SubLab XL Crossgrade from SubLab: Bass and Sub Synth by Future Audio Workshop

The effects section lets you mix and match up to four FX and rearrange them to shape a sound. Options include six distortion flavors, a waveshaper with sine and linear fold modes, a tape effect with hiss and wobble controls, a bitcrusher with decimation and bit mode, and a compressor with auto sidechain and mix amount controls.

The Super Oscillator layers saw, triangle or square waves to build supersaws, and it includes dry/wet mix, tune and detune controls for thickness, and width controls for stereo spread. Future Audio Workshop describes it as capable of both thick, buzzy supersaws and subtle moog-style bass.

The LFO section modulates up to two parameters at a time, with 18 routing options, sine, triangle, saw, square and noise waveforms, and rate control with BPM sync.

Two macro controls can each map up to 10 parameters. Every preset comes with parameters already assigned, and you can drag and drop to change them. The factory content includes nine bass packs, among them Reese Bass, Crushed, Pure Subs and Future 808s, plus over 300 samples recorded from hardware such as the Roland TR-808, Waldorf Blofeld and Dave Smith Tempest.
