Three engines.
One bass.
An 808 sub, an FM engine and an analog oscillator, blended in real time on a Mars-shaped XY pad. SVF filter, three saturation modes, sidechain pump, compressor, and 50+ presets ready for trap, drill, hip-hop and EDM.
808, FM and analog, mixed live
Each engine has its own character: the 808 sub for weight, FM for bite and growl, a poly-BLEP analog oscillator for warmth. They are not layers you switch between, they blend, and the blend is a sound of its own.
- Dedicated sub oscillator underneath the three engines
- Glide between notes, from a slide to a slow bend
- Drive and tone shape the final output
The planet is the XY pad
Depth morphs the 808 against the outer engines; angle blends FM against analog. One gesture on the sphere moves the whole timbre, and the sphere answers your playing: GPU-rendered Mars with NASA surface textures, audio-reactive.
- Snap mode for repeatable positions
- Automatable from any DAW
Shape it, then burn it
A state-variable filter with low-pass, high-pass and band-pass modes, key tracking and its own ADSR. Then three saturation modes: atan for warmth, hard clip for aggression, tape for vintage grit, all with gain compensation so louder never lies.
Sidechain without a kick
Tempo-synced ducking with adjustable depth and curve: the pumping bass sound with nothing to route. A built-in compressor with threshold and ratio adds punch and tames the low end before it leaves the plugin.
Two panels, one instrument
Easy mode puts the essentials front and center: preset, XY pad, drive, tone, output. Expert mode opens every parameter: engine levels, FM ratio and index, filter ADSR, saturation type, sidechain curve, compressor, glide, sub. Switch any time.
01808 Trap
Hard-hitting subs with long sustain, pitch bends and saturated harmonics. The foundation of modern trap.
02Drill
Dark, sliding lines with aggressive saturation and tight envelopes. UK and NY drill ready.
03Hip-Hop
Warm, round tones with controlled dynamics, from boom-bap weight to modern melodic bass.
04EDM
Drops, growls and reese basses with heavy FM content and sidechain pumping.
05Analog
Classic subs and fat saw leads with a warm, organic character.
06Hybrid
Creative blends of all three engines: evolving textures and morphing timbres.
