AIR Sub Factory Black Friday pricing is 70% off, bringing AIR Music Technology's bass synth plugin to $29 until Nov 26, 2026.
The maker built it to make heavy synth bass. It covers 808 territory and goes well past it, with sounds aimed at R&B, hip hop, drum and bass and pop.
AIR Sub Factory is a synth plugin with three sound sources: two wavetable engines and one sample engine. The aim is bass that you can shape from the oscillator up, in the box.
The maker says it offers both quick results and deep editing, depending on how you like to work.
Each of the two wavetable engines holds hundreds of waves. They run from classic analogue to edgy digital to hybrid tones, and every wave has 127 index points to sweep through.
The third engine is sample-based. It carries kicks, 808 loops, shots, noise and FX samples.
On the sample side you get:
The signal path has filters, dedicated pitch controls, and amp and filter envelopes. A modulation section with a wide choice of targets lets you wire movement into the patch.
For finishing, the effects section covers:
There is also a substantial preset library for starting points, and a full set of controls if you would rather build from scratch.
On Windows, it runs on Windows 10 or 11 in a VST, VST3 or AAX host. On Mac, it runs on macOS 12 Monterey through macOS 14 Sonoma in a VST, VST3, AAX or AU host, and it is Apple Silicon compatible.
Both platforms call for a dual-core 2.5GHz CPU and 4GB of RAM, with 8GB recommended.
