A synth for industrial-strength bass sounds that goes far beyond classic 808 basses with two wavetable engines and an additional sample engine.

Each of Sub Factory’s two wavetable engines offers hundreds of waves, from classic analogue and edgy digital to quirky hybrid shapes, and every wave has 127 index points for fine adjustment. A third, sample-based engine provides kicks, 808 loops, one-shots plus noise and FX samples, with sample start, delay, reverse, pitch and filter. Filters, dedicated pitch controls, amp and filter envelopes, a mod section with a wide range of targets, unison, spread and width, plus ring mod, chorus, drive and EQ effects shape the right bass for hip-hop, R and B, drum and bass or pop. Alongside an extensive preset library as a starting point, Sub Factory also runs on Akai MPC and Force standalone systems according to AIR.
