Features

• Not just one, but every 303... under your fingertips
• - Sometimes, you might wonder why your 303 unit doesn't have as low a cutoff as you can hear on one of your favorite tracks...
• - Diehard 303 fans know every 303 has a distinctive character, and now you can replicate that using Phoscyon 2's Calibration Parameters. Not only do you have easy access to the familiar synthesis knobs, but you also get a backstage pass to the inner workings of the synth; we've included the service trim pots, originally designed for calibration, and some tweaks even owners of original the silver box couldn't have dreamt of.
• - In short, it's a gateway to an entirely new dimension of control and musical expression...
• Beyond the original
• - Besides the parameters you can find on the original 303, there are also a bunch of knobs that most of you know and love from popular mods and circuit bends within the 303 community.
• Vibrato novelty
• - You won't find this in even the most twisted 303 modifications out there... vibrato effect. Used only by a handful of 303 artists in their work, and achieved in a unique way. The original trick uses a two-note tremolo which is smoothed by note sliding, resulting in a distinctive 303-style vibrato. Phoscyon 2 replicates this process in a more intuitive fashion so you can achieve the sound with just two knobs.
• - The vibrato effect relies on two alternating notes rather than an oscillator, so the two-note spread decides vibrato range and the note duration dictates the speed.
• Arpeggiate to get more sophisticated and deliberate motives
• - It's not typical, boring styled arpeggiator with few travel modes that generate the obvious note runs that are completely unpredictable while playing.
• - You get an advanced tool where you can prepare a “template” of your riff that's a basis for more production-predictable sequences as the result.
• The distortion
• - Distortion is the most important effect in the chain. Our implementation contains a selection of 19 distinctive-sounding models, based on famous hardware units that are notorious with the most recognizable 303 artists.
• Reorderable insert effects
• - You can shuffle effect order with ease to get extra flavors and make great-sounding riffs out-of-the-box.
• Drag-and-drop export
• - Once you've got the perfect pattern, you can seamlessly import it into your favorite DAW by simply drag-and-dropping it.
• See where you are with one glance
• - Some hardcore 303 fans have learned to love the limitations of the original sequencer and now consider them part of their workflow. Others prefer a more modern approach to sequence editing.
• - To meet the needs of both types of people, Phoscyon 2 features two different modes to control the sequencer.
• Live override
• - Give life to your patterns by influencing Accent, Slide or Vibrato while playing.
• Music roulette
• - A new randomizer feature has been seamlessly integrated into the internal sequencer, allowing you to switch easily back and forth between randomizing a sequence and editing it.
• - You can decide which notes and step attributes are randomized with real-time density control for generated sequences.
• A variety of trigger modes
• - Use a pattern trigger mode that suits you: MIDI notes, MIDI CC or GUI.
• Over 800 presets and patterns in factory content
• Several UI sizes and HiDPI support for better screen fit
• MIDI Learn for easy controller assignment
