Product details
Retrograde Bass recreates the sound of session bass players from the late 60’s. Warm, analog, and vintage is where Retrograde Bass starts, but a whole host of tools can take the sound well into the future. From 1968 to 2068, Retrograde Bass is truly A Bass Odyssey.
RETROGRADE BASS IS A VIRTUAL INSTRUMENT PLUG-IN FOR NATIVE INSTRUMENTS’ FREE KONTAKT PLAYER, COMPATIBLE WITH ALL MAJOR DAWS (LOGIC, PROTOOLS, CUBASE, FL STUDIO AND MORE).
DIRECT, RIBBON, DYNAMIC, TUBE
The Direct signal gives you a clean, even sounding tone which we use in the default settings for the instrument.
The vintage Ribbon mic signal gives you a rich, warm tone with a lot of low-mid information.
The Dynamic mic position has more low end information that the ones before it, and adds a nice bite.
The Tube mic signal has a lot of attack and a more aggressive, forward sound.
1968 -> 2068
The “Warped” signal path takes the essence of the original bass samples and processes them resulting in a lo-fi and characterful sound. Through manipulation, warping, bending, and shifting, this unique path stands out on its own or adds texture to any of the microphone positions.
RETROGRADE / FUTUREGRADE
In addition to offering a wide range of microphone positions, you have the flexibility to blend in a synth signal. We’ve provided 3 synth wave forms: Square, Sawtooth and Sine wave.
This allows you to either add some low end sub to your mics (using the LP filter), or double it up at full fidelity to create an acoustic/synth hybrid sound.
