SYNTHETICS VST PLUGIN [FREE DOWNLOAD]

I made another plugin for Windows and Mac and this one is called Synthetics half the word synthesizer and half the word genetics and is another synthy VST for you if it’s any good to you. I made the VST sounds with Massive and the plugin itself with Romplur and took two days to make the whole thing from scratch. I must admit I could have done better with some of the sounds but I couldn’t be bothered to find a good tutorial to make some outstanding sounds and I haven’t made sounds with Massive for a while now so it was kind of hard to get the sounds right especially the basses which I spent more time with that then the synth sounds. I made 40 synth sounds from scratch and 20 basses from scratch which took all morning and all day to do but it was kind of easy as it was swapping the settings around and changing Oscillator wavetables, some of the sounds are a bit rough but it is an experimental synth plugin and also I left some options like delay, reverb and filter cut-off to modify the sound as you wish. It’s ideal for all synth genres but especially for electronic experimental which wasn’t how I planned the plugin but it turned out that way I kind of started off making an experimental plugin and then forgetting and then wanting some more normal synth sounds.   I would describe the sounds as sounds from the old 70s synthesizers like the Modular with square and sine basses but the synth sounds remind me of the old skool original synthesizers that were before my time but still fashionable and well sort after in my era which was the 80s and 90s I was born in the 80s though.  I made the GUI as seen in the picture above and I love to photoshop. I use Gimp for now to do all the photo editing but I really need Adobe as I heard it has more options though a bit long and stretched to put it together but it’s always worth doing it. I also called it Synthetics as I have synth music in my blood and am quite obsessed with them if that’s the right word. It started down at the Fire Station a hang-out in Bristol for up-and-coming artists and I used to play around on the synths making my own beats once I had the drums which I used to do that way in advance to save me time and effort when I really wanted to make music and plus I only had a couple of hours a day but it was time well spent and all the fun I had whilst there. Synth music is my passion and don’t think I would have enjoyed playing around with them if I didn’t play the keyboard at an early age but I always wanted to make my own music and sounds and now I have the chance to do it I can’t stop and I am always looking for new ways to make music and love to make Electronic Dance Music too which is my other love. I’ll probably use this plugin again for some more experimental stuff but I already used it for a synth scape which is an hour-long synth journey using only this plugin and drums. I made the first one after I messed up a mix I was making and it came out weird but interesting so I  decided to make something of it which is now going to be a running theme on my YouTube channel and in the video section on this website but YouTube is the main channel and have already posted lots of videos to hopefully keep you entertained, I posted the synth scape video in this post below the demo video since I only used this one.

Music News – New EP Release; 6 Pack Remixes I

March 15, 2023

MUSIC NEWS

15/03/2023 - New EP; 6 Pack Remixes I

Another House mini-album of remixes from some of the songs I made that was House, Jungle/Drum & Bass and synthy stuff. I wasn’t going to release it but I liked the tracks and thought why not so here they are. I do like making remixes and will be doing more remixes in the future as I have lots of files of my songs I can re-edit which is what I like to do. I was going to do another Remix This which is songs of other artists which I remix but I felt like remixing my own as I said I have lots of files I can open up and edit and most of the tracks have been released already at some point but I swapped artist’s name so they aren’t on the internet no more but I am putting up the best ones at some point. I also want to start making singles with the original track remix and two or one other song on there which I will be doing real soon as that is something I enjoy doing and means I can do more tracks which is why I don’t really do albums no more and like EPs and singles as it’s more quicker to do then the albums which take some time to do but to be honest not that much time only a couple days at the max. I called it 6 pack remixes as there are six tracks nothing much to it really but I want to make songs more on steroids but it does take more time to make outstanding tracks but I like them to be honest. Some of the original tracks can be found on my Bandcamp page and can be downloaded for free but I went for the ones I liked not the ones I rereleased so they are random really. I remember the days I was fit and had a six-pack and always was toned I mean I’m not fat just a bit flabby and I was a gymnast at some point when I was younger but now I’m a smoker and sit at home all day on my computer which isn’t good for the heart but I do walk quick so when I walk they say it’s more of a slow jog but it get’s me there more quicker . 

Music News – New EP Release; All Said & Done

09/03/2023 - New EP; All Said And Done

A House EP or it’s more like a single as there are three tracks. It’s Tech House, House with a bit of Deep House which is the last track on the single. I didn’t really intend to do a single and it was going to be an EP but I couldn’t be bothered to do the last track, I should start making more singles but with more remixes and the original track as I enjoy making remixes with the original track which I’ve done a few times now. I haven’t made Tech House for while now and the last track was in 2017 when I started making music again as I was making music in the mid-2000s but in 2017 I bought FL Studio and a sample pack which is all that I had at the start now I have lots of stuff like synth plugins, drums, and also stuff to improve the sound like EQ filters and hardware filters to scope the sound. I like to buy synth plugins and other plugins and even though they are quite expensive it’s always worth it just as long as they don’t break down also updating them takes some time which is why I don’t really update them that much. When it’s all said and done it’s all down to you or though it’s cool to rely on people I think only you can look after yourself and it’s important to rely on yourself and most importantly keep yourself happy and focused only you can do that and relying on people to keep you happy shouldn’t always be done but spending time by yourself and doing what you want to do should always be put first but having people around is important even though I don’t really need no one as I’m in my own world doing creative stuff and keeping busy with stuff I enjoy doing which is a lot of things actual but all creative stuff. 

