What it is
Darkstar - Haunted House is a standalone synth library built with Warp artist Darkstar, running as a dedicated plugin (VST2, VST3, AAX, AU) through the free Spitfire Audio App. It's built from processed analogue synth textures and loops, thick sub-basses, pitched-down drums, and icy, warped vocals, all layered with subtle spectral echoes. The sound palette moves between mournful, ominous tones and warm, nostalgic ones, drawing from shoegaze, deep house, grime, and 2-step.
Who it's for
Composers scoring film, TV, and games who need atmospheric beds and tension-building textures, plus electronic producers working in house, ambient, grime, and 2-step who want unconventional synth and vocal textures rather than standard leads and pads.
Key features
- 44 presets are organized across five categories - Synths, Voices, Found Sound, Drums (RVVM), and processed sounds (W4RPD)
- Nine custom-built reverbs shape the space around each patch
- A dynamics slider morphs each sound from clean to fully processed in real time
- Stretch, flanger, attack, release, and delay controls let you reshape sample playback and texture on the fly
