Key Features and Capabilities
Powerful Synthesizer Engine
At the heart of Deep Step-606 lies a synthesizer inspired by classic models. While easy to master, its sonic potential allows for the creation of a wide range of timbres — from deep and resonant basses, perfect for techno or house, to sharp and piercing leads that cut through the mix. You can shape the sound using available parameters, finding your own unique palettes.
Intuitive Step Sequencer
The heart of Deep Step-606 is its vintage analog step sequencer. It is an integral part of the instrument, encouraging experimentation and creating music in a completely new way. Instead of traditional note programming on a MIDI track, you interact with a sequence of steps, each of which can have its own parameters. This opens the door to creating complex, evolving, and organic patterns that are difficult to achieve with other methods. The sequencer synchronizes with your DAW (Sync to Host), ensuring perfect integration into your workflow.
Built-in Effects for a Complete Sound
To further shape and polish your sound, Deep Step-606 is equipped with two main effects. The Doppler Chorus effect adds volume, width, and a pleasant movement to the sound, making it more lively and multi-layered. Stereo Echo creates a sense of space and depth, allowing your sequences and melodies to naturally dissolve in the mix. These effects perfectly complement the character of the synthesizer and sequencer, allowing you to get a ready-to-use sound directly from the plugin.
Convenience and Compatibility
Deep Step-606 offers 128 user presets, allowing you to save and quickly recall your favorite sounds and patterns. Additionally, 70 ready-made custom presets are included, serving as an excellent starting point for creativity or can be used directly in your projects. The plugin is available in VST 2.4 format and is compatible with the Windows operating system (Win32), ensuring wide availability for users of this platform.
Creative Flow with Deep Step-606
Using Deep Step-606 is not just about getting certain sounds, but also about adopting a certain creative approach. The combination of synthesizer and step sequencer encourages improvisation and experimentation. You can quickly jot down ideas, change patterns on the fly, and watch as your musical ideas develop and transform. This makes it the perfect tool for creating electronic music of various genres — from house and techno to ambient and experimental electronics, where rhythm and texture play a key role.
Whether you’re looking for authentic vintage timbres, a powerful tool for creating rhythmic structures, or just a new source of inspiration, Deep Step-606 offers it all in one compact and effective plugin. Feel the energy of the classics and create something completely new!
