The acid engine
The classic acid voice: a squelchy resonant filter, accent and slide. The Source panel adds saw, square or your own wavetable, with Morph, Sub and Tune.
Saw, square or your own wavetable
Hear it.
Presets by OXIV and friends, the same line on every one. Straight out of the plugin, no layers. One plays at a time.

Not an emulation. An evolution.
We kept the soul of the 303 and built what it never had: a second voice, a low end that holds still, and a sequencer that thinks in key.
Everything inside.
Three engines, a smart sequencer and a whole modulation system. Flip through the cards.
Ladder
A fat four-pole ladder engine with three oscillators, glide and drift, and its own filter and amp envelopes.
3 oscillators
FANG
A wavetable bass engine for psytrance, techno and mid-bass growls. Two wavetable oscillators, warp, sub, noise, knock, Punch and multiband post drive. Load your own wavetables.
30 filter types, 6 built-in tables
FANG, opened up
The second oscillator, unison, envelopes, knock, noise and the filter, all in one window. Up to four unison voices, and the lows stay mono.
Up to 4 unison voices, mono lows
Tone, Bass Mode, Distortion
Tone adds harmonics above a split, so the low end stays clean. Bass Mode steadies the lows with Tight, Sub, Weight, Duck and mono below a frequency. Then a rack of distortion pedals.
10 distortion types, 3 Clarity modes
Line: the smart AI sequencer
64 steps with accent, slide and length lanes. The smart AI sequencer suggests lines in your style and scale, Variations turns a line into musical variations, and a library of lines is built in.
64 steps, 6 styles, 17 scales, 146 built-in lines
ARP
An arpeggiator with eight note orders, a musical random walk among them, and six lanes of different lengths. Change chords and it keeps going. Print writes it into the sequencer.
8 orders, 6 lanes, up to 16 steps a lane
Four LFOs
Draw your own shapes, or pick sample and hold, sample and glide or drunk random. Sync to the beat or run free. Drag one onto any knob and a coloured ring shows it moving.
4 LFOs, 9 shapes, 8 destinations each
Chance
A smart sample and hold, locked to the steps of the line. It remembers what it did, it can lock a step, and its moves land in time with the music.
Step-locked
Three envelopes
Delay, attack, hold, decay, sustain and release, with a curve you can bend on every segment. Drag one onto a knob, just like the LFOs.
3 envelopes
The Matrix
Every modulation connection on one page: amount, one way or both ways, curve, an aux source like velocity or the mod wheel, and live meters. Or set the depth by dragging the ring around a knob.
56 connection slots
Motion, Echo, Space
Chorus, phaser and flanger, a tape-style echo, and the Space reverb: Plate, Hall, Spring and Cosmic, with ducking, synced pre-delay feedback and Freeze.
4 reverb types, oversampling up to 8xSwipe the card, or tap it
Built on 400 real notes.
A circuit-level acid engine, tuned against 400 notes recorded from real vintage hardware. Six calibrated units, from the clean factory voice to a growling custom box.
cutoff 30 Hz
One click. Two machines.
Switch to a classic 70s ladder voice: three oscillators, a hot mixer and a 24 dB filter that sings. Your pattern, effects and modulation stay.
Bass that holds still.
Bass Mode fixes the low end the way a producer would. Every note at the same level, the boom tamed. Magic evens the whole line out; the 2nd Harmonic adds the octave for phones, or takes it away for the club.
Default line
Truth
Joy
Off by default. Off leaves the sound untouched.
Smart AI sequencer.
Learned from real psy, acid and techno lines. Six styles, 17 scales, four ideas at a time, and every note stays in key. Drag the line straight into your DAW as MIDI.
Keys to Scale
Play the keyboard and every note lands in the scale. No wrong notes.
Key Start
The line starts from the key you press.
146 acid lines
Ready to play, searchable by style and scale. Or send the line out to another synth.
Our filters.
FANG now has 30 filter types, 10 of them new. Start with the band-passes, the squelch techno and psy producers reach for. The same line on each, the cutoff sweeping slowly.
Plus clean and analog low-passes, and low cut at 12, 18 or 24 dB.
What no other acid synth has.
VOWELS: the line talksA vowel on every step, A E I O U. The filter speaks the line, and the Smart AI sequencer suggests the vowel phrase.
Solo Noise
A noise layer through the filter and the envelopes. Solo it, and the noise alone plays the line.
ARP with lanes
Gate, accent, slide, octave, degree and ratchet lanes of different lengths, drifting against each other. Print the result into the sequencer.
The details.
For when you want to know exactly what is inside. Tap a heading to open it.
Ten distortions. Clean lows.
From a classic pedal to metal amps.
Harmonics keep the low end clean, and Clarity cuts through the mix.
Wide on top. Mono below.
The new Stereoizer in the output adds width that never touches the mono sum. The kick and the sub stay in the centre, where the club needs them.
StereoizerThree modes: Spread, Time and Harmonic. Harmonic follows the note you play, odd harmonics lean left, even ones right. Below 120 Hz it all stays mono. Width up to 150%, with a mono check.
Res+Push the acid resonance past the edge into self-oscillation, like a modded unit. Switch it off and it is the classic voice, bit for bit.
Club-ready lowsChorus, phaser and flanger keep the bass dry and mono below 150 Hz. The sub locks in phase to every note, and Declick removes clicks without softening the attack.
Cleaner everywhere: 4x oversampling on the output, and anti-aliased folding and overdrive.
Movement that stays in key.
ChanceA smart sample and hold with memory and locks. Even its pitch moves stay in key.
LFOSynced to the tempo, on cutoff, resonance, decay, drive and more.
EffectsChorus, phaser and flanger together. A multi-head tape echo. Plate, hall and spring.
