There’s also a fine gain knob for fine adjustments of ±5 dB, and an output level control. The voltage gain and fine gain controls are fully gain compensated.PREDD is available for macOS and Windows in VST, VST3 and AU formats.
Sample Science Deep Jupiter
Deep Jupiter is a bass sound module featuring samples of a famous 1980s synth – you can probably guess which one. The developer says that it works well for synthwave, chillwave, retrowave and synthpop, whatever the difference may be. You can choose from three voice modes (poly, mono and legato). There’s a volume envelope and assignable LFO for modulation, as well as a filter and a reverb effect. You can never have enough bass sounds, and if you’re looking for classic 80s vibes, this one is worth a try.
Deep Jupiter runs on macOS (El Capitan to Mojave; Catalina and up not supported) and Windows 8.1 or higher in VST and AU formats.