Music News – New EP Release; Raver’s Anonymous

MUSIC NEWS

07/03/2023 - New EP Release; Raver's Anonymous

An Acid House EP with one Acid House with Break music track which is the first track on the EP. I was lucky as I noticed on all the junk I bought or all the junk I use IE synths I noticed I had the TB-303 plugin which is the Acid Line plugin and the hardware is made by the music company Roland for those who didn’t know or don’t know what the TB-303 is but to sum it up it makes acid house music and was the chosen instrument for people who made House music and also Techno in the late 80’s to the mid-90s where by around 1995 music had moved and changed again into more soulful stuff or it was around me. Out of the 80s and 90s, I do prefer 80s Acid House and I like the fact they only used it in parts, not in the whole song like most 90s Acid House where people just wanted to hear the B line with the drums and vocals over it but they would do with just the instrumental as people loved to hear the new sound or new at the time sound the sound of the TB-303. It is a shame the illegal raves circuit is no more and is now illegal to have a rave say on a field, for example, I would love for it to still be around as I would be out a lot more but ah that’s life or is it Bistro. The closet I got to a field rave was what I would call the hometown Glastonbury Festival but it still brought in some big DJs and names as this is Bristol you never know what’s happening but it’s been quiet for me for over a decade now I need to get out more and live a little it’s boring being stuck in doors all day.

Frolic Farm

This is the demo EP to my also free download VST plugin which I made the sounds myself using sounds I found online and FXs which I layred over the farm animal noises. I would call it synth music and is something I just put together as a demo but you can have it. The plugin can be found under the Free Downloads page under the G.N.L. Hub>VST Downloads where free VSTs await

FARMYARD FROLLICS VST PLUGIN [FREE DOWNLOAD]

A free VST Plugin and a bit of fun it’s of farm sounds with extra knobs to twiddle with and experiment with. I did leave the sounds as they were but I was going to make sounds but I like the idea of experimenting and coming up with different sounds and rhythms but I might make another one with more sounds you can use straight off unless you are using the sounds for other then making music then this plugin may be for you. It has 20 of the main sounds of the farm including a cow, a duck, a chicken, a horse, a pig, a sheep and lamb, a donkey, a rooster, a turkey, a rabbit, a frog, birds chirping, a goose, chicks, a cricket, a dog and cat and even the llama.  As I said before it also comes with extra knobs to fiddle with such as flanger, delay, reverb, LFO, chorus, phaser and knobs for attack, decay extra. I do encourage you to use extra plugins on the sounds I used filters from Arturia on all the demo songs below and Fab Filters to smooth things out a bit but apart from that all the things used were from the plugin itself. I used Romplur to make the plugin and I used their website and stuff to make the GUI cover which I like and I think looks different and a bit public information film or PIF for short as I always type after each time. These are royalty free sounds and you can use them for any genre as they are just sounds with extra options but I made two synthy tracks, a Reggaeton track and House track with the sounds using one or two paired FXS at  a time. I could have added more but I wanted to stay with the main animals on the farm and did a bit of research on the animals you will found on a farm which are all on this list. I called it Farmyard Frollics as I wanted something fun like I hope the plugin will be and I thought there was something funny about frolics but I spelt it with two ls by accident actually but then I remembered something I read ages ago that plugins are meant to be spelt wrong or different so it all worked out fine in the end.  Making this plugin does make me want to get back out there and start on them country walks again as I love to walk and seem to over walk until I’m too far and realise I have gone way to far and wished I didn’t walk so far and that I was at home again but my dog seemed to love it R.I.P. There something about going to the country side and seeing all those sites and sounds and feeling quite relax but saying that I’ve been on some noisy walks with the tractors and ducks and animals making a racket but it’s always fun to be out in the open I’m too busy in doors now a days which is a shame but in the summer I must try and get out a bit more that’s the plan anyway but I do like being in front of the computer a lot.

Music News – New EP Release; Year’s Go By

February 27, 2023

MUSIC NEWS

27/02/2023 - New EP Release; Year's Go By

A synthy EP of Synthwave stuff I made and now on all the major platforms. I called it Year’s Go By as they say time is flying by and I barely remember what I did the other year which feels like I lost my mind a little lol not lol. I was born in the 80s so what that’s now under 4 decades on this earth and it’s hard to say how much it has changed for the good and for the worst or though I feel there is some sort of back peddling going on and a fight with humanity more then ever. They say the world is going get more manic and that might be true who knows but with real threats of destruction it’s hard to tell what is going to happen but I know you can’t stop the threat of things like terrorism and global disasters from happening and that’s just the world we live in now a days and forever. I do miss being young though and living in a more stress free environment but I’m not going lie I do like being a adult and  enjoy having the privileges of some things that kids don’t get but I miss being young but most importantly being in a more safer environment. But saying that things are more easy to get at like the things you want and it’s reasonable well some of it is and I ain’t talking the silly stuff that has no meaning to me like fashion items but I do like fashion though it’s just I’m more Primark lol, okay call me cheap then. Talking of fashion I decided not to but that NAFA jacket online I didn’t know if it was real or not and there was no way of verifying it so I saved my money but I do like retro designs from the 80s and 90s and would re wear them if I shopped fashionable for a change but my style is a hoodie and jeans with trainers and you can’t go wrong with that.

Decades Of Synthesizers – Selection 1

As part of my live music sessions, I recorded and put on YouTube for your entertainment. This is the 70s edition so all the old retro synthesizers from that era. I would name them but I can’t remember which synth plugins they are but I know I used the Moog for some of the tracks. I will be making more live sessions real soon so if you want to see that or any of the demos I made please go to my YouTube channel @GasNoLight.

Safety First

A special album of songs I made from Public Information Films from mostly the 50s and onwards from America. Some of them are British Public Information Films otherwise called PIFS but mostly are from America from table manners, Marijuana, Communists, gambling and more. It’s an old album which I made around 2018 but I thought I’d give it away for free.Â
