TOXOBYTE

Acid Line Synthesizer

by Sick Noise Instruments

One Oscillator. One Filter. Sixteen Steps. Endless Squelch.

Bring raw acid energy to your productions with TOXOBYTE, a dedicated acid line synthesizer built for acid techno, psytrance, and hard techno. Combine a punchy oscillator, a resonant 24 dB ladder filter, classic accent and slide behavior, and a fully integrated 16-step sequencer to create everything from deep, rubbery basslines to aggressive, screaming acid leads.

Load it. Hit play. Twist the cutoff. Let the acid flow.

Key Features

• Classic Acid Oscillator — Switch between band-limited saw and square waveforms for instantly recognizable acid tones.
• Resonant 24 dB Ladder Filter — A 4-pole low-pass filter with dedicated decay envelope and adjustable ENV MOD for everything from deep squelch to wild, resonant screams.
• Authentic Accent & Slide — Accented steps deliver extra punch and filter intensity, while slide connects notes smoothly without retriggering envelopes.
• 16-Step Acid Sequencer — Program every step with independent note, gate, accent, slide, and octave controls. Note names keep your patterns easy to follow.
• Full DAW Synchronization — Follows your host tempo, transport, and bar position to keep every pattern locked to your track.
• Live MIDI Transpose — Play your MIDI keyboard to transpose running patterns in real time. Create new key changes and breakdowns without stopping the groove.
• Instant Random Patterns — Generate fresh acid sequences with a single click, always rooted in a dark minor scale.
• Built-In Dirt Shaper — Add gritty, saturated character with tanh waveshaping and automatic gain compensation.
• Live Oscilloscope — Watch your waveform respond as you shape the oscillator and filter.
• Complete Preset Browser — Browse, search, save, and delete presets. Each preset remembers the entire sound and sequencer pattern.
