Dub Techno 12-bit Sampler & Tape Delay. Combines a tape delay and lo-fi effects with spatial delays and asymmetrical saturation.
- 12-Bit Prophet Engine: Authentic vintage quantization with variable clock rates (44.1kHz down to 6kHz) for classic aliasing.
- Tuned Looping: Advanced sampler logic that forces audio segments to cycle at MIDI-responsive frequencies.
- Dub Filter: 4-pole (24dB/oct) State Variable Filter with asymmetrical saturation for analog warmth.
- Space Echo: Multi-tap delay with non-linear feedback for sound design.
- 8 Curated Dub Techno Presets: Instantly recall classic deep and dub techno sounds.
- Live Output Recording: Capture your live performances.
- Teal Noir UI: High-contrast, industrial dark mode interface optimized for precision and low-light focus.
- Zero Dependencies: Fully native macOS execution. No external libraries. No internet required.
- macOS: 14.0 (Sonoma), 15.0 (Sequoia) or 16.0 (Tahoe).
- Architecture: Intel, Arm64 (Silicon) & U2B (Universal).
- DAW: Ableton Live 11+, Ableton Live 12+, Logic Pro & Reason with BlackHole driver.

| Control | Description | Range |
|---|---|---|
| Bits | Reduces the bit depth of the audio, introducing digital quantization noise and crunch. | 2 to 16 Bits |
| Clock | Lowers the sample rate, creating aliasing and "ringing" artifacts typical of vintage samplers. | 10% to 100% |
| Control | Description | Range |
|---|---|---|
| Cutoff | Sets the frequency point where the filter begins to affect the audio. | 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz |
| Resonance | Emphasizes the frequencies right around the cutoff point, creating a peak or "ringing" sound. | 0.0 to 1.0 |
| Drive | Pushes the signal into soft-clipping distortion before it leaves the filter. Gain compensation is applied automatically. | 1x to 10x |
| Mode | Selects the filter type: Lowpass (LP), Bandpass (BP), Highpass (HP), or Notch (NOTCH). | Multi-state |
| Control | Description | Range |
|---|---|---|
| Repetitions | Sets the delay time between successive echo repeats. | 0.0s to 1.0s |
| Feedback | Controls how much of the delayed signal is fed back into the delay line, determining the number of repeating echoes. | 0.0 to 0.9 |
| Width (Wow) | Introduces a slow, randomized pitch fluctuation simulating the wow and flutter of a vintage analog tape delay. | 0.0 to 1.0 |
| Control | Description |
|---|---|
| Load | Opens a file dialog to select and load a new audio file (most standard audio formats are supported). |
| Presets | Dropdown menu featuring 8 authentic dub techno preset configurations. |
| Volume | Master output volume control dial. |
| Record | Start and stop live recording of the master output. |
| Play | Starts playback of the loaded sample. |
| Pause | Pauses playback at the current position. |
| Stop | Stops playback and returns the playhead to the beginning of the sample. |
| Waveform | Click and drag along the waveform panel to scrub / seek through the audio in real-time. |
