Pure SUB
Bass Design-Synthesizer
Dein Instrument für tiefe, druckvolle und charakterstarke Bässe. Bau dir gezielt deinen Sound aus Grundton, Obertönen und Textur und nutze den Sub-Prozessor, um aus einem rohen Klang einen vollendeten Bass zu formen – mit nur wenigen, aber präzisen Handgriffen.
DROP THAT BASS
Modern bass is about building pressure, shifting momentum and shaping the visceral depth and driving energy of a track. Pure SUB brings heavyweight bass design and integrated processing together, so you can build your low-end and make it drop with immediacy and control.

Build the foundation
Great bass design is no longer a dark art. Pure SUB breaks the sound into three essential layers so you can shape each independently and build a solid bass core from the ground up.
Sub
Take control of the low end with a dedicated Sub section, shaping the fundamental’s level, phase and pitch independently from harmonics. Push processing hard, then use Sub Regen to restore a clean, stable fundamental.
Harmonics
Next, build the tone in Harmonics. Switch between Pressure and Reese modes, explore waveforms from clean 808s to complex, evolving shapes, then use dedicated controls to create everything from focused punch to shuddering stereo movement.
Texture
Complete the core with Noise or Corroder modes. Shape noise against the fundamental using Ring Modulation, AM or Distortion, or add key-tracked White Noise, Sine, Saw and Square tones for grit, movement and greater presence.
Impact
Make it growl
Turn a heavyweight core into hard-hitting sound-system impact. Reshape its harmonic profile, push the timbre from clean pressure into hard-edged distortion and texture with the Sub Processor, then use the Maximiser to deliver pumping, controlled loudness.
Klangformung
Creatively reshape your sound with more than 40 filter modes, from clean contours to driven, destructive shapes. Route Sub, Harmonics and Texture independently to bend exactly the layers you want.
Process
Up the aggression level with the Sub Processor, combining 33 modes with varying degrees of distortion, texture and tonal reshaping. Randomise, or go deeper with 18 effects across 12 FX slots.
Maximise
Everything you need to make your bass shake the ground. Tighten the mix with EQ, compression and multiband processing, then push the Maximiser for heavy pumping, maximum loudness and added grit.
Sub
Generate the fundamental independently from the harmonics, with separate level controls, octave and modulation. Sub Regen lets the original fundamental drive filters, distortion and effects before replacing the processed low end with a clean version — preserving stable phase and amplitude on sound systems.
Motion
Bring any layer to life
A drop-defining bass should never stand still. Shape how every note strikes, moves and evolves with dedicated envelopes and flexible modulation, from pitch dives and syncopated wobbles to shifting Reeses and controlled low-end chaos.
Make it kick
Alongside three fixed envelopes, a dedicated pitch envelope makes punch and impact one click away. Shape the pitch drop to give any bass a harder-hitting transient or create gliding, 808-inspired movement.
Modulate in one drop
Bring your bass to life in seconds. Drag and drop a modulator onto any parameter, dial in the depth, then animate the modulation itself for evolving, unpredictable results.
Choose how it moves
Fill six flexible slots with any combination of Envelope, Function, Random, Voice Modulator or Step Sequencer sources for rhythmic wobbles, evolving Reeses, stepped patterns or note-by-note variation.
Low end
spectrum
From gliding 808 pressure to rolling Reeses, syncopated wobbles and distorted hard bass, hear Pure SUB drive the weight, movement and impact of the track.

Kenny Larkin
Techno producer from Detroit
"I never knew I was missing something like this in my collection of plugins! It’s scary how the Pure SUB is giving my mono synths so much competition, sonically! Everything from delicious, buttery tones to nasty, filthy speaker destroyers are in this amazing and deep plugin. Arturia is killin’ it with their software synths!"
Eprom
Producer
"Manages to be super easy on the surface level with some surprisingly deep and smart sound design features. Super clean interface and ridiculously fun to hit randomize on the parameters and see what magic happens."
