Phoscyon 2
The Last 303 You Will Ever Need
Phoscyon 2 is the definitive 303 emulation with a super-convenient sequencer to immediately get your creative juices flowing.
Re-Designed Emulation, Now Perfect In Every Detail
Emulation of the legendary 303 "silver box” has been taken to entirely new heights. D16 have taken their critically acclaimed and successful Phoscyon 1 and completely re-designed the signal path. Now, they’ve achieved an unprecedented level of emulation accuracy, resulting in this new incarnation of the plug-in.
Not Just One, But Every 303… Under Your Fingertips
Sometimes, you might wonder why your 303 unit doesn't have as low a cutoff as you can hear on one of your favorite tracks…
Diehard 303 fans know every 303 has a distinctive character, and now you can replicate that using Phoscyon 2’s Calibration Parameters. Not only do you have easy access to the familiar synthesis knobs, but you also get a backstage pass to the inner workings of the synth; D16 have included the service trim pots, originally designed for calibration, and some tweaks even owners of original the silver box couldn’t have dreamt of.
In short, it’s a gateway to an entirely new dimension of control and musical expression…

Pound for Pound, the Classic 606 Sound
For the first time since its release in the 80s, you can explore what the 606 would have truly been capable of! The 606 was designed as a companion of the 303 silver box; it may look deceptively simple, but it’s a very versatile unit. It’s found its place in a whole variety of music genres, ranging from the 80s pop, through to modern EDM and experimental.
Big Factory Content to Kickstart Your Work
Don’t want to dive into the technicalities of Nithonat’s signal flow just yet? Then D16 have you covered thanks to factory presets full of scenes, drum kits and patterns. You can get straight into making your music.
A Full Set of Mix-cutting, Harsh and Sizzling Sounds
Its synthesis is special – even when compared to Nepheton’s. It has the characteristic hi-hats and cymbals you’d expect, due to precise software emulation of the original hardware circuits; the bass drum has unparalleled attack character and strong punch; the snare sounds sandy.
These unique attributes guarantee our 606 is not a sub-standard 808, but instead it’s a great instrument in its own right...with a unique timbre that brings an old school feel to your tracks.
