TurboBeast

Drive the sound.

An engine synth you drive, not play. Six fictional machines — two-stroke scream to V8 thunder — are synthesized as real combustion pulse trains, no samples. Work the gas, brake and steering and the tires break loose into squealing drifts; swap exhausts, tires, road surfaces and stages to move the whole scene. Write MIDI notes and the engine sings the melody.

Drive the sound.

TurboBeast has no keyboard — it has a cockpit. Push the engine start button and a combustion engine idles in front of you, synthesized pulse by pulse. Open the gas and it revs; brake hard from speed and the pads sing; gas and brake together with a flick of steering and the tires let go into a full squealing drift. Every piece of the scene is swappable: six vehicles, four exhausts, six tires, five road surfaces and four stages from a highway overpass to a ringing warehouse. Write MIDI notes and the firing fundamental locks to the pitch, so the engine plays your melody. Pitch bend is the throttle; sustain is the brake; twelve hardware-controller presets are built in. The standalone app records straight to WAV, AIFF or FLAC. Every control is exposed to host automation in the AU/VST3 builds.

Parameters

Under the Hood

Cockpit
Engine Start
Fire it up to a live idle; key off for a real spin-down with dying sputters
Gas
The throttle is the voice — drag the pedal, hold a key, or ride a MIDI pitch wheel
Brake
Pads bite with a heavy growl that follows your speed, then falls silent when you stop
Steer
Lateral scrub and screeching slides — the second ingredient of a drift
Shift
A real H-gate on the cars, one-stroke sequential on the bikes; gears read as pitch steps
Garage & Stage
Vehicle
Six machines, six engines — each recolours the whole page and its spark show
Exhaust
Stock, sport cannon, straight pipe or race chamber
Tires x Road
Five surfaces x six tires decide when grip lets go — rain breaks away early
Stage
Highway overpass slapback, tight street flutter, dry rural air or a ringing warehouse
Tone
Sub
Firing-locked sub layer for chest weight
Brake Bite / Fade
Attack and release of the brake squeal envelope
Gain
Master output with up to +12 dB of headroom

MADE FOR

Phonk / Drift / Trap / Techno / Cinema / Game audio

USE CASE

Idle it under a beat for a living low-end drone, or rev in rhythm for hype fills. Carry speed, then gas + brake together and steer: the drift squeal is a riser you can steer by hand. In a DAW, write a bass line as MIDI — the engine plays it with exhaust and turbo attached. Automate the stage for scene changes.

FOR

Producers who want an engine in the track, sound designers who need real drift and brake acoustics without a field recorder, and anyone who ever revved an engine just to hear it.
