SOFTWARE REVIEWS
Bassynth is definitely all about the bass as the name clearly suggests.
With 290 presets ranging from dirty distorted growls, low rumbling subs and synth basses, through to saturated 808's, filthy guitars and plucks.
The preset browser organises sounds by type, with clear graphics to make it easy for you to scan through as well as 200 wavetables.
There are plenty of tools on offer to shape your sound as needed using the Engine, Tone and Mix pages.
With 6 insert fx including EQ, filter, distortion, bitcrush, transient, compressor, chorus,
flanger and much more. Next up is it's powerful and dynamic XY Pad to blend and morph different parameters
with just a single movement. This can transform any sound from subtle little changes to big distorted gritty growls.
The sound design of this synth is phenomenal the amount of detail and work that has been put in speaks for itself.
Bassynth works on so many levels with a wide range of superb presets at your disposal and simple performance controls
to boot. It is brilliant for upfront electronic genres and cinematic styles.
You can also add the Motion Sequencer which can be easily set up for dynamic grooves with 36 preset sequence patterns with unique per lane length and rate settings.
Even if you want to delve deeper you can craft your own sounds using a endless supply of sources and plenty of
parameters that you can sink your teeth into. It will suit most, if not all your bass needs.
Runs in Kontakt Free Player or Kontakt version 6.1
This is definitely a recommended synth engine with a lot of bite!!!
