Arturia - Pure Sub v1.0.0 STANDALONE, VSTi, VSTi3, AAX for Windows

• 3-Layer Synthesis Engine: Discrete sound generation paths for Sub (fundamental), Harmonics (mid-range body), and Texture (top-end grit).
• Phase-Stable Sub Regen: Retains clean, rock-solid sub-bass fundamentals regardless of intense harmonic distortion or stereo modulation applied to upper layers.
• Dedicated Bass Modes: Tailored engines for 808s, rolling Reese basses, modern trap subs, neuro basses, and distorted analog growls.
• Over 40 Filter Topologies: Comprehensive filter section with independent per-layer routing and key-tracking modulation.
• Mastering Maximiser Section: Integrated Soft and Hard limiting modes paired with multi-band dynamics and dedicated bass tone equalizers.
• MPE & Microtuning Ready: Native MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE) support including Slide, plus full MTS-ESP microtuning integration.

Surgical Low-End Power and Textural Complexity
Arturia Pure SUB is engineered specifically to tackle the most demanding element of modern music production: low-end architecture. Rather than forcing producers to compromise between a clean sub foundation and aggressive upper-frequency grit, Pure SUB isolates the fundamental frequency from harmonic modulation, ensuring your bassline punches cleanly through club sound systems while dominating smaller consumer speakers.

From earth-shattering trap 808s and reese basses to distorted acid plucks and textured cinematic pulses, Pure SUB gives producers complete control over phase alignment, harmonic spread, and transient dynamics.

Modular FX and Deep Modulation Matrix
Equipped with a 12-slot FX rack boasting 18 studio-grade effects, custom function generators, step sequencers, and sidechain modulation routing, Pure SUB allows complex sonic evolution without causing phase cancellation or muddy low-frequency buildup.

Layer Architecture:

• Sub Section: Independent controls for level, phase, and pitch; features Sub Regen technology to preserve clean sub energy.
• Harmonics Section:
  • Pressure Mode: Low-density custom waveform editor for surgical mid-range punch.
  • Reese Mode: High-density multi-voice unison engine for wide, detuned basslines.
  • Dedicated Pitch Envelope and keyboard-tracking EQ.
• Texture Section:
  • Texture Mode: Ring Modulation, Amplitude Modulation (AM), and Drive Distortion.
  • Corroder Mode: Noise, Sine, Saw, and Square generators on fixed or keyboard-tracked frequencies.

Processing, FX & Modulation:

• Sub Processor: 33 specialized DSP modes with global Amount control, 6 macro shapers, and smart parameter randomization.
• Filter Bank: Over 40 vintage analog and modern digital filter models.
• FX Rack: 12 insert slots featuring 18 effects with modular rack preset recall.
• Maximiser: Soft and Hard saturation limiting, multiband compression, and post EQ.
• Modulation Suite: 3 envelopes (including dedicated Pitch Env), 6 flexible modulators (LFO, Function, Random, Step Sequencer, Voice Modulator), and Modulation Sidechaining.
• Performance Control: 4 assignable macros, MPE with Slide, NKS standard support, MTS-ESP microtuning, and 300 factory presets.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

• Q: What is the benefit of the Sub Regen feature?
  A: Sub Regen regenerates a clean, phase-locked sine wave underneath your processed harmonic and texture layers, ensuring the sub-bass remains monophonic, solid, and punchy without phase clashes.
• Q: Does Pure SUB support MPE hardware controllers?
  A: Yes, it includes full MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression) support for polyphonic pitch slides, pressure dynamics, and expressive timbre modulation.
