Add bone-shaking subharmonic
bass to your sources.Born in the days of disco, subharmonic synthesizers helped overcome the low-end limitations of vinyl, giving DJs, sound designers, and club mixers pounding kick drums and booty-shaking basslines that defined dance music.
Developed by Brainworx, the bx_subsynth Subharmonic Synth plug-in for UAD-2 hardware and Apollo interfaces takes its cues from the iconic dbx 120XP Subharmonic Synthesizer, but with a host of modern features.Easily add massive low-end punch without affecting the midrange
Beef up kick drums, bass synths, or even old vinyl
Use the M/S feature to pinpoint where you add bass
Harness features like the extra frequency band, the Edge section, and the expanded metering

Updating a Classic
The bx_subsynth Subharmonic Synthesizer plug-in takes the dbx 120XP’s Waveform Modeling engine one step further by adding a third synthesis band. This extends the upper end of the synthesis range from 56 Hz up to 80 Hz — where many crucial instrument fundamentals lie — allowing you to process a wider range of sources, from electronic kick drums to bass synths and more.
Saturate Sources
The bx_subsynth Subharmonic Synthesizer plug-in’s Edge section lets you compress and saturate your source — a handy feature for shaping subharmonic content or building explosive transient peaks. And with Smooth or Harsh modes, Squeeze and Drive, as well as Low/High-Cut filters, you’re afforded an unprecedented amount of control over subharmonic information.
Full Stereo Spectrum Control
The bx_subsynth’s M/S features give you the option to focus the processing only on the mid channel. Sound designers will love being able to pump the center up to blockbuster proportions without affecting the sides. The stereo field can be further tweaked with the Mono Maker and Stereo Width controls, which keep the image in phase and provide you with total control over the perceived signal width.
“Say goodbye to thin kicks, toms, and synths. The bx_subsynth generates ultra-low bottom end from sources where little-to-none exists. And its array of innovative tools let you sculpt your newfound bottom end for truly unique sounds.”

This amazing secret weapon tool is a must!!! Warning! Do not use the bx_subsynth if you don't have LOW END monitoring capability or sub woofers! This monster will make speakers die from shaken baby syndrome if not used responsibly! I used to manually pump up the fundamental, add saturation, EQ and other things, but now I do the work in one plugin and insert. Very efficient and easy to tweak. I use it to fatten synths & bass, add chest thumping bottom to kick or sound effects and to increase thickness to mid range and even some higher frequency material. The saturation possibilities are subtle too extreme yet versatile, but are a different flavour to the VSC-3 and Culture Vulture. This is a seriously creative tool specifically for the gut punching sounds in your project. Test it on your hip-hop friend's car windows!!! I strongly recommend this UA plugin.

Since I have it didn’t stop using it
There is always a way to fix low end and sub. I also have submarine from waves but this tool is much better. Musical which is all there is to. Intuitive to use. My go to tool for bass and kick decision which lays the foundation of a good vibing mix

Energize the Bottom!
Remixing some old material. This plug-in gave new energy to some old tracks. I used to look over it… I honestly didn’t think I needed it, now I can’t do without it. Great tool for reviving that bottom!
