v1.0.0 — 2026-11-11

• Initial release
• 808 and sub-bass designer: more weight, grit and punch, a tight mono low end, and room for the kick
• CHARACTER: four kinds of drive — TAPE (warm, round), 12-BIT (gritty, aliased), TUBE (thick, even), CLIP (hard, loud)
• SUB: boosts the 808's fundamental, then adds upper harmonics so it still comes through on phones and laptops; follows the notes, glides included
• DRIVE: level-matched, so turning it up adds grit, not just volume
• PUNCH: brings out the hit of each note and holds the tail steady
• TIGHT: raises the low cut from 20 to 45 Hz and tames boomy low mids
• MONO BELOW: makes everything below 80, 120 or 200 Hz mono
• DUCK: put your kick on the sidechain and the 808 dips each time it hits (OFF / LIGHT / HEAVY)
• RATTLE: the buzz of a trunk lid and panels shaken by a loud sub, with an amount slider; loud notes rattle, quiet ones don't
• CAR CHECK: hear your track as if in a car — for listening only, never saved and never in your bounce
• Live low-end display: the 808's note in Hz, the low cut and the mono point
• Built-in limiter keeps the biggest sub peaks under 0 dBFS
• 24 factory presets, plus your own (save, rename, delete)
• macOS: VST3 and AU — Intel & Apple Silicon. Windows: VST3
