Made in the UK

Bass instruments for the low end that moves

Dillan Stephenson Audio builds plug-ins for UK bassline, speed garage and bass house. Not a general purpose synth with a bass folder in the presets. Instruments designed around the sound from the first line of code.

Wompanator 3000

A bass synth that only wants to do one thing

Two oscillators and a dedicated sub through a four pole ladder filter, a wobble locked to host tempo, five drive shapes and a four slot effects rack. Built for basslines that have to carry a track on their own.

Next off the bench

More instruments and effects are in progress, cut from the same cloth. Nothing gets a page here until it is finished and tested, so this list stays short on purpose.

How it is built

Written from scratch, tested before it ships

Every plug-in here is C++ against the VST3 SDK, with the DSP written rather than borrowed. The oscillators are band limited, the ladder filter is solved without a unit delay in its feedback path, and nothing allocates on the audio thread.

An offline render test walks every factory prefab and checks it for silence, clipping, DC offset and samples that are not finite.
A second test drives the processor with no host at all, so the paths you cannot see in the editor are covered too.
The Steinberg validator runs on every build.
The editor is drawn as vectors, so it stays sharp at any size.
