Narcotic is the ultimate way to add motion, movement and pulse to your sounds. At its core, Narcotic is a multi-effect, however, it boasts some industry-leading, unique and powerful features that give it the ability to transform your music in ways you’ve never heard before.
Take your modulation further with our trippy XY pad. Assign parameters to each axis and modulate them with two more dedicated step sequencers.
Each step sequencer is independently customisable so you can create precise, detailed sounds, and the global parameters bar at the bottom allows you to tweak all active sequencers at once.
A smooth user experience is at the heart of Narcotics design. The all-vector interface is fully scalable and guides you through the sound design process without getting in the way of your creativity.
If you don’t feel like spending time fine tuning modulation just hit the Shroom Magic button and, with a psychedelic burst of colour, Narcotic will pick and mix from many mind-altering presets, transcending you to sound design heaven in no time at all.
Narcotic comes with a powerful lineup of 32 effects units. You can use up to six of them at once in series, and each individual parameter on each effect can be modulated with its own independent step sequencer.

WHAT OTHERS HAVE TO SAY …
DAVID SCHWARTZ
“Narcotic is highly original and super cool. For those times when you want to elevate a track, I can see this getting a ton of use in my studio. Highly recommended.”
The Crystal Method
“Narcotic is stunning in every way imaginable! Sonically rich with seemly limitless functionality to texturize, tenderize and mesmerize, Narcotic is a BEAST!”
Ramin Djawadi
“Narcotic is a transformative tool, great for rhythmically invigorating any sound you put into it.”
Jordan Rudess
“From the word go I was lost in an ultra tripped out world of sonic mayhem and possibilities. This was my experience with Narcotic. Floored by the coolness of this software.”
Charlie Clouser
“I’m always looking for new ways to add motion, rhythm, and pulses to sounds that would otherwise just sit there, and NARCOTIC wraps a wide range of audio effects, some of which are really unusual, into a clean interface controlled by excellent step sequencers. From subtle LFO motion to aggressive chops to synthy pulses, NARCOTIC can get you there fast. It’s truly addictive!”
DANNY LUX
“Narcotic is one of those creative tools that is both fun and inspiring. It can take a static simple sound and turn it to something that will become the focus of my track. The randomizing engine actually produces great options that I would never come with on my own. Highly addictive.”
John Debney
“Finally an all-in-one box of flavors to add modern spice and character to any sound, organic or synthetic! I can see this becoming one of my go-to plugins very quickly!”
Atli Örvarsson
“Narcotic is the most useful plug-in I have come across in a while. The sound mangling modules sound great, the modulation capabilities are endless and the interface is extremely intuitive. I love how this gives me the ability to create pulses and moving soundscapes quickly and easily from pretty much any source material. Highly recommended!!”
