Spectrasonics Trilogy Total Bass Module is now shipping, last weeks (removed) announcement was slightly premature...

The Ultimate Electric, Acoustic and Synth Bass Instrument. 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.
