SUBFORGE — Cinematic LFE Processor

Shape existing low end. Generate tuned sub impacts. Give every hit the weight it needs.

SUBFORGE brings LFE enhancement and transient-triggered sub generation into one interface. Designed for film, television, trailers and immersive mixing, it works on dedicated music and effects LFE auxes, parallel sub returns and supported multichannel buses.

Reinforce an existing LFE track, add a tight sub layer beneath a gunshot, or create a longer, descending impact for an explosion.

Three ways to shape your low end

• Enhance: Reinforce low-frequency content already present.
• Generate: Create tuned, sine-based sub impacts from incoming transients.
• Hybrid: Combine existing LFE processing with generated sub.

Four main controls—Drive, Generate, Frequency and Weight—keep everyday adjustments close at hand. Open Advanced for detailed trigger, envelope, pitch-sweep, enhancement and output controls.

Features

• Tunable generated fundamental from 20–120 Hz
• Source-responsive impact dynamics
• Adjustable attack, decay and downward pitch sweep
• Threshold, holdoff and three detection modes
• LFE/Main, Front LCR, All non-LFE and external sidechain detection
• Clean, Punch and Harmonic characters

• High-pass and low-pass filtering, polarity and output trim
• Sample-peak protection and optional 2x/4x oversampling
• 14 factory presets, user presets and contextual hover help

SUBFORGE generates tuned impacts with an optional pitch sweep; it does not automatically track source pitch.
