Phoscyon 2
The Last 303 You Will Ever Need
Phoscyon 2 is the definitive 303 emulation with a super-convenient sequencer to immediately get your creative juices flowing.
Re-Designed Emulation, Now Perfect In Every Detail
Emulation of the legendary 303 "silver box” has been taken to entirely new heights. D16 have taken their critically acclaimed and successful Phoscyon 1 and completely re-designed the signal path. Now, they’ve achieved an unprecedented level of emulation accuracy, resulting in this new incarnation of the plug-in.
Not Just One, But Every 303… Under Your Fingertips
Sometimes, you might wonder why your 303 unit doesn't have as low a cutoff as you can hear on one of your favorite tracks…
Diehard 303 fans know every 303 has a distinctive character, and now you can replicate that using Phoscyon 2’s Calibration Parameters. Not only do you have easy access to the familiar synthesis knobs, but you also get a backstage pass to the inner workings of the synth; D16 have included the service trim pots, originally designed for calibration, and some tweaks even owners of original the silver box couldn’t have dreamt of.
In short, it’s a gateway to an entirely new dimension of control and musical expression…

Drumazon 2
Drumazon synthesis emulates all the sounds of the original 909
You get the classic sound, but with extras that will surely meet expectations – both for purists and producers after a modern punchy attitude.
The 11 Drum Sounds That Have Shaped Electronic Dance Music
Drumazon emulates all the sounds of the original 909, matching each individual instrument with meticulous accuracy.
A Dedicated Channel Strip for Every Drum Sound
With EQ and compression per instrument, you can quickly perfect the original 909 sound. We’ve also included factory presets for each instrument to put together a great sounding kit without any fuss.
Two Bus Effect Chains With Lots of Different Algorithms
Get the exact sound; add grit with a bitcrusher or distortion, control space with reverb or delay, and fattenyour sound with chorus; mix everything together nicely using dynamics and EQ algorithms. All these can be also used creatively with the addition of a filter - the possibilities are endless.
Final Touches Are So Crucial
A capable master section will give the final punch to your drum line with a 3-band compressor to glueeverything together and a limiter to control and add power to the output. Ready-to-use master presets can get the desired results ASAP.
Trigger Outs
The original machines featured analog trigger outputs to control external gear using the internal sequencer. Producers often used this output musically, adding a trademark short pulse sound that became
a hallmark of electro music, a sound you can get with Drumazon too.
