KVR Audio

Dubtron2 is the successor to the original Dubtron bass synth, taking it's modulation-based concept into new territory, exploring quirky analogue basses, modern rhythmic soundscapes, chilly dub techno and experimental ambient textures. Dubtron2 uses beat-driven modulation and sub-rhythms along with randomization to bring about interesting rhythmic sounds and atmospheres. This along with it's serial filter system, a feedback-looping dub delay and a "Phonec-style" Melt feature makes Dubtron2 a extremely versatile instrument with a unique approach to sonic exploration. Here is a brief overview of it's key features:

Dual oscillators with Unison and Pulse Width
Sub oscillator with FM capabilities
Dual Filter system with serial routing
Soft clipping / Distortion
A unique Melt feature that adds instant character to any patch
3 Polyphonic LFOs with BPM 'speed dials' and randomization
Sub LFOs for creating parallel rhythm offsets
3 assignable Modulation Envelopes
Dub Delay Unit with feedback looping
Multiple targets for modweheel and pitchbender
Universal Value Display
Double Click Parameter Reset
128 presets

Dubtron2 is available for $39 as a Windows 32-bit VST plugin.

Static settings on the melt?

Not necessarily a deal-breaker, but just wondering as I like the option to fiddle with the settings on Phonec...

Will be demoing this tonight either way!

Yeah, since Melt isn't a main feature, it's just one knob, but I think it's the perfect balance of imperfection. It is a different Melt sound compared to Phonec also. It does destabilize the pitch, but you also get subtle jumps in distortion with some slight filter movements as well. I think you'll like the sound of it.

The demo sounds very good, reminds me of the soundtracks of old 1970's b-movies.

Great sounding demo track.

Always interesting to see what you manage to get out of SE

Compare that to the bland stuff many programmers produce

But I am not sure I will get this one, I already have Phonec and Construct and don't think this one offers something new I need, I guess I am not experimental enough for it

The sound as such seems very much like Phonec's...
Then again, I will test it anyway because of the double filter and unison, want to hear how that sounds

How many instanced did you use for the demo?

The buttons look a bit odd, as if they were cut off at the bottom.

Having fun with it. Bought.

Definitely more than a dub wobble gizmo, as I'm not interested in that so wouldn't have bothered if it was. Feels more like dubphonec to me (possibly due to the consistent gui)

Is that intro price, or the regular price?

I don´t do this very often but I have to say that the demo sounds really really nice.

I've shared the news on my blog: http://microloops.blogspot.ca/2014/03/p ... tron2.html

It's on my buy list as it's spot on the kind of sound I'm interested in these days. I'm into old b-movies soundtracks from the '70 and early '80.

Thanks!

I'm sure Dubtron2 will fit that sound quite nicely

GUI design is an avenue I plan to pursue.
