Enhance your tracks with 24 studio-quality effects, including compressors, reverbs, filters, and creative effects like Freq Shifter and Grain Delay. Perform with Stutter, Burst Echo, and other effects via the Smart Strip.

Lock Button for Instant Control

Freeze your track’s parameter settings with the Lock button, giving you the freedom to experiment with new ideas and instantly return to your original settings.

Bass and Drum Synths

Create custom kicks, snares, and bass tones with Drum Synth and Bass Synth. These exclusive tools bring even more depth to your beats.
