AXXESS Virtual Analog Synthesizer Plug-in

The deal

$39.99 at Sweetwater (down from $79.99). Sale ends May 18, 2026.

What it is

AXXESS is GForce Software's augmented recreation of the 1975 ARP AXXE, a classic monophonic analog synthesizer known for fat basses and cutting leads. GForce preserved the original signal path - VCO with saw and pulse waveforms, a 24dB resonant ladder filter, and a punchy VCA - then expanded it with polyphony, a built-in sequencer, and modern modulation options. The filter overloads musically at high resonance, producing everything from dark industrial textures to warm, vocal-like timbres.

Who it's for

Producers making electronica, synthpop, hip hop, or cinematic music who want classic ARP Axxe character - fat basses, gnarly leads, vintage sequences - with a modern plugin workflow and deep sound design flexibility.

Key features

• Up to 6-voice polyphony plus unison and legato modes, expanding on the original mono-only design
• X-Modifiers (XLFO and XADSR) provide an independent LFO and envelope per parameter for complex modulation routing
• A 16-step sequencer with velocity control and built-in arpeggiator handles rhythmic patterns and melodic lines
• Three built-in stereo effects - Distortion, Analog Stereo Delay, and Matrix Reverb - plus over 350 production-ready presets and a Vintage knob that adds organic analog imperfections
