by Alien PluginsIndie

Psytrance kick and bass groove engine

VST3AUAppRuns on Win · Mac

Psytrance groove engine that plays a kick and rolling bass the moment it loads, with 102 grooves in nine styles. The Lock tunes the kick to the bass and ducks the bass out of its way, and it can drive Alien PsyEngine with its bassline.

About Seqonaut

Seqonaut writes a psytrance groove and synthesizes it too: kick, rolling bass, hats, ride, clap and texture. Because it owns both the kick and the bass, it can lock them together the way a finished record does, which a MIDI-only groove tool can't.

ENGINE 2 adds two-stage hats, a kick tuned for 130 to 180 BPM, a ladder-filter bass and a club-level master stage at zero latency. The Bass Shaper exposes cutoff, resonance, envelope, drive, grit, wave, FM and glide. Above the groove, the Trip layer has 37 styles of acid lines, zaps, arps and talking synths, and Space adds a dotted-eighth ping-pong delay and a dark reverb while the kick and bass stay dry.

Make me a track turns one groove into an editable intro-to-outro arrangement. You can drag out MIDI, the mix or stems, send live MIDI per part, or use eight extra stereo outputs. Your own drum samples can replace the synthesized parts.
