Game-changing features

Phoscyon is a vintage analog-modeled Bassline synthesizer with our unique low pass filter: an 18db/oct dumping and constant resonance amplitude throughout the entire frequency domain. The filter sounds phenomenal! One squelch of this sucker and you’ll swear its analog! We’ve also equipped it with a fully customizable, integrated arpeggiator (a must in EDM) as well as a crucial distortion effect, exhaustively modeled for those screaming acid bass lines! Check the media section for some audio samples, or better yet immerse yourself with a demo!
