About Phoscyon 2
Phoscyon 2 is D16 Group's second-generation emulation of the Roland TB-303 — the machine behind acid house and acid techno. D16's first Phoscyon established the company's approach: component-level modelling of the 303's single-oscillator voice, its resonant 18 dB/octave low-pass filter, and its slide and accent behaviours, rather than a waveform approximation. The accent circuit in particular is what gives a 303 its bite, and it is the element most often missed in simpler emulations.
Version 2 expands the instrument well beyond the hardware's limits. Additions documented across the line include an expanded sequencer with more steps than the original's 16, an enhanced distortion section with multiple models, additional modulation options including an LFO and envelope routing, a built-in effects chain, and pattern management with export and MIDI drag-and-drop. D16's product approach is visible in sibling releases: PunchBox 2 was crafted in collaboration with D16 Group, Sounds of Revolution, and CFA-Sound, offering a powerful multistage envelope system that lets you shape parameters over time with surgical precision, with waveform overlays for visualisation. It suits acid house, acid techno, psytrance, electro, and experimental electronic production, and remains one of the defining bassline tools in those genres. It runs on macOS and Windows in VST2, VST3, AU, and AAX formats. A demo version is typically available. Confirm the sequencer length, distortion models, and preset count on the D16 product page, since version 2 significantly expands the original's feature set.
