78% off “AVA Bass Flow” by Harrison Consoles

Achieve A Rich, Full And Punchy Bass Sound Quickly And Easily!

Module Controls

• The Reset Button – resets all of a module’s parameters to their default states (not including RTA controls).
• The Solo Button – bypasses all processing outside of the module being soloed except for master controls (polarity, input and output trim).
• The In Button – toggles the enablement of each module. If disabled, a module’s processing is bypassed and its effects will not be heard.

Master Controls

The Master Control section at the bottom-right corner of the plugin window contains controls for switching input polarity, adjusting input & output trim, and setting the order of routing between elements. 

You can change the routing order by clicking and dragging a routing item to a new position. The arrows show the direction of signal flow from top to bottom.

The “ear” icon buttons to the right of the routing items indicate Router Listen points.

The Solo/Listen Clear button at the bottom of the Master Control section clears any active Routing Listen point as well as any modules that are soloed.

Processing Elements – Bass Character

The Bass Character is a unique EQ that follows the pitch of the note being played, allowing you to boost or cut the harmonics within each note and thus alter the actual character of the bass sound.

The Bass Character has two bands: one for for adjusting the Body of the note and the other for adjusting the Clarity. The corresponding band control “bubbles” on the graph are labeled “B” and “C” respectively.

The positions of the harmonics are marked by the vertical lines that run throughout the graph which are labeled 1 through 16 along the bottom (1 being the first harmonic or the fundamental frequency). When a note is played, the graph’s spectrum analyzer will show the energy present in each harmonic.

Processing Elements – Equalizer

The Equalizer module consists of a 5-band EQ with 2 additional filter bands, an Output Trim control, and an optional RTA display.

EQ Graph

The EQ Graph provides a visual display of the EQ curves and also allows for more direct “hands-on” control of the bands. Each band is represented by a “bubble” on the graph which can be used to adjust its parameters. Click and drag a band’s control bubble to adjust its Frequency and Gain.

EQ Controls

The EQ control sections below the graph allow for more advanced control over the bands’ parameters. Each of the 7 band control sections contain controls for the corresponding band’s Enablement, Shape, Frequency, Q, and Gain.

Directly to the right of this button is the band Shape selector. Clicking this will open a menu where you can select the EQ shape for the corresponding band. The available shape options for the bands and filters as follows.

• Bands 1-5: Low Shelf (12 dB/octave), High Shelf (12 dB/octave), Bell, Notch, Search
• Filters A & B: High/Low Pass (6, 12, 24, 36, 48 dB/octave), Low/High Shelf (12, 24, 36, 48 dB/octave), Wide Notch

The control sections also provide Frequency, Q, and Gain controls which can be adjusted by clicking and dragging their value labels or by typing new values directly into them.

EQ RTA

The EQ’s RTA (Real-Time Analyzer) offers a visual representation of the spectral characteristics of the signal being processed. The controls for the RTA can be found in the RTA section to the right of the EQ Graph.

Spectral Bass Compressor

The Spectral Bass Compressor is a multiband compressor designed especially for bass. It allows for applying compression selectively across 6 frequency bands focused in the lower end of the spectrum where bass notes mainly reside.

• The Knee Knob – controls the compressor Knee.
• The Release Knob – controls how long it takes the signal to return to an uncompressed state once it falls below the threshold.
• The Makeup Knob – trims the compressor’s output level up or down between -24dB and +24dB as needed for gain compensation.
• The EXT. KEY IN Button – near the top left corner of the compressor module enables the external key input when toggled on.

Chorus

The Chorus is an effect that can be used to boost overall presence and add some extra flare to a bass signal. It has Detune and Delay controls for dialing in the effect and a Mix control for blending it with the dry signal.

Extra features of the Harrison AVA-series plugins

• Momentary Bypass – bypasses the plugin for as long as it’s held. This is useful for auditioning A/B comparisons quickly.
• The Settings Button – reveals a pop-up menu where the window size and theme can be adjusted. It also contains a link to the plugin manual and version info at the bottom.
