Moonbase Alpha
Warm stacked oscillators with analog drift. The mod wheel makes the pad bloom.
Payt by MOONBASE69
An analog-style synthesizer, made to be played.
Payt by MOONBASE69 is a warm, analog-style synthesizer for Windows (standalone app and VST3 plugin) and Android. Three oscillators, three filters, a fully modular matrix, arpeggiator, 16-step sequencer and effects, with the life of drifting analog circuits.
No ads, no tracking, no data collection in the app.
Hear it
Every fragment is a preset with its own melody, played by the real sound engine. No samples, no extra effects.
Payt Signature Lead
The signature lead: wavefolding on the long notes and bends into the melody.
Acid Line '87
Accents and slides through all three filters in turn: diode, ladder and SVF.
Funk Bass '75
Tight and rhythmic: a snappy filter, ghost notes and a run up to the root.
Ribbon Lead '77
The ribbon in action: slide into notes and bend wide with one finger.
Super Moon
A wall of unison voices. The slide control opens it up.
Glass Cathedral
New: FM bells over a floating pad, with a huge reverb around them.
Solar Flare
New: a hard-synced oscillator with an envelope that tears through every note.
Tectonic
New: a heavily detuned bass that folds into a growl on the mod wheel.
Pulsar Bloom
New: the arpeggiator rolls through chords while the echo multiplies them in stereo.
Crystal Rain
New: a glassy FM pluck with a fast filter snap and stereo echoes.
Quantum Foam
New: ring modulation and audio-rate LFOs, from low rumble to a wall of noise.
