The Ultimate Electric, Acoustic and Synth Bass Instrument NOW with syncable LFO's and other new features. Update now.
When you're ready to get serious about Bass, this
is the instrument! Trilogy is a programmable, sample-based sound module
plug-in, that integrates a massive 3 Gigabyte core library of hundreds
of brand new, remarkable Bass sounds, with a powerful user interface for
creating your own unique patches.
The real power of Trilogy lies within its layering concept. Beyond the
core library hundreds of incredible new Basses, every patch in Trilogy
has two layers that you can tweak individually. You can also immediately
mix and match any of the layers in the core library together, and edit
each one independently. Imagine the power of combining the sound of a
real Minimoog™ with a Fretless bass, or a Virus™ with a TB-303™,
or even adding a Juno™ sub-oscillator to an Upright Bass! There
are thousands of earthshaking combinations, and you'll never run out of
options.
Let's look at each of the three sections of Trilogy in detail, since each
one has some innovative features:
ACOUSTIC BASS
The highly detailed Acoustic Upright Bass is one of the highlights of
this instrument. Because of Trilogy's unique interface, you can get a
wide variety of gorgeous tones from this Bass. This is made possible because
the interface has separate control of the Neumann™ U-47 Tube Microphone
signal and the Direct Pickup signal, which was sampled through a vintage
Neve™ 1083 Console. This stunning sounding acoustic is chromatically
sampled, with multi-dynamic velocity switching. The hardest velocity in
every Bass patch in Trilogy brings in real bass glisses, similar in concept
to the idea Spectrasonics pioneered on the Hans Zimmer Guitar libraries.
An acoustic Martin™ Dreadnought Bass Guitar is also available in
the Acoustic section -perfect for those "unplugged" sessions!
Trilogy's innovative True Staccato™
technique lets you play repeated notes on the Acoustic and Electric basses
in real-time with a whole new level of realistic phrasing, and finally
allows for repeated notes that sound completely natural like a bass player,
and not like the dreaded "machine gun" sampler effect!
ELECTRIC BASS
The huge selection of Electric Basses are from all new, painstakingly
recorded sessions, and features classic 4, 5 and 6 string models, performed
in Fingered, Picked, Muted, Rock & Roll, Slapping, Ballad, Fretless
and R&B techniques through rare, custom-made tube preamps. Special
variations are presented including Harmonics, Glisses, Fuzz, Trills, FX
and thousands of Slides! Both Modern and Vintage "Old School"
Electrics are available, providing a wide array of tones for different
musical settings. All the patches are mapped the same way, so that one
sequence will work with any bass you select.
There are thousands of samples used in these instruments, mapped with
multiple dynamics for amazing expression. You don't have to "assemble"
Bass parts with Trilogy, it's extremely playable as a highly expressive
real-time instrument too!
To complete the picture, every Acoustic and Electric Bass in Trilogy has
a special "Finger Noise" release layer with release triggering,
that gives these basses amazing realism -perfectly simulating the fretboard
response of the real bass. When a note is released, the Finger Noise layer
triggers an appropriate noise sample from among hundreds of tiny fret
noises, subtle string scrapes, squeeks, x-notes, taps and mutes, which
add a user controllable "human" imperfection element to your
performance. You can also easily control how much of this effect you want,
since the noise effect is on its own layer that can be controlled from
the Trilogy Mixer.
SYNTH BASS
Trilogy is one of the most awesome Bass Synthesizers ever made!
Have you ever struggled with trying to fit your synth bass sounds to sit
in a track properly? The sound of Trilogy is not only ultra-fat, but it
sits great in a mix. That's because we've created high-resolution core
samples from legendary Analog Bass Synths like the Minimoog™, Roland
Juno 60™, Roland TB-303™, Roland SH-101™, Oberheim™
SEM, Moog Taurus™, OSCar™, Virus™, Yamaha CS-80™,
Arp Odyssey™ and 2600™, Studio Electronics SE-1™, Omega™
and ATC™ Tone Chameleon, Sequential Circuits Pro One™, the
mighty Moog Voyager™ and many others! Trilogy's multimode resonant
filters allow you total control over the sound, while still retaining
the original character and power of the classic analog instruments.
Each fully programmable layer has its own multimode resonant filters,
four LFOs, three envelopes, adjustable sample start and matrix modulation.
There's also an additional master filter for quick tone shaping.
In addition to gigabytes of high-resolution sampled vintage synth waveforms,
and thick multimode resonant filters for each layer, Trilogy has the rare
feature of smooth analog synth-style Legato triggering and Glide that
software samplers lack. This capability allows for Synth Bass sounds that
truely play like a vintage analog synth. This feature can also be used
with any of the Electric or Acoustic Basses, for unique hybrid Bass sounds
that you've never heard before!
Whether you're looking to anchor your mixes with a giant vault of amazing
Bass presets, or you're searching for a versatile instrument to create
your own unique Bass sounds…there's no other Bass instrument out
there with the tone, variety and flexibility of Trilogy -it's simply in
a class by itself.
