Product Overview

Details

The instrument features independently selectable key-down and key-up articulations, allowing for detailed control over decay, filter, tuning, and velocity sensitivity. You can adjust noise types and their respective volumes, as well as envelope and filtering settings. Root Bass supports both polyphonic and monophonic modes, along with a classic legato mode, ensuring versatility in performance.

Root Bass includes a classic arpeggiator that emulates the feel of vintage analog synths, with features for filtering, noise modeling, and subtle modulation. The instrument also offers three output mix types, including overdrive with amp/cabinet impulses, classic tube amp, and UK guitar amp, enhancing its tonal character. Tape saturation and compression add warmth, while reverb impulses provide spatial depth.

With 19 articulations and 13 noise textures, Root Bass is designed for those looking to infuse their music with a distinctive, vintage-inspired bass sound. The combination of mechanical detail and analog warmth makes it suitable for genres influenced by 70s music, hip hop, and experimental electronica.
