Thought it was high time I write something on here, in case anyone thought I remained in a port and cheese coma from Christmas. Sadly not. I have in fact been slaving away in “the bunker” – don’t know why I’ve called it that, my studio is in fact on the top floor. Ever since [...]

It’s the last day of my Advent Calendar. Wipe those tears from your eyes. It’s been a roller coaster ride of fun and games but, if I’m honest, I’m kinda glad to see the back of it! Thanks for all the support, downloads and purchases over the last month. It is really appreciated and means [...]

As I missed yesterday (was busy visiting my family and distributing Christmas presents!), today I bring you two new free synth patches. Hurrah.

It’s Day N-n-n-n-nineteen! Only people of a certain age will get that. Udan is a sweeping, snarling bass drone for NI Massive, full of deep frequencies and resonance.

Day Seventeen brings Syksy, a characterful, drifting, retro, synth piano sound for NI Absynth. Lots of fun.

Day Sixteen brings us back round to Zebra. I decided to have a play with Zebra’s arpeggiator architecture and see if I could get some nice rhythmic dynamics going on melodically. Suvi is a synth sequence with plenty of movement and energy that will be useful for underscore. Listen and download.

We’re back to Omnisphere for Day Fifteen. And it’s time for a classic synth pad. Deep and crisp and even, perfect for this year. Sugis.
