What Phoscyon 2 does
The plugin sets out to reproduce the 303 signal path with a redesigned emulation that D16 describes as reaching a new level of accuracy compared with the earlier Phoscyon 1. The synthesis controls are the familiar 303 knobs, and the interface exposes parameters beyond the original hardware. A two-note vibrato is included: it works from two alternating notes rather than an oscillator, and the note sliding smooths the tremolo into the distinctive effect the developer describes. Phoscyon 2 reproduces the process with two knobs, so the effect can be set in a more direct way.
The insert effects can be reordered to change the final character, and the interface offers several GUI sizes to fit the DAW window. Substantial factory content is included, with over 800 presets and patterns, and MIDI Learn links almost any visible control to a MIDI controller.
Key features
- Effects chain with 19 distortion models. The chain offers a selection of 19 distinctive-sounding distortion models based on well-known hardware units, and distortion is named as the most important effect in the chain.
- Reorderable insert effects. The insert effects can be shuffled into a different order to produce extra flavors from the same sound.
- Factory content and presets. The factory library holds over 800 presets and patterns, and the developer presents the 303 sequencer as a way to start working immediately.
- MIDI Learn and re-sizable GUI. MIDI Learn can link almost any visible control to a MIDI controller, and several UI size options are offered to fit the screen of the host.
Use cases
- Bass line programming. The 303 sequencer and the factory patterns give a starting point for acid-style bass lines in a session.
- Live knob control. MIDI Learn lets the synth controls be mapped to a hardware controller for performance.
