XLN Audio have released Neon Dreams, a preset pack for XO, available for €39.00.
Starcadian often describes his songs as “ear movies.” Honestly, nothing could be more fitting. Hearing his music is like finding long-lost soundtracks to cult 1980s fantasy/science fiction films spawned from our collective memory bank’s imagination: lucid dreams of neon and silhouettes against a setting California sun, coated in 16mm film grain.
With this expertly curated XOpak you’ll transport your tracks and mixes to a neon-drenched 1980s in seconds with song-inspiring, fully editable presets fuelled by nostalgia-inducing synth arpeggios and hard-hitting kick drums, punchy gated snares, and driving beats in the vein of Kavinsky, Georgio Moroder, John Carpenter, Justice, The Midnight, Com Truise, and SebastiAn.
So pop on your Wayfarers, and teleport yourself to a sonic world of top-down Ferarri Testarossas driving into a neon-soaked sunset dowsed in VHS warmth.
What’s included:
- Mix-ready, fully editable loops
- 96 inspiring presets & 221 curated one-shot samples
- Your cheat code to 80s soundtrack nostalgia & the modern-day Synthwave sound
Neon Dream requires XO (not included).
