Smackbox V2 was built to solve a specific problem: getting punchy, mix-ready drums without layering five different plugins.

At its core is a hybrid engine that blends mathematical precision with sonic grit. The oscillator section handles the body and punch using custom-modeled waveforms (Sine, Triangle, Saw, Square, and TRH), or if you will, load a sample instead for those sounds that aren't easily synthesized.

The noise section has it's own envelope and can modulate the oscillator / sample player using FM to create pitched, yet noisy sounds.

Designed for speed and performance, Smackbox V2 features an ultra-low CPU architecture, allowing you to run 20+ instances in a project without glitching. The fully resizable, vector-based UI provides real-time visual feedback—including animated envelopes that let you see exactly how your sound is shaping over time.

Key Features:

  • Hybrid Engine: 12 fully synthesized drum voices with an optional lo-fi sample layer for added texture.
  • Visual Design: Real-time animated envelopes (Amp, Pitch, Noise) and interactive filter/EQ graphs.
  • Ultra-Low CPU: Highly optimized C++ codebase for efficient performance on all systems.
  • Flexible Routing: Route any sound to one of 3 separate stereo outputs for individual processing.
  • Analog Shaping: Per-voice State Variable Filter (LP/BP/HP/BR), Drive/Distortion, and Parametric EQ.
  • Workflow: Mute/Solo per pad, Choke Groups for realistic hi-hats, and "Edit vs Trigger" pad selection.
  • Cross-Platform: Available for Mac, Windows, and Linux in VST3, AU, CLAP, and Standalone formats.

A free, unlimited-time demo is available (injects silence every 3 minutes).
