Size 11 Mb
Phonec 2 v2.4 VST/AU Synthesizer.
Phonec was inspired by the mystique of video logo music that was often heard at the beginning of a film on VHS. Phonec aims to recreate the obscure character and ghostly qualities of these sounds. Aside from it’s quirky nature, Phonec is a unique and powerful synthesizer, capable of producing a wide range of sounds such as vintage analogue tones, lo-fi synthscapes, ethereal ambiance, minimal techno sequences, retro leads and hard hitting synth basses. Phonec’s intuitive GUI attempts to strike a balance between form and function. This makes it a very practical tool that can be a real inspiration to work with. Apart from this, Phonec2 has several interesting features that set it apart from the crowd.
Features:
- Dual Oscillators with various combinations: Mix, Sync, Ring, X-wave, logic
- Sub Oscillator for beefing up the low end
- Analog-style oscillator drifting
- 2-stage lowpass filter with 8 modes + Acid Filter

Here is a brief overview of some of Phonec’s key features:
Oscillator Combinations
Phonec2 has an Oscillator system that uses various combinations to create interesting new sounds. Oscillators can be mixed, synced and even combined using Logic gates with adjustable switching points for creating sounds not normally heard coming from a set of waveforms.
Filter Functionality
The Filter section is extremely versatile, with Lowpass and Highpass systems that can be routed in different ways. Several Filter variations are available including a special Acid Filter with extra smooth resonance. Filter Separation, Saturation Driver and pre/post gain distortion are some of the features that make up Phonec’s filter system. There’s even a 3-band Parametric EQ for further frequency manipulation.
Melt
Phonec’s unique sound is based in large part on it’s Melt system, which produces a warped, drifting, and slightly spooky quality to give your sounds vibe and character.
Sequences and Patterns
Phonec2 has an Arpeggiator and Sequencer that work together and compliment each other. While they can both be used on their own, wonderful things can happen while they are both in operation. The Sequencer acts as an accompaniment to the Arpeggiator, for implementing subtle note variations, Filter offsets and volume accents or dropouts. The two units can even have different timings, allowing for some unexpected melodic patterns.
Modulation Madness
Phonec’s Modulation system is designed for serious experimentation. Three LFOs and two Envelopes that can modulate most parameters, let you shape your sound in surprising ways. The HFO, which is a High Frequency Oscillator, can achieve FM, AM and PM synthesis. The HFO can be assigned to various targets using uncommon formulas that result in strange and beautiful sounds.
