- 32 Oscillator shapes
- 8 Distortion Units: Overdrive, Clip Inferno, Hot Valve, Ultracrunch, Turbo Fuzz, RageClip, Brutal Bill and the new Bit Crusher for added grit.
- 3 FX Slots with 7 Effects Available: Reverb, EchoVerb, SynthVerb, Stereo Chorus, Mono Chorus, 4Band-Fuzz and Flanger

ABX3 feels like a modular acid synth disguised as a VST
It invites deep tweaking — from glide times to oscillator gain structure.
I paired it with RG3’s oldskool sample pack and built a full hardcore banger in an hour.
Works flawlessly in both Logic and Ableton on M1.
Best part? It’s actually fun to use, not just functional
