  • A classic ARP mono-synth, meticulously multi-sampled.

    As a minimalist monophonic synthesizer from the 70s, the ARP AXXE is as straightforward as it gets: Single oscillator, one envelope generator, a simple low-pass filter, white noise generator, pwm… However, it still manages to achieve that delightfully gnarly ARP sound that’s so unique to everything this little New England-based synth manufacturer put together.

From solid basses to quirky plucks, from noise crashes to surprisingly competent synth drums – this pack is sure to inspire you.

    No corners were cut during the sampling process and every single patch was recorded one semitone at a time for consistent timbre and maximum authenticity. Additionally, each note was tuned individually to make sure this pack can work along all your other instruments and samples.
