Ark Sub interface

A simplified web version of Ark Sub’s SIMPLE face, running in your browser. Sound only plays after you press Play.

What it does
  • Sine → triangle → rounded-saw blend, with 2nd and 3rd harmonics so the sub reads on small speakers
  • Click-free retrigger, 808-style pitch drop and glide
  • Kick-safe ducking from a sidechain or the host beat
  • A mono-safe limiter on the output
  • Tuner hero: the note, its frequency and cents, with a live scope and harmonic ladder
  • SIMPLE face with WEIGHT, GROWL, PUNCH and GLIDE macros; EXPERT shows every control
