01Overview

Mosaic Bass is part of Heavyocity's Mosaic Series, which is built around layering foundational elements into cinematic textures. This instrument focuses on the lower register, combining sampled synths with organic attacks and noise layers. Its Mosaic Engine uses three channels, so producers can combine sources into bass sounds that range from rhythmic and sparse to dynamic and emotional. Snapshot presets give you a starting point before you build your own patches.

Sound Sources and Layering

Mosaic Bass draws on 110 different sources containing 1,094 samples. These are grouped into 35 synths, 10 subs, 35 drones, 10 noise layers and 20 attack layers. Each source can be combined across the Mosaic Engine's three channels, which is how the instrument builds its low-end textures.

The synth bass and attack layers are the core of the sound, with noise layers adding grit and movement. Because every element is designed to be layered, the same source can produce very different results depending on what it is paired with.

Workflow and Performance Controls

An intuitive sample browser helps you audition sources quickly. The built-in ARP makes it possible to build complex, rhythmic arpeggios from your layered patch. A MACRO knob gives you dynamic control over multiple parameters at once, so a single movement can shape several aspects of the sound.

The instrument is supplied at 3.04 GB uncompressed, or 2.34 GB on disk with Native Instruments lossless compression.