A-Trak
Prodcuer, Dj
"Pure SUB does exactly what the name suggests, in the best way possible. When you need to get surgical with that low end, when you need some real options for every aspect of that sub bass — width and color and textures and all types of processing — this is the toolkit we needed. "
Gernot von Modeselektor
producer
"Pure SUB is basically every UK bass dream in one box. It gets you to that deep, massive, and authentic sound ridiculously fast. No endless tweaking — it’s immediate, inspiring, and just a huge pleasure to work with. Have fun!"
Ivy Lab
Producers
"Pure SUB has become a go-to for bass - the intuitive interface and inspiring presets have made it feel genuinely fun to use and something which has helped out with a range of tracks in different styles."
Addison Groove
Producer
"I tend to always make my own sounds from scratch, and this is where Pure SUB shines. It’s so easy to get something good and deep enough to make something great."
OM Unit
Producer
"That Pure SUB is an instant winner - really fun to use, and I like that you can swap out oscillator engines/samples, filters, etc. individually and make cool combos of stuff using the presets - really nice work!"
Acemo
Prodcuer, Dj
"Pure SUB gets you a bass sound that you look for that you know sounds complex, compression and distortion come very easy and the ease of use is second to none"
Egoless
Producer
"Arturia offers the most ear pleasing representation of analog warmth in the software world. Pure SUB is not an exception, it delivers proper bass weight and midrange grit / distortion without sounding harsh."
INVT
Producer
"Love the new Pure SUB plug-in from Arturia. There’s a ton of dope patches for subs, 808s and all kinds of bass sounds, and you have many modulation and LFO options to take it somewhere completely different. The sequencer is sick too, really love the audio-reactant visuals."
François X
DJ / Producer
"Pure SUB is incredible; the sound and the grain are absolutely extraordinary. What is truly amazing with this plugin is how quickly you can program rumbling sub-bass and bass lines, making you feel like Mike Dean in the blink of an eye. "
De Grandi
Producer
"Pure SUB is incredibly powerful. Harmonics play such a huge role in how a bass feels, and being able to dial them in this easily makes it an incredibly effective tool."
Léonard de Léonard
Producer, composer
"I’ve used a lot of synths for bass, but Pure SUB really stands out because it keeps things simple and musical while still letting you create surprisingly complex sounds. I really like the way the synth is structured. Everything feels clear and intuitive, so you can work very quickly without getting lost in endless options. The FX section is also perfect for completing the sound, so you can get something that already feels finished without needing a lot of additional processing. I was able to get sounds I really liked almost immediately, which is always a very good sign. It’s simple, musical, and gets you where you want to go very quickly."
MoMa Ready
Producer, Dj
"Pure SUB is some of the most fun I've had using a modern plugin; its great starting library of sounds and user-friendly interface make it a blast to use! Highly Recommended!"
Hyas
Producer
"One twist and you're dialing in depth and character on the fly. Subprocessor randomization and parametric effects jumps you from one sonic universe to another in a heartbeat. Layer in the texture sounds with independent stereo panning, and the sound just BREATHES. Rock-solid filter, so much power in so few knobs. Near-infinite bass design to lock in your signature sound."
Aurèle
Producer
"I love Pure SUB for very simple sine-heavy bumps, and it also does a great job for gnarly UK-inspired sounds. Pure SUB is actually becoming my go-to plugin for anything bass-related. "
Introspekt
Prodcuer, Dj
"Pure SUB punches through the mix with impeccable clarity and tectonic weight. An absolute must have for modern bass music production!"
GGGG
Producer, composer
"The basses are seriously deep and powerful, exactly the kind of low end that can give your tracks a whole new dimension quickly. You can still create your own presets and dive deep into sound design, making it really easy to shape the sound exactly the way you want. And it works incredibly well for cinematic music too, definitely a very versatile plugin!"
