Sam Spacey, the producer behind the multi-award-winning Epica, presents Epica Bass – a dedicated analogue bass synth library obsessively sampled from a large collection of all-star classic analogue synths and modulars.

No emulations or plugins were used in the recording of Epica Bass as Sam believes that to truly capture the saturated harmonically rich textures that true analogue synthesis brings, you have to keep the recording chain as purely analogue as the source synths themselves.

How Does Epica Bass Synth Work?

Using various Sample Start Point modulation destinations, Epica Bass gives you control over the original sampled synths filter rather than using emulation filters. With that said Sam spacey has also included six of Native Instruments analog modelled filters from Kontakt 5 for your use.

With 26,657 24bit mono samples weighing in at 7GB, Sam Spacey has given these classic synths the attention to detail normally reserved for classical instrument libraries. Multiple round robins, multi velocity samples and long hand edited loop points (where used) ensure that the full character of these classic synthesisers were captured as faithfully as possible.

With 625 Epic presets and an interface that begs to be manipulated into your own creations, Epica Bass will give years of use as your main source of Bass sound.

What People Think About 65% off “Epica Bass” by Sam Spacey (Free Kontakt Player)

  • "Epica Bass is an absolute triumph. I'm not prone to analogue elitism, but I have to say that these are some of the most convincing analogue bass sounds I've heard in software. There are some truly awesome presets offered, and the depth of sound, and the way the sounds seem to respond under the fingers, is very impressive. However much work has gone into Epica Bass to capture that 'analogue' vibe has, to my ears at least, paid off big time. Epica Bass lives up to its name. I think I've found my new 'go to' source for all things synth, analogue and bassy."

Suitable for everything from EDM to krautrock and more experimental stuff, it’s approachable and easy to work with, and offers plenty of customization options. Best of all, it’s very reasonably priced so it’s not likely to break the bank."

  • "To be honest, I never been a fan of sampled analog sounds because samples never capture the full dynamics and the nuances of analog synths. Well, Sam Spacey hit the ball out the park with Epica Bass because he manage to capture all those nuances and pack them into multiple samples. I almost felt like I was playing a real analog synth."

  • "Epica Bass is a user friendly bass mod that fills in the gaps in your mix. I've only had it for a few weeks but already it's one of my go-to synths when you want to use something simple that's less taxing on your creativity"

  • "First of all I had to say that I was sceptical, not another bass synth. But now after spending some time with Epica Bass I have discovered the full potential. It is a synth that is way beyond a normal bass library and it can easily create what ever kind of sounds you need. “I like it a lot and it fits really well in the mixes. The fx section is absolutely fantastic. I think the name Epica Bass doesn't do it justice since it is so much more than a bass thing”

  • "You can never have enough synth basses. And certainly not if they are so large and the basses sound like they do in this library. A lot of attention has been paid to the authentic sound of the original synthesizers As far as I’m concerned, this is a very successful addition to Epica."

  • "Absolutely a go-to synth for those multi sampled analogue basses to properly take care of the guts of your subs. Using it in every track at the moment. Very useful indeed!"

    John B

    D&B/Electronic Music Producer

  • "Epica Bass is very reasonably priced, and a well-made, robust sampler instrument. It's simple enough to keep you productive but has the depth and ability to really carve your own sound. The quality of the sound is very high and sonically rich, with most pre-sets being strong and inspiring."
