Phoscyon 2 - AcidLine

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 twonote 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.

STATE-OF-THE-ART FX CHAIN

Every good 303 sound has a well-suited effects chain and, with Phoscyon 2, you can find a whole bunch of algorithms with acidic squeaks in mind.

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:

• Algorithmic reverb with independent settings for both early and late reflections
• 4-band parametric EQ
• Delay with tempo sync option and in-loop multi-mode filter
• Chorus with two delay lines
• Limiter with compression characteristics: controllable knee, ratio, threshold and envelope

An entirely re-designed sequencer / arpeggiator makes the plug-in even more appealing. Edit patterns with ease and convenience, play them live in a loop and switch between them in whatever way you find most convenient – using a mouse, a MIDI controller or DAW MIDI notes to express your musical ideas.

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.

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.

LIVE OVERRIDE

Give life to your patterns by influencing Accent, Slide or Vibrato while playing.

Once you’ve got the perfect pattern, you can seamlessly import it into your favorite DAW by simply
drag-and-dropping it.

A VARIETY OF TRIGGER MODES

Use a pattern trigger mode that suits you: MIDI notes, MIDI CC or GUI.

ARPEGGIATE

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.
