What SubBoomBass 2 does
The developer describes the instrument as a successor to the original SubBoomBass, with a redesigned top section and a reworked oscillator, filter and sequencer interface. Its analogue-modelled waveform board is kept, and all original SubBoomBass presets are included, while a large number of new presets is added. A resizable interface offers 100%, 125%, 150% and 200% scaling, and a global menu in the upper right corner holds the update check.
The new sequencer adds ratcheting and a pattern mode that runs four sequences, and an X/Y screen is included. Filter section gains zero-latency filter types and a post-filter distortion mode, alongside ring modulation, clipper, tremolo and vibrato effects.
