Dominus is a virtual analog synthesizer designed for generating fat and nasty sounds.

This synthesizer is extremely flexible; could run Unison up to 4 voices and Poly up to 32 voices per channel. A built-in spread technology allow non-linear detuning of oscillators sounding four per oscillator; SuperSaw's possible!

Dominus is simple looking, simple to learn but incredibly deep. The novice producers will find it simple to learn and explore while PRO's get lost in a full immersion of complex sound generation! A routing matrix allow to modulate everything inside the plugin from internal free sources or MIDI inputs. Dominus can modulate up to 12 parameters inside it's routing matrix. Dominus arpeggiator, fully controllable step by step like a sequencer, allow to create complex melodies and riffs in seconds.

Dominus has been designed with modern dance, trance, techno and hard dance producers in mind. The non-linear detuning generates fat and full of harmonics sounds, similar to supersaw devices as Roland JP-8000.
Combinating the richness of sound of non-linear technology, the flexibility of the routing matrix, the poly or unison mode and the arpeggiator Dominus has all the cards for creating Super FAT sounds, full of harmonics leads, powerful basses, Supersaw Pads, Plucks, Kicks, Loops and chords seqeunces.

Dominus is a pure Virtual Analog synthesizer. It's designed as common VA synthesizer, but it isn't inspired by any existent Analog device.
