03In depth

Bass Sounds and Character

Excite Audio says the samples were recorded from professional electric bass players using a range of bass guitars and recording techniques, from direct DI signals to studio amping. The sound design team then combined the recordings in the Phrase Player and processed them with the instrument's built-in effects and macros.

The library is organized into seven preset categories. Clean presets are smooth with no distortion, while Processed presets use heavier effects. Rhythmic presets focus on percussive slap bass, and Low Energy presets are slower and more spacious.

Workflow, Controls and Effects

Samples are synced to the host BPM, and 14 keys spread across two octaves trigger the sounds. White keys play bass samples and loops, while black keys change playback speed and pitch or trigger sequences.

Four macros (Tube, Digital, Sub-EQ and Realism) control the effect chain. Three effect modules, Speaker, Filter and Dynamics, can be rearranged. You can also import up to 112 of your own samples and swap them at any time.
