Vampire Lasher: SFX
Vampire Lasher: SFX is a collection of NES-style 8-bit sound effects inspired by the original Castlevania, designed around the weapons, treasures, and dangers found throughout Dracula’s castle.
This pack features weapon sounds such as whips, axes, daggers, boomerangs, and holy water, along with the results of combat including enemy hits, enemy defeats, player damage, and death sounds. It also includes classic item and pickup effects like hearts, sub-weapons, money, and crosses, as well as special effects for invincibility, time stopping, and point bonuses.
Each sound effect is provided with several closely related variations, giving you alternate sounds that keep the same character and function. All sounds are created from scratch using original synthesis and sound design techniques, capturing the character of the original hardware without sampling or copying any game audio.
This pack contains:
- 98 8-Bit Sound Effects
- 1 SFX Sampler Patch
- Formatted for Kontakt • Ableton Live • Logic Pro • Maschine • FL Studio • MPC • TAL-Sampler
- 24-bit / 44.1 kHz WAV

More Sound Info
This sound effects pack showcases a wide range of techniques possible on the original hardware. Frequency sweeps, wave doubling, pitch bends, noise frequency shifts, sound recordings, and mini-melodies were all used during the sample creation process.
Many of the sound effects include loop points and release samples, allowing them to be held indefinitely when used in samplers, with a distinct release sound triggered at the end of the loop. The “take damage” vocal sounds were created from human voice recordings that were trimmed and processed to resemble the character of the original game audio.
