Arp chord, which has 7 predefined chord types (Major, Minor, 7th, m7th, M7, m7-5, and Dim) and a custom mode which takes notes from your host.The arp section on Phoscyon features two large knobs: Something that the original TB-303 doesn’t have it an arpeggiator. In the video below I will run through a few presets so you can get an idea of the sounds of Phoscyon and the various synthesis controls are tweaked to demonstrate how they affect the sound. The default accurate mode has linear tuning across the scale, but if you set it to vintage or low battery mode you’ll get de-linearized tuning for some vintage detuned sound. D16 has even emulated some oscillator tuning modes. Phoscyon’s sound is generated by 2 oscillators with authentically emulated saw and square waveforms. The built-in preset manager can store presets in groups, a handy little feature to assist you in finding the sound you’re after with ease. Phoscyon can store up to 128 presets per bank, which you can of course save and load. Presets store information about the sound, arpeggiator, distortion, and volume parameters. Moving on to the next section we find the presets section. You can save your custom MIDI CC maps as well. Click the MIDI learn button, adjust a control on Phoscyon and on your controller and voila, all done. With the new MIDI learn system it’s dead simple to link Phoscyon’s parameters to your external controller. Phoscyon has 96 patterns which can be triggered by MIDI notes in Host mode great for performing live. When using the internal sequencer it can be synced to the internal clock -30-300 bpm, or to your host tempo. In the top of the screen you can set the sequencer mode to either internal or external (when internal LED is off). The interface shows that Phoscyon offers quite a number of additional features to the original TB-303. It also marks the first official release of an AudioUnit version. The long awaited (almost 2 years) version 1.8 update brings some new features like new shuffle/swing parameters, oscillator tuning settings, updated preset management and MIDI learn (similar to other D16 plug-ins), accent velocity level settings and lots more. Its first official release was in February 2006 and it received a few updates since then.
