Why use it
What it doesA monophonic bass synth built around a ladder filter.
Reach for it whenSub bass that needs to move. Lead lines that need to cut.
What makes it differentThe filter envelope discharges like an RC network, which is what gives the low end its snap instead of a flat sweep.
A monophonic bass synth built around a ladder filter, tuned against measurements of a reference ladder-filter monosynth rather than a textbook formula.
The filter envelope discharges like an RC network, which is what gives the low end its snap instead of a flat sweep.

WHAT'S NEW IN 1.6.2
· Overlapping MIDI notes on the same key no longer cut each other off — the first note-off used to release both voices.
· Fixed a crash that could bring the host down: closing the plug-in window and then removing the plug-in left a timer running on freed data.
· Licence activation fixed: a bundle key now counts one activation per computer instead of one per plug-in, so one key covers five machines as stated.
· Rebuilt, re-signed and notarized for macOS (Universal) and Windows.
REGISTRATION
· The plug-in runs unrestricted for a 7-day trial from first launch, counted separately for each plugin.
· Your licence key is on your Gumroad receipt and download page.
· Paste it into the plug-in once — it needs internet that one time, then works offline.
· Message me on Gumroad if you need it reset for a new machine.
