D16 PHOSCYON VST FREE DOWNLOAD

The arpeggiator is fairly sophisticated, and offers a selection of patterns, tempos and chords, including some user-defined ones. Again these are non-essential functions when you're using Phoscyon with a sequencer, but they make jamming new parts easy and are ideal for the live performer. The final two additions to the classic line-up are the built-in arpeggiator and distortion units. Interesting new bells and whistles. Much of the 's individual style comes from its built-in measure step sequencer.

The distortion unit has six knobs and getting a decent sound requires more tweaking than ReBirth's equivalent, but the extra controls make it more flexible and a variety of suitably crunchy noises can be gleaned from it.

Acid-imitation aside, it's a fun synth with a mighty big sound that simply begs to be tweaked and then tweaked some more. Anyone who's used ReBirth, or indeed a real TB, will feel right at home, although those unfamiliar with the intricacies of its step sequencer might feel a little lost at first. While this synth is by no means groundbreaking, it does offer plenty of bells and whistles, and the distortion and arpeggiator will endear it to the hard dance scene in particular.

Despite the manual's shortcomings, this kind of thing isn't exactly rocket science and it's not too hard to get the synth making some nice noises.

Image 1 of 2 Phoscyon uses and interesting photo-real GUI. There's also a ohoscyon note mode that repeats each note of the sequence a certain number of times, and an octave selector that lets you turn up to four octaves on or off - a nice touch.

Notes are accented by giving them a velocity overand starting a new note before the last one has finished will cause Phoscyon to slide between the two values. Most clones have a hard time with synth purists who are never quite satisfied with the quality of software copies, and it's unlikely that this attempt will convert them.

These all work as you'd imagine, and techno-heads will appreciate the extra noodling possibilities, though there's nothing spectacularly unexpected on offer. If that's what you want, get it. As well the internal sequencer, Phoscyon allows users to enter notes via MIDI from the host program, which is well done.

Phoscyn has its own step sequencer that has the same features, including some clever new tricks including a row of LEDs across the bottom of the sequencer's interface that indicate what measure is currently being edited. It remains pretty true to the original hardware; you're limited to square or saw waves, and there's a single filter with the 's characteristic 18dB low-pass response. Fans of the Roland TB's distinctive tones are spoilt for choice on the software emulation front.

Cons Not exactly groundbreaking. This phosxyon much clearer than the usual digital display, and as such it's a welcome addition.

D16 Phoscyon review

Our Verdict A TB and then some. There are plenty of new knobs to go round though, including envelope attack time, slide time, envelope accent level, and accent attack and decay times.

Despite the crowded market, Polish newcomers D16 Group have seen fit to debut with Phoscyon, a curiously named TB clone with a few tricks up its phiscyon. The manual is a little confusing on this function, but it's actually a type of filter used for bypassing accent, glide and gate values. The good news is that it works really well and integrates especially well with the external sequencer. The patterns from the built-in step sequencer can be triggered in from the host sequencer via MIDI notes.

It might not have an enormous amount of range, but it's great at what it does and is extremely reasonably priced.

Not particularly exciting, but potentially useful for live work. Despite the large number of new knobs and switches the interface is pretty clear, and everything is logically laid out.

The arpeggiator is fairly sophisticated, and offers a selection of patterns, tempos and chords, including some user-defined ones. Pros Decent clone. Other new sequencer features include the ability to pitch notes up two octaves instead of just the usual one, and the rather mysterious Threshold control. Phoscyon definitely offers a lot over the standard clone, and at the price it's the most attractive proposition in the field.

Unfortunately Phoscyon's manual is rather poorly written, though it does at least feature a short but informative quick start section. One can acquire the original ReBirth for free via its sinister online mausoleumand there are dozens of other versions available, including Audiorealism's elaborate mutation, Bass Line Pro.

Definitely worth a fiddle. Interesting new bells and whistles.

The final two additions to the classic line-up are the built-in arpeggiator and distortion units. However, if you're not intimately familiar with the original hardware it's most likely that you'll find Phoscyon convincing enough.
