An Easy To Understand Interface That Gives You Complete Control!

Introduction

Bass Master is a great sounding and simple to use plugin dedicated to giving you the best bass for your music. You’ll be able to get awesome bass that fits your track in no time at all.

Selecting Presets

Bass Master comes with over 350 mix-ready presets with a clean and simple UI, meaning it’s a breeze to dial in your ultimate bass tone. Click on the arrows to scroll through the presets, or click on the preset name to bring up the list of presets.

Presets are organised into folders which describe the sound as SIMPLE, LOW, SUB, HARSH, etc…

Global controls include Legato and Portamento settings with Glide time and a pitch bend range of up to 12 semitones.

Each preset comes with parameters ready-mapped to the three-slot mod wheel matrix, meaning that every patch is ready to modulate throughout your track. Spend some time previewing the presets to get an understanding of the range of sounds and programming techniques that Bass Master has to offer. Play with the modulation wheel on your keyboard, as all patches are setup to use this to modify the sound of the patch.

Saving Presets

If you have made changes to a factory preset, or created your own, you’re going to want to save it.

  • Save – will overwrite the current preset.
  • Save As – will give you the option to create and name a new preset, opening a box to enter preset name and preset folder.

(Note that you cannot overwrite a factory preset. If you press SAVE on a factory preset, the SAVE AS box will open where you can create a new user preset).

Controlling Bass Master

Bass Master, like any other instrument plugin, can be played with your MIDI keyboard and all parameters controlled by clicking and dragging with your mouse. There are some keyboard + mouse click inputs that will give you more control of the plugin.

FINE CONTROL OF PARAMETERS

Press CTRL + Mouse click and drag for fine control of any fader or knob.

RESET PARAMETER

Press ALT + Mouse click to reset any parameter to default value.

MIDI LEARN PARAMETERS

All knobs and faders can be mapped to your MIDI keyboard/controller. Right-click on the control to bring up the MIDI learn window

Layers & Filters – Shape Your Sound & Make It Uniquely Yours!

Layer Section

This is where you can select your sound sources. It’s divided into TOP LAYER and SUB LAYER. In most cases you want to have an ‘interesting’ sound with more frequency content in the TOP LAYER, and a ‘simple’, or ‘subby’ sound in the SUB LAYER, but you can load any sample into each layer for more creative sound design.

WAVEFORM SELECTION

To select a wave, click on the wave name and pick from the dropdown list. Press the arrows to move forward and backwards or the random icon to be given any random one of the 217 waveforms.

LAYER ENVELOPES

The Top Layer has a full ADSR envelope, to set the Attack, Decay, Sustain and Release of the layer, whereas the Sub Layer has just Attack and Release. When you play a note using both layers, the sub layers note length is always defined by how long you hold down a key, whereas you have more control with the top.

TOP LAYER SAMPLE START

The Top Layer has SAMPLE START control. This can be used in lots of creative ways to alter the sound of the wave. Some of the one-shots have lots of sound variety through the waveform, or you may want to remove the attack part of a percussive sound.

SUB LAYER OCTAVE

Use the OCT control to change the Sub layer octave from 0 to +/- 1 octave. This can be used to change the octave relationship between Top and Sub Layers. Note that some patches use this to different effect, so will sound higher or lower than other patches. You will need to play your MIDI notes up or down one octave on the keyboard to compensate.

Layer Mixer

Use the MIXER to balance the TOP and SUB Layers. Note that these level controls are applied to the signal before the Filter, Distortion and other FX, so the level will affect how the distortion sounds.

SUB DIRECT OUT

Press DIRECT OUT button to bypass the Sub Layer from Filter and all Layer FX. The Sub layer always goes through the Master FX Frequency booster.

Filter Section

The FILTER section is where you can start to shape your sound.

FILTER TYPE

Click on the drop down list to select any one of the 13 filter types on offer. There are high pass (HP), band pass (BP) and low pass (LP) filters with 6, 12, 18 and 24dB per octave.

PRE-DRIVE

Turn PRE-DRIVE up to fatten up your sound before it goes into the filter. It will add subtle harmonics, or quite a lot of dirt to the sound, but you can filter out the sound using the filter controls.

CUTOFF AND RESONANCE

These are perhaps the most important controls on any synth! Use them to remove and boost frequencies in the sound. CUTOFF controls the frequency at which the sound is filtered. RESONANCE will boost the signal at that cutoff point.

KEYTRACK

KEYTRACK is a switch that affects the way the filter CUTOFF frequency follows the keys that you are playing.

FILTER ENVELOPE

The FILTER ENVELOPE is used to make the filter CUTOFF move over time with a press and release of a keyboard note.

FILTER LFO

This is used to make the filter cutoff periodically move up and down.

Modulation Section

PITCHBEND AND GLIDE SETTINGS

The PITCH and GLIDE controls give you options on how to make your notes bend and slide. These are really useful for creating more wonky basslines.

MODULATION WHEEL SETTINGS

The modulation section contains settings for how your modulation wheel on your MIDI keyboard can control the sound of Bass Master.

Every preset in Bass Master has the modulation wheel setup, with some subtly changing the sound, and others completely transforming it. There are 3 destinations, meaning that the mod wheel can control up to 3 things, each by a different amount.

Layer FX

Bass Master has 3 FX engines that you can use to process either of the layers. For most bass sounds, you want a nice clean Sub layer (DIRECT OUT set to ON), so you don’t add effect to that layer, but you can add as much or as little FX to the Top layer as you like.

DISTORTION

  • DRIVE – sets how much effect there is and COLOUR adjusts the frequencies that come out of the distortion.
  • DESK, DRIVE & FUZZ – are different distortion models offering a different sonic character.
  • CRUSH – is a digital sample rate reduction model.
  • DUAL – is two distortion units combined to give even more nastiness!

CHORUS

CHORUS FX can be used to thicken sounds, detune and to make them wider. The four Chorus algorithms can be used to do just that.

REVERB SEND

3 Reverb algorithms offer a reverb with different flavours. BRIGHT, MID and DARK refer to the frequency content, so adjust depending on your taste.

Master FX Frequency Booster

This section can be used to add even more beef to your sound. Frequency booster is based around 3 bands of compression, Top, Middle, and Bottom (Hi, Mid and Low frequency).

  • "The variation is huge, pulsing and as contemporary as you’ll find anywhere, and breathed some proper 2018 clout into some tunes that were more 1985 at best, if we’re honest. You might think you have your bass sorted with other soft synths, but it’s amazing what a focussed instrument can do to your workflow, and producers from all genres will benefit from Bass Master. Outstanding."
