01Overview

Dirty Analogue is an expansion pack for Bass Master, the sample-based bass synth from Loopmasters Plugins. It adds 78 new waveforms and 105 presets built from recordings of vintage and modular synthesizers that were run through hardware distortion pedals and driven into analogue desks. The developer describes the sounds as crunchy acid blips, fizzy mid-range basses, drones, crushed subs and harmonic-rich lows, and says the pack is suited to DnB, techno, house, bass music and dark ambient.

Sound Character and Waveform Types

The waveforms in Dirty Analogue are grouped into four families: 21 complex sounds, 13 high bass sounds, 21 low bass sounds and 23 mid bass sounds. Loopmasters says all of them were recorded from vintage hardware and modular synthesizers, then processed through distortion pedals and analogue desks for an overdriven character.

Because the pack layers over Bass Master's existing stock sounds, you can add gritty overtones to sounds you already use rather than starting from scratch. The developer positions it as a way to bring analogue saturation into digital bass parts.

Preset Categories for Bass Design

The 105 presets are organized into categories, including 21 simple, 8 sub, 10 swaggy, 11 low, 9 mid, 18 harsh, 6 smooth, 13 modulated, 7 percussive and 2 miscellaneous presets. The harsh and modulated groups are the largest of the more aggressive or movement-driven types, while the sub and low categories cover heavier bottom-end work.

This breakdown makes it easier to pick a starting point by role, whether you need a clean sub, a distorted mid-range bass or a moving texture.
