Free now: Voculon 3000 is a wonderful retro-futuristic vocal instrument

Thump One is a hard-hitting wavetable-kick-supersaw synth – and it’s free

What if you could take the essence of a melodic 808 kick, a wavetable synth, the thick supersaw from a JP8000, and an edgy percussive synth and mash them all together into one magical lead-kick-synth? And then what if you made that free? Well, that’s just what Toybox has done with the Thump One. It’s the deluxe banana split covered in whipped cream dessert treat of synthesizers – and you deserve it.
