Product information

This product is an expansion for Softube Modular. If you do not currently own Modular, you can purchase it HERE.

Softube intelijel Rubicon at Plugin Boutique

The thru-zero frequency modulation of Rubicon is ideal for experimenting with FM synthesis. Rubicon is an analog VCO design masterpiece, originially created by Dave Dixon with Intellijel. It is a unique Eurorack module, now offered as an add-on module for Modular.

Please Note:

MODULAR (cross-platform modular synthesizer) is required to run this software!

Features:

High precision emulated Triangle core
Switchable linear and (for the first time in any module) exponential TZFM (through-zero FM)
Linear index VCA for dynamic control of TZFM depth
Symmetry control (full clockwise is normal, full counter-clockwise gives reversed waveforms, centered the VCO is at 0 Hz) with CV
12 primary waveform types: sine, sigmoid, double sigmoid, triangle, saw, double saw, zigzag, square, pulse (center modulated), pulse (edge modulated), double pulse
Suboctave circuit with -1 and -2 octaves. The suboctave output is affected by fm just like the main signals
Soft sync (also known as reversing sync) with attenuator
Hard sync with selectable reset direction (determines if the triangle starts moving up or down after a reset, very useful in LFO mode)
Pulse-width modulation and exponential FM with dedicated attenuators
Requires Modular

System Requirements

macOS Big Sur 11, Monterey 12, Ventura 13
Windows 10 (64-bit), Windows 11
Softube account
iLok account
Computer with AU, VST, VST3, and/or AAX-compatible DAW host software
Internet access (for downloading installers and managing licenses)

Supported CPU Families

Apple macOS computers with Intel Core i3/i5/i7 or Apple silicon (M1 or newer) CPU. Apple silicon is supported natively.
Windows computers with quad-core Intel Core i3/i5/i7 or AMD quad-core processors with SSE 4.2 support.
Other Intel processors (Celeron, Pentium, and Xeon) are compatible if they support SSE 4.2 instructions.

Supported Host Software (DAW)

Any 64-bit VST, VST3, AU, or AAX (Pro Tools 11.0.2 or higher) compatible host application should work. However, due to plug-in host differences between DAWs—and our rigorous standards—Softube only officially test their plug-ins and instruments in the most recent versions of Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Cubase, Ableton Live, Studio One, and Reaper. Softube plug-ins are not tested regularly in non-listed systems. They will likely work if the system requirements are met. However, the manufacturer cannot guarantee a solution for issues in unsupported systems.

Softube strongly recommend using VST3, as some of their plug-ins have features that are not present in the older VST format. Supported sample rates: 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, and 192 kHz, in both mono and stereo. The most recent maintenance release of your DAW application is recommended. AAX DSP is not currently in active development. TDM/VENUE/RTAS are no longer supported. See Legacy Installers.

Softube Modular is required to run this software.
Make sure that you always use the latest iLok License Manager. It is not included in the Softube installer but can be downloaded from www.ilok.com

Testimonials

John Tejada

"Thru-zero frequency modulation is fantastic and being able to take multiple Rubicon's with me on the go with Modular is amazing. Having the same hardware module and sound that I'm used to working with in Modular is a real dsp game changer for me and my workflow."

Daniel van Tijn

"Very impressive! I was making quite complex patches with modules cross modulating each other and the results were very close to what I get on my real hardware."

Fredrik Mjelle a k a Beem

"Rubicon and µFold are lovely combined, together they make a great complex oscillator. Super flexible in timbre and easy to work with. The sound sucks you in, with a lot of depth and presence"
