About Degenson
Degenson is a raw virtual analog drum machine built for distorted percussion, hypnotic sequences and aggressive sound design. Six voices, dual LFOs and fast hands-on control for techno, EBM and experimental production. Now it's also an AUv3 plugin: run Degenson inside your favorite iOS host — GarageBand, AUM, Cubasis, Drambo and more — perfectly in sync with your project tempo. • Six punchy virtual-analog voices with analogue-style decay — percussive across most of the knob, opening into an infinite drone at the top • Full MIDI: notes trigger the voices, every knob responds to a fixed MIDI CC, and the sequencer can be bypassed to play live from any controller • Melodic mode: each octave maps the six voices and transposes them, so you can play the drums tuned across the keyboard • Fast, tactile step sequencer with per-step control and dual LFOs for evolving, hypnotic patterns • Crunch Verb: a gritty master reverb with Mix, Decay and Crunch — the tail degrades as it fades Free to play. The optional Pro upgrade unlocks the AUv3 plugin for use in your DAW and WAV export for bouncing your patterns.

What’s new
Version 1.1.7 · Updated September 7, 2026
Your work now comes back the way you left it. • Fixed: reopening a project — or reloading Degenson inside an AUv3 host — put you on the first pattern containing steps instead of the one you were working on, and brought that pattern's knob settings with it. It now returns you where you were. • Samples are saved with the project. A sample loaded into voice 6 used to disappear on reload; it now travels inside the project file and inside your host's session, up to 30 seconds long. New MIDI panel, on a button you can drag anywhere on the rack. • Channel per voice: give each voice its own MIDI channel, for a DAW track per voice, or for two Degensons in one host that shouldn't answer each other's notes. • Program Change selects patterns, applied on the next loop boundary. • The fixed CC map now starts off inside a plug-in host. Every knob is already a host parameter there, so MIDI-learn reaches it directly — with the table running as well, one CC moved two knobs. It stays on in the standalone app, which has no host to do the mapping. • Controller moves now tell the host about themselves, so they no longer snap back the moment the host touches the parameter. Please note: the CC numbers for voices 2, 3, 4 and 6 have changed. The old ones sat in a range the MIDI spec reserves for other purposes. If you already have a controller mapped, the MIDI panel has a Numbering switch that restores the previous layout.
