It’s that time of year again it’s once again Christmas so I got into the festive mood by making another VST. I again used Romplur and this time Christmas sounds from Pixabay I used different FXs on the sounds and they were mostly hardware filters, but I like the sounds and think they came out well. There are 40 sounds 8 arp-type sounds and the rest is keys which is Christmas synthy sounds and some voice one too. It’s not all Christmas stuff and I would say you could use it in most genres. I used it on House, Synthwave and Jungle/Drum and Bass in my demo tracks which you can find below on this page but you are free to try it out on something else. The plugin for Windows and Mac has all the main knobs to shape your sound to what you like and has features like delay, reverb, chorus, phaser, HP and LP filters, glide, voice amount and the main features like attack, decay, sustain and release. I called it Chrisizer as it’s half the word Christmas and the other half is from synthesizer I wanted to have a Christmasy name and that was the best I could think of to be honest but I like it. I made the GUI in the picture above I used the Romplur website and their stuff to make it and I also used Gimp a free Photoshop program as Adobe takes ages to load and I always seem to have some sort of issue with it but Gimp works a treat. Below is a demo video with all the sounds in the VST and three demo tracks I made which is a mix genre single I put together so you can see the finished sound, anyway enjoy the free download and Merry Christmas.  

I made another VST free to download it’s a Halloween special and I used an old Yahama keyboard for the sounds and put FXS on them to change the sound, I also designed the GUI to the plugin which as always I enjoyed doing the most apart from making the sounds for the VST which I also enjoyed the most. I named it Dungeon to go with the Halloween theme and because it’s a dark-sounding VST and you can’t get any darker than a dungeon. I used an old photo I took which was around 2010 of the woods when it was getting dark it is one of my favourite photos I took other than the one I took with my dog the same day with her in a misty background in the background it looked like she was standing on her legs and her eyes were all lit up, I should dig it up again one day and try to use it in something but I have no idea what. As always I used Romplur to make the VST with the Romplur website to put the GUI together which didn’t take that long I also used online FXs for a change to make the main background picture for the GUI. I wanted to make something diverse so I made or as I wished to I ended up with various sounds that would be good for soundtracks of all types including atmospheric soundtracks so I’m pretty happy with the outcome and with the new plugin. I rent to own which is paid in small bits and it’s yours once you pay off the balance no extra charges and you can cancel whenever you want. I love the scheme and I’ve been doing it on Splice since they introduced the thing I can’t remember when that was but it wasn’t that long ago. I used Infiltrator 2 plugin to change the sounds and transform them it’s the newest plugin I got and I’m still trying to get to grips with it so I used the presents for now until I know how to use it properly but it sounds good still unsure how much or how many times you can change the sound to a different texture but I like it. As always the plugin comes with built-in FX to further change it like Reverb, Delay, Chorus, LFO Routing, Chrous, Glide, Cutoff for High Pass and Low Pass Filters and more. The plugin is suited for all genres as it’s a synth but also good for Halloween and Horror soundtracks and songs and also dark and moody tracks but I made it with Halloween and Horror tracks in mind.  Below is the demo video with all the sounds in the video and also 4 tracks which show off the sounds some more and are all different genres to get a feel for what it can and can not do but something Halloweeny and also can be found on my Bandcamp free download page since it’s Halloween.
