FAW SubLab XL is a bass synthesizer for producers building 808 lines, clean sub-bass, Reese basses and layered supersaws. It combines synth and sampler engines with X-Sub, giving hip-hop and electronic music makers several ways to shape their low end within one instrument.

The Super Oscillator layers saw, triangle or square waves, with tuning, detuning, blend and stereo width controls for anything from focused bass to wider textures. An arrangeable effects chain holds up to four processors, with options including six distortion styles, waveshaping, tape coloration, bitcrushing and compression with automatic sidechain control.

For movement, the LFO can modulate two parameters at once and sync to your project tempo. Two customizable macros each control up to ten parameters, making broader sound changes easier to manage while writing or arranging.

SubLab XL includes nine factory bass packs, over 100 presets and hundreds of kick, transient and 808 samples recorded from analog drum machines and modular gear. This Windows version comes in VST2, VST3 and AAX formats for compatible hosts, including FL Studio and Ableton Live.
