a 40-performance soundset called Klaus Schulze Tribute for the Korg modWave on January 20, 2026. The pack is compatible with modWave hardware Mk1 and Mk2 and the modWave native plugin, and it focuses squarely on the sequenced patterns, complex arpeggios, Moogy leads, and expansive pads that define Berlin-School aesthetics. For modWave owners and synth collectors chasing vintage Schulze flavors, this is a compact, performance-ready toolkit.

The collection recreates textures inspired by Schulze albums such as Crystal Lake and Body Love, emphasizing evolving sequences and spacey atmospherics rather than direct emulations. Klimenko assigned macro controls and layered expressive parameters for real-time manipulation, so users can morph sequences, open filters, and shift timbres on the fly. That makes the pack useful for live sets, improvisational sessions, and soundtrack work where hands-on control and immediate dynamic change matter.

Patches cover a range of roles: arpeggiated basslines, interlocking sequences, warm lead voices that nod to Moog-style character, and long, modulating pads that fill out an ambient mix. Each performance is organized for quick recall, letting players chain scenes in a set or drop patches into a DAW session with minimal setup. The native plugin support means producers can audition and automate parameters directly in a host, while hardware owners get the tactile benefits of modWave front-panel controls and modulation sources.

At €15, the pack positions itself as an affordable sound-design resource for anyone with GAS for Berlin-School rigs but without access to original modular setups or rare analog units. The soundset also serves as a learning library: studying the patches reveals choices in sequencing, modulation routing, and macro mapping that players can adapt to their own patches and modular rigs. For performers who like to patch cables and chase feedback effects, these presets offer ready-made starting points to integrate into larger systems.

Purchase, download, and demo material are available through LFO Store, where audio demos accompany the pack so buyers can hear the sequences and pads before committing. The pack supports both immediate performance use and deeper template work for studio projects.

For modWave owners and vintage-synth players, the Klaus Schulze Tribute delivers focused, playable Berlin-School textures at a modest price, providing both gig-ready sounds and instructional blueprints to inform your next set or studio session.
