Bass synthesizer plugin based on the Roland TB-303
The Phoscyon is a bass synthesizer plugin that D16 Group perfectly mimics the sound of classic analog devices, modelled on the Roland TB-303. With distortion, arpeggiator, randomizer, play live mode, and vintage-style construction, pattern builder, and authentic 18db/oct low-pass filter, hardly any synth fan wish remains unfulfilled, making the module attractive for musicians and producers of electronic music and hiphop in general. Whether Techno, Triphop, IDM, D&B, Ambient or any other genre-transcending music, the Phoscyon gives you the tools to drive your sound forward.
Connoisseurs of the original TB-303 will be amazed by the inconceivable similarity of emulation by the phoscyon. But the potential does not end with simple imitation. With this plugin you can create sounds that were unthinkable with the original Bass Line. And yet the Phoscyon gives you access to authentic Vintage sounds at a fraction of the cost of the original device. The familiar Bass Line user interface has been adopted and paired with new sound creation tools. With the basic idea that electronic music only remains relevant by evolving itself, the programmers of D16 have also added some tools that allow forward-thinking producers and musicians to create their modern dream sounds.
The Phoscyon plugin comes with a unique low pass filter with 18db/oct dumping and constant resonance amplitude over the entire frequency domain. The filter sounds simply great and is hardly distinguishable from that of an analog device. The synth plugin is also equipped with an arpeggiator (a must in electronic music) and an analog distortion effect, which is especially useful for screaming bass voices.
