01Overview

AcidBox V2 is built around the bass line synthesizer sound of the 1980s, rebuilt with an interface aimed at live use. Audio Blast designed it for creating sequences on the fly and adjusting them during a performance. The developer says the plugin draws on the acid sound associated with Techno and House producers, and it can import and export sequences, patterns and banks in several formats.

Sequencing and Sync Options for Live Acid Bass

AcidBox V2 offers four synchronization modes: host sync, internal sync, MIDI in and Arp. Up to 32 patterns can be stored, which makes it practical to build and switch between bass lines during a set.

The built-in sequencer supports on-the-fly MIDI in recording, so you can play parts in as you go rather than entering every step by hand. Audio Blast describes the sequencer as a tool for real-time creation, and the import and export options let you move sequences, patterns and banks between sessions.

Distortion and Delay Processing

The plugin includes five distortion units for adding grit and drive to the bass sound. A single delay unit offers synced and ping pong modes, so repeats can lock to your project tempo or bounce between the stereo channels.

These effects sit alongside the core synth engine, giving you sound shaping without loading separate processors into your chain.
