Best Bass Plugin?

DarkMatter · Post by **DarkMatter** » Fri Mar 02, 2007 5:03 pm

Im looking for a bass plugin that has a really booming atmospheric electronic sound. My friend has a deep impact pedal for his bass which creates the type of sound im looking for. Any suggestions?

Maybe if you posted a sample?

Descriptions of timbres can be so inadequate.

I like the junglist for the dirty basses, the moog modular for the modular basses and the claw for the 303.

That's a pretty intense pedal

The Akai SB1 Deep Impact is a Bass Synthesizer that creates bass synth tone based upon the notes generated by the bass guitar itself. This is not a MIDI synth like that of the Roland Guitar Synths. It is used to create bass phat bass tones by using a 4-oscillator synth and an analyzer circuit. The pitch detection circuit tracks the note you are playing and will convert the knob into a sine tone of which is used as the oscillators. You control the attack, decay, envelope depth, and sensitinity. As well as the filter cutoff, filter resonance and synth sound itself.

You can mix your bass' output with the synthesized bass for some real low enders. You must becareful not to play two low notes at the same time as it can sound a bit chaotic. The SB1 has 9 presets inlcuded. You can select between them by using the footswitch on the left in the above picture. You can also bypass the effect completely by hitting the button on the right.

It also includes a direct vs. effect balance control, a program level control, a synth level control and a noise gate. The noise gate is great for removing false triggers that can occur by slightly hitting the bass string or bumping it. The noise gate cuts off the input from the synth.

Features

* 4 oscillators for deep, complex bass sounds
* 9 presets that the user can overwrite
* Control Knobs and Parameters for attack, decay, envelope, depth, dynamics,
* Program Up footswitch to select presets
* Program Down jack allows cycle down through the presets
* bypass Button
* input and output level controls
* power supply Included

Erm, how 'bout recording your friend playing through the Deep Impact and playing back via Simpler or Sampler?
