TB Lowtone

What it does

A bass synth with three voltage controlled oscillators, a separate noise oscillator with a burst control for grit, and a filter offering several slopes plus dual and quad Q options, a drive stage and a supercharge switch that sharpens the resonant peak. Almost any knob opens a routing menu when held, sending it to either LFO, the amp envelope or a drawable gate. Chorus, reverb and a ping pong delay are built in, each with its own filtering, and there is unison with spread, note tracking and a limiter.

In the demo

Jade works from the default patch in standalone, turning on each oscillator in turn, then routes pan and cutoff to an LFO and draws gate steps to get the pulsing patches she likes. She compares the standalone and AUv3 layouts and runs the factory categories.

Worth knowing

The AUv3 shows fewer oscillators on screen than the standalone, and patches run loud with everything at zero.
