Monophonic Bass Synthesizer For iOS

US Numerical releases Agonizer, designed in collaboration with haQ attaQ      12/11/20

Numerical Audio has released Agonizer, a monophonic bass synthesizer for iOS. They say that, designed in close collaboration with YouTuber and synth bass expert Jakob Haq of haQ attaQ, Agonizer puts a focus on delivering deep and dirty bass sounds ranging from classic drum n bass inspired sounds all the way to heavily modulated modern sounds. Here's the full details direct from Numerical Audio...

Built around a pair of wavetable oscillators complete with 40+ wavetables, the ability to morph between waveforms as well as cross modulation between the two oscillators, Agonizer has a wide range of timbres on offer. In addition, a dedicated "Mangle" section including pre-filter drive, bit crush, lift and push controls to allow for further sound sculpting before a virtual analog ladder filter takes over to tame the sound in a musically pleasing way.

In terms of modulation, Agonizer comes with a highly tweak-able sequenced modulator dubbed the "wobulator" allowing for quick and easy creation of rhythmically modulated bass and lead lines. In addition, there is one key and tempo sync-able LFO as well as a standard ADSR and one variable slope AD envelope.

Modulation can be applied to almost anything simply by long pressing a control and dialling in the desired amount for one or more of the 12 available modulation sources.

Last but not least, Agonizer includes a stereo chorus and delay, both being voiced in a way that accentuates bass sounds without turning things into a muddy mess.

Of course Agonizer supports the Audio Unit V3 standard making it possible to load multiple instances into any DAW that supports AUv3. In addition, Audiobus 3, Inter-App Audio, USB Audio/MIDI, Bluetooth MIDI and Ableton Link are all supported as well making Agonizer a perfect fit for almost any setup.
