Phobos

Phobos is a lightweight audio plugin developed specifically for helping you tweak the sound with the aid of a 6 voice polyphonic synthesizer. The audio plugin comes with support for one phase distortion oscillator as modulator, two LFOs, one mod envelope, chorus effects, as well as switchable mono/poly mode with glide level.

In order to make use of the audio plugin’s capabilities and install it on all Windows flavors out there, you need to have a VST host like energyXT or VSTHost deployed on the target computer.

The layout looks clean and the dedicated parameters are well organized. A help manual is not embedded in the package to help you read more about the configuration process so you need to experiment a little bit with the audio options in order to understand how the audio plugin works.

Phobos offers you the freedom to set up a modulator in terms of waveform (e.g. Saw, Square, Pulse), tweak the octave and note, adjust the overall output, as well as configure two LFOs (low-frequency oscillation) by altering the pitch, level, and amp.

Other important audio setup options are implemented for helping you work with a mod envelope which allows you to make changes to the attack, delay, sustain, release, phase, and pitch parameters, alter two LFOs by tweaking the shape and speed, as well as enable chorus effects and modify the rate.

When it comes to tweaking the amp envelope, you are allowed to make adjustments the attack, decay, sustain, and release options by simply moving the built-in slider, as well as set up global settings like glide, bender, and mod wheel.

Tests have pointed out that Phobos carries out tasks quickly and provides very good output results. It does not eat up a lot of CPU and memory resources so the overall performance of the computer is not hampered.

To sum things up, Phobos comes packed with several handy features for helping you enhance the sound. It can be mastered by less experienced users and professionals alike.
