While it can produce some dark-sounding tones, it also has a dreamy quality; it’s an instrument that’s distinctive yet soft.

Product details
Brand: Spitfire Audio
Immerse yourself in the unique and inspiring sound world of electronic duo Darkstar — processed analogue synth textures and loops, rich sub-basses, pitched-down drums, and icy, warped vocals, each layered with subliminal spectral echoes of rave culture and industrial white noise — ghosts in the machine, bleeding in and fading out. Haunted House expands on the sonic palette of Darkstar’s 2020 album Civic Jams, out now on Warp Records — ‘a photonegative of a dance record’. From mournful and ominous, to warm, heartfelt nostalgia, each sound is full of character and emotion, designed to create tension, depth and atmosphere for any setting — from contemporary electronic music, to hybrid, modern film, TV & games composition. Presented in our award-winning, easy-to-use dedicated plug-in, this versatile tool offers a range of controls and effects, so you can immediately transform each preset to facilitate your own vision.

Easy to use, some really nice sound options. A little more complex than I was expecting but not unhappy
Sounds good. Loved the spooky sounds.
Sounds are too low and not ear catching at all!
Classy and eerie
For your Sun and bass needs. I have Aperture but it’s nice piggy backing and layering to achieve unique sounds
Great Software, it can be used for more than just horror or Sci Fi, some nice features for tension in other story genre.
Perfect for the soundscapes I produce. Very satisfied.
Very user friendly
Unlike other products in this series, I found this sample pack less inspiring, The sounds tend to be all quite "similar". I realize this is a matter of personal taste....
Particular. Inventive
Very useful if you know very well how to using them in you DAW.
Unfortunately a bad point for this instrument, quite far from what I expected. Lack of originality, uninspiring, too restricted in its own field of application. Certainly a very affordable price but I bought it to participate to the contest mainly about its use, I quickly regretted my purchase. A haunted house atmosphere deserved much better than this.
Well-crafted, inspiring and useful sound palette
No GNU/Linux support and this plugin doesn't work with wine (others by Spitfire are working). It's about time to have plugin format working on every OS, it's 2022 not 1990!
Excellent and very differant library - but with many uses in all sorts of music. A must buy at this price!
Some very cool sounds (synths/basses)! Don't love the "voice"stuff, and I would like some more percussive elements.
I found that all of the presets are useful. They seem to take on a different life when you process them with other outboard gear or effects. Grab some Valhalla Supermassive and listen to the magic happen.
Quality product, especially for the price. I've had some fun playing around with these sounds.
Darkstar became an interesting piece of my soundscape collection. It has a super specific range of haunting emotions and it blends incredible well with strings, pianos and all the orchestral approach. It also sounds perfect for lo-fi and EDM!
