DIGITAL WORMS ATTACK is a tribute to Mr. Oizo's classic album ANALOG WORMS ATTACK and the Korg MS-20 that helped shape its sound. Two analog-style synth voices, an 808-flavored drum machine, a sampled drum kit, and a microphone sampler — all driven by a step sequencer with per-step parameter locks. Stack effects, record your jam, export a WAV. FEATURES • Dual monosynth with MS-20-style filter • 808-style drum voices (kick, snare, hat, clap, cowbell) • Sample-based drum kit • Microphone sampler — record and play back your own sounds • Step sequencer with motion sequencing • Master effects chain • Session recording and WAV export Made as an homage to Mr. Oizo and ANALOG WORMS ATTACK. Have fun.
