Toybox has announced the release of a synthesizer plugin that has been designed with Toybox’s modular, ‘west-coast’ approach to circuit layout. Thump One comes with gritty oscillators, subtle cross-modulations and high-quality modeling giving the plugin its unique sound.
The synthesiser features two powerful engines that can be layered together for a variety of complex sounds and textures. The ‘Kick’ engine features a great sounding ‘wavetable’ oscillator, with a set of wavetables created from a selection of clean and processed analog kick drum sounds. The ‘Kick’ engine has a high quality saturation and filtering circuit plus an additional ‘Buzz’ circuit to add a buzzy ‘broken speaker cone’ effect.
The second engine, ‘Layer’ uses an accurate model of the ‘supersaw’ oscillator found in the Roland JP8000 synthesiser, this oscillator has a selection of operating ‘modes’ that configure the oscillator to play in intervals and adds various amounts of modulation to create noisy, retro synth sounds, fuzzy glitches or just plain noise.
The synth comes with a selection of 150 presets by professional sound designers, covering everything from thunderous sub bases to raucous acid leads.
Thump One is available to download in VST3 and AU plugin formats for Windows and macOS for free. The standalone iPad app and iOS AUv3 plugin version is $3.99 USD.
