The D16 Group Phoscyon offers an unmatched sound together with advanced features such as a state of the art Distortion unit; fully user configurable BPM sync'd Arpeggiator and Randomizer; a unique Play Live mode; vintage arrangement and pattern builder, full MIDI CC support and, to top it off, the most authentic 18db/oct low pass filter ever created! Diehard fans of the original Bass Line will be blown away with Phoscyon's uncanny emulation of the classic but will also marvel at the ease with which new sounds can be crafted; sounds which were not possible on the original. Phoscyon gives you access authentic vintage sounds at a fraction of the cost of the real thing. With the familiar Bass Line interface coupled with the added sound generation tools, the folks at D16 Group feel that Phoscyon is quite simply in a class of its own.

Phoscyon's designers are also musicians who believe that in order for electronic music to stay relevant, it needs to evolve just like any other genre. D16's approach is to give forward-thinking musicians and producers the tools they need to craft the sounds they want. Whether it's Techno, Acid, Triphop, IDM, D&B, Ambient, or any other kind of genre-bending music, Phoscyon will take your sound further.

Phoscyon is a vintage analog modeled Bassline synthesizer with D16's unique low pass filter: an 18db/oct dumping and constant resonance amplitude throughout the entire frequency domain. The filter sounds phenomenal! One squelch of this sucker and you'll… read more swear its analog! D16 also equipped it with a fully customizable, integrated arpeggiator (a must in EDM) as well as a crucial distortion effect, exhaustively modeled for those screaming acid basslines! Check the media section for some audio samples.
