Abx3 is a Bass Line Synthesizer capabable of producing TB-303 acid sound sequences, it's the successor of AcidBox.

Features:

4 modes:

  • Host sync: step note sequencer is sync to DAW/Host.
  • Internal: step note sequencer is independant.
  • MIDI in: Abx3 acts like any classic VA synth: it reacts to MIDI note on its input.
  • ARP: Abx3 plays its step note sequence, shifted by the MIDI in note pitch.

Synth part:

  • Oscillator with 32 waveforms to choose from + sub bass oscillator.
  • LP Filter with high resonance for recreating "that Acid sound".

FX part:
8 distortions with different character to choose:

  • Overdrive.
  • Hard Clipping.
  • Valve emulation.
  • Hard Drive.
  • "BitCrusher".
  • Fuzz distorsion.
  • Clipper + Filter.
  • Sinus remapper.

Delay with ping/pong mode, free or sync to host tempo, LP/HP filter in feedback path.

FX rack with 3 slots and 7 FX to choose from:

  • Reverb.
  • Echo/Reverb.
  • Digital Reverb.
  • Stereo Chorus.
  • Mono Chorus.
  • 4 Band Fuzz Distorsion.
  • Flanger.

Step note sequencer part:

  • Up to 64 steps with note / slide / accent + fine tune /micro time / pan for each step.
  • 32 different patterns with independant number of steps per pattern (from 1 to 64).
  • Global gate / groove parameter.
  • Speed parameter (from 8 time slower to 4 time faster, with 2 ternary modes).
  • Independant/global parameters mode:
    - independant parameters per pattern.
    or
    - all patterns share the sames parameters.
  • Independant/global step modulation sequence:
    - independant param modulation sequences per pattern.
    or
    - global param modulation sequences for all patterns.
  • Edit note sequence from the UI or use MIDI in inputs in real time to insert notes in the sequencer (use pitch bend up/down for slide, velocity beyond threshold insert accent).
  • Use low MIDI notes (1-32) to trigger patterns.
  • 4 pattern trigger mode sync to choose from: free, step, bar, auto.
  • Import/export/copy/paste/randomize patterns + export MIDI file from sequence.
  • Parameter modulation part:
  • Independant sequenced modulations for synth param: record or draw sequences of step modulations.
  • 32 looped step modulation sequences with independant speed (from 16 time slower to 2 time faster).
  • Parameters you can sequence:
    cutoff.
    resonance.
    filter envelope.
    filter decay.
    accent.
    gate.
    sub oscillator level.
    drive level.
    delay time / volume / feedback.
    waveform selection.
    note sequencer speed.

Randomizer part:

  • 22 scales.
  • Customizable, choose/exclude the parts you want to random: note, slide, accent, parameters, distortion, waveform and more.

Graphic part:

  • Resizable UI (100% 125% 150% or 200%).
  • 5 different UI "skins".

MIDI Out: Abx3 outputs MIDI notes from the step note sequencer (VST/VST3/AAX/Standalone).

You can tell ABX3 was built by people who know what a dancefloor wants.
It's tight, aggressive, and totally controllable — perfect for peak-time acid techno, it's 1993 again.
CPU usage is shockingly low, even with multiple instances.
This is what plugin synergy looks like — beautifully nerdy, brutally effective.
