"The Korgasmatron looks rather intimidating at first. But learning the ropes is well worth it, as it produces some gritty-sounding modulations."Jan Hennig a.k.a Kabuki. Music producer and sound designer (New Forms, V Recordings).
"Intelijell Designs Korgasmatron II is just as dirty and incredibly powerful in Softubes rendering as it is in real life. One of the most complete and versatile filters you will ever find regardless if it's in 3U or on the screen."Ulf Lundblad. Founder of Escape from Noise webstore.
"The Intellijel modules deserve a mention all of their own - they're elegant and very powerful."Jon K. Carroll. Soundbytes Online Magazine - free online magazine devoted to the subject of computer sound and music production.
This product is an expansion for Softube Modular. If you do not currently own Modular, you can purchase it HERE.
Taking inspiration from a classic Japanese synth, Intellijel Korgasmatron II is a dual voltage controlled filter which can also be used as a limited oscillator. It has a completely independent six mode filter on each side. The filters can be blended to taste with the Xfade knob. Korgasmatron II is an add-on module for use with Modular.
While Korgasmatron II takes its name from a classic Japanese synth released in the early 80s, it's far from a clone. Korgasmatron II offers much more grit and flexibility than its predecessor.
Korgasmatron II has a completely independent six mode filter output on each side which are selected via a rotary switch. It also has a special overdrive feature that enables the output signal to be soft or hard clipped depending on hard you drive the input signal. This is controlled via the input amp which starts clipping when you put the knob past 12 o'clock (assuming an standard 10 Vpp waveform). The hard/soft clipping differences are subtle on simple waveforms sources and dramatic on more complex sources (such as chords).
Just like the original hardware, the Intellijel Korgasmatron II can go from clean and precise to howling and agressive, from classic MS-20 type sounds to totally new territory, all depending on how you tweak the front panel controls.

System Requirements
- macOS Big Sur 11, Monterey 12, Ventura 13
- Windows 10 (64-bit), Windows 11
- Softube account
- iLok account
- Computer with AU, VST, VST3, and/or AAX-compatible DAW host software
- Internet access (for downloading installers and managing licenses)
Supported CPU Families
- Apple macOS computers with Intel Core i3/i5/i7 or Apple silicon (M1 or newer) CPU. Apple silicon is supported natively.
- Windows computers with quad-core Intel Core i3/i5/i7 or AMD quad-core processors with SSE 4.2 support.
- Other Intel processors (Celeron, Pentium, and Xeon) are compatible if they support SSE 4.2 instructions.
Supported Host Software (DAW)
Any 64-bit VST, VST3, AU, or AAX (Pro Tools 11.0.2 or higher) compatible host application should work. However, due to plug-in host differences between DAWs—and our rigorous standards—Softube only officially test their plug-ins and instruments in the most recent versions of Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Cubase, Ableton Live, Studio One, and Reaper. Softube plug-ins are not tested regularly in non-listed systems. They will likely work if the system requirements are met. However, the manufacturer cannot guarantee a solution for issues in unsupported systems.
Softube strongly recommend using VST3, as some of their plug-ins have features that are not present in the older VST format. Supported sample rates: 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, and 192 kHz, in both mono and stereo. The most recent maintenance release of your DAW application is recommended. AAX DSP is not currently in active development. TDM/VENUE/RTAS are no longer supported. See Legacy Installers.
- Softube Modular is required to run this software.
- Make sure that you always use the latest iLok License Manager. It is not included in the Softube installer but can be downloaded from www.ilok.com
