01Overview

Fosfat is built around drums and percussion, though it can process any sound. The developer describes it as working almost like an EQ, except that it adds energy rather than cutting or boosting frequencies. A trigger lets you target a specific frequency range or transient, which makes it useful for whole drum kits and drum loop samples. Klevgrand also positions it for thin recordings that lack bass or attack, such as a kick drum that needs more weight.

Trigger, Oscillator and Noise Controls for Drum Shaping

The trigger frequency and width controls define which part of the signal Fosfat reacts to. Multiple audio visualizations help you set the trigger accurately, so you can isolate a kick, a snare or a specific transient in a drum loop.

Once triggered, a sine wave oscillator adds sub weight, with an optional pitch drop for kick-style punch. A separate noise generator adds bite and high-frequency texture, with adjustable stereo width and attack and release controls to shape its envelope.

Low cut and high cut filters let you keep the added content in the range you want, and four instances of volume control give you separate level balancing for each part of the sound.

Who Fosfat Is For and How to Start

Fosfat suits producers who want to reinforce drums without swapping samples. Using several instances across drum tracks is the obvious approach, while the trigger makes it practical to enhance one element of a full kit or a drum loop.

Fosfat is available in VST2, AU and AAX formats for Windows and macOS. A preset collection is included, so you can start from a working sound and adjust the controls from there.
