The Legendary Floor Synth, Now on Your Desktop
Cherry Audio’s Lowdown brings the massive, thunderous sound of the iconic dual-oscillator bass pedal synth of the ’70s and ’80s into plugin form for the very first time. Famous for powering tracks by Rush, Genesis, The Police, and U2, this foot-controlled behemoth is now reborn with meticulous circuit-level modeling by DSP legend Mark Barton (MRB).
Lowdown delivers the same gut-rattling analog tone — from deep, round bass to snarling synth leads — with an ultra-realistic interface, simple controls, and inspiring presets. Whether you’re crafting vintage prog vibes or earth-shaking modern bass, Lowdown lets you step into one of the fattest synth experiences ever created.
Key Features:
- Precise virtual emulation of the classic monophonic bass pedal synth
- Dual oscillators (saw & square) with constant-beat detuning for massive tone
- Authentic 24 dB/oct ladder lowpass filter (Cutoff, Emphasis, Contour)
- One-click vintage presets: Bull, Tuba, Bass
