This is truly a mean little device. It looks mean and sounds meaner. Like its freeware cousin it's loooooow, but this version adds a very grating, disturbed layer on top. It's so hard-core it makes my beloved Synchrotron seem a little mellow.
On the negative side, the resonance lacks bite and a couple of different waveforms would have been nice.
Compared with the recently released Z0-405, this device is certainly more hardcore, but it does lack range. The Z0-405 is nasty but it also has a hatfull of other tricks as well. The DubSub2 does just two things: sub-bass and distorted bass.
But if cone-popping, bowel-wobbling distorted, screeching, manic bass is what you want, then the Dubsub2 is what you need.

For the purposes of making you understand my point, I make no excuses when I say this is a fukken nasty piece of work.

I have a Korg MS 2000 and this thing is bigger, badder and meaner for Bass than any thing I've had the pleasure of toying with so far.

And if you not careful it'll kick your Granny when your not looking, then slap you if you complain about it.

Seriously if you like D&B, Breakbeats or Hip Hop, everything has changed. This is a must have bit of kit and as a tip I happened to route it through Celmos bluesman and I am now officially the toughest kid in school

Brace yourself.


PS: guys @ wavelength my neighbours hate you Will you have my children?

WOW
I just got this synth from "Dr." Hummel and I must say:
this synth is fantastic!

I played a minor [instigating] role in the development of this beast because I had pleaded for a pitch envelope so that the dubsub would fulfill all of my subsonic deconstruction needs. well, we got that folks! AND a whole hell of a lot more!!!

I expected, after looking at the interface, that it would be the dubsub+pitch env. i noticed the ringmodulator, and suspected that there must be more going on than this. there certainly is!
THIS IS NOT MERELY A SUB BASS SYNTH
and the label "dubsub2" is decieving. While it is probably the deepest bass synth (yes, better than saturn and inferno IMHO), it is much, much, more than this.
After assigning a few choice knobs, I had this synthesizer running from
subsonic-furniture-moving mode to
ear-bleeding squeels to
alien invasion synth blip mayhem.
I had to look out the window to ensure that I had not summoned the forces of darkness with my beckoning shrieks.

Do I sound excited? Well I am! I have tried the ZO405, and quite liked it for its unusual capabilities, but the dubsub2 can do just as much craziness, and is really simple to program!

Not only will this synth serve as my default bass synth, but this will sit right next to the STS3000 ready to serve as a percussive-wierdness sound source for sampling.

I am into dark drum n bass and experimental electro, and believe you me, this thing is made for it.

enough ranting. i am going to go make music that will cause little children to cry.

I advise you to buy this one. ignore me at your peril. listen to me, and produce the peril for others with the dubsub2.

i was a guest at atomics house last week (very impressive set up ) and had a go with this little bastard.

yes, this is the real stuff. it's on my 'first-to-buy-list'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
