Sculpt below the surface

From impact to atmosphere.

Every stage is designed around the anatomy of a heavy electronic kick—not a generic synth chain forced into the job.

01

Four-source kick engine

Combine the central synthesized kick with a 24-sound Wave Layer, selectable oscillator and an independent Sub Generator with its own ADSR and sequencer.

02

Shape without compromise

Use multimode filtering and an aggressive parallel compressor to move from clean sub pressure to dense, saturated impact.

03

Purpose-built rumble

Generate a dark, controlled aftershock from every kick, then set its amount, decay, tone and drive independently from the dry impact.

04

Rhythmic space

Delay, ambience and long-tail reverb create everything from a tight room to a huge cathedral wash, with an eight-step tail rhythm shaper.

05

Motion that locks

Two assignable LFOs offer multiple shapes, phase, retrigger and smoothing. Sync the 16-step velocity sequencer to your DAW or run it manually.

06

Finish at the source

A final multimode filter and protected Gain FX stage add weight and edge, while Extended Mix restores clean source detail after the effects.

Made for the loop

Design in context.
Stay in motion.

Trigger SUBTERRAIN from your DAW or sketch patterns directly in the built-in sequencer. Half and full velocity steps make accents immediate, while host sync keeps the whole engine anchored to the session.
