Addictive Motion Engine
What is Narcotic?
Narcotic is the ultimate way to add motion, movement, and pulse to your sounds. At its core, Narcotic is a multi-effect, however, it boasts some industry-leading, unique and powerful features that give it the ability to transform your music in ways you’ve never heard before.
Modulate everything
Take your modulation further with our trippy XY pad. Assign parameters to each axis and modulate them with two more dedicated step sequencers. Each step sequencer is independently customisable so you can create precise, detailed sounds, and the global parameters bar at the bottom allows you to tweak all active sequencers at once.
Presets & FX
Narcotic comes with a powerful lineup of 32 effects units. You can use up to six of them at once in series, and each individual parameter on each effect can be modulated with its own independent step sequencer.
User interface
A smooth user experience is at the heart of Narcotics design. The all-vector interface is fully scalable and guides you through the sound design process without getting in the way of your creativity.
Shroom magic
If you don’t feel like spending time fine-tuning modulation just hit the Shroom Magic button and, with a psychedelic burst of colour, Narcotic will pick and mix from many mind-altering presets, transcending you to sound design heaven in no time at all.
