BASSYNTH - Organic Low End.

[martinjuenke]

Something VERY special is on the way. Wave Alchemy's biggest production to date...

An entirely new kind of Bass Engine for the creation of organic, modern, ground-breaking bass tones.

A powerful hybrid instrument plugin driven by a diverse and creative library of lovingly recorded multi-sampled Sound Sources, Oscillators and scannable Wavetables.

Filthy Analogue synths & Gritty Modular Bass, Designed Bass Guitars, Epic Live Brass sections, Scannable Wavetables, Processed Low Winds & Strings. Tortured Percussion & Mallets, The deepest 808s and Growling subs, Custom Built instruments, Organic layering tools, Foley, noise & transients, Heavily processed acoustic instruments, and much more...

The description sounds a wee bit like 'sub boom bass'. I bet it'll be a game changer anyway.

Hey Aloysius!

It's Dan here from Wave Alchemy. I hope all is well.

BASSYNTH is actually very different to Sub Boom Bass in many ways. The main one being that 4 Voice slots (or oscillators if you will), can load any one of over 800 multi-sampled and beautifully designed Sound Sources, which have been recorded in some of the best studios in the world. In addition, it does include Wavetables (scannable) too (200 of them - which can also be loaded into any of the 4 Voices). But what we're most excited about with this project is most definitely the diverse and powerful library of multi-sampled sounds, and the way that any 4 Sources or Wavetables can be mixed / blended and morphed to create very creative and organic patches.

It's a bit of a long read, but you can read the Sound Source list below, which lists all of the instruments used in the creation of BASSYNTH:

Looking good!

Do you perhaps have any plans on providing discounts for owners of your previous products?

[wave alchemy]

Here's a quick audio demo to give you an example:

http://www.wavealchemy.co.uk/demos/Part ... spense.wav

This is just a single BASSYNTH preset. A Live Brass ensemble, Analogue Synth & Deep 808 Sub are blended together in one instance of BASSYNTH - using 3 of its 4 Voices. Other than that, I just used unison on the synth Voice only, and some modulation.

[simmo75]

Will it be a Kontakt Player library or Full version?

Looking good!

Thanks!

Absolutely! It's important for us to reward and take care of our existing customers. It's something we've always done and will continue to do. And so, as with other major product releases, we will be providing a special discount to those who own previous WA products. As well as an intro price that will be available to all.

And... We will also be giving away a Moog Sub 37 Tribute Edition analogue synth to one lucky person, who will be chosen at random from the first 1,000 people who purchase BASSYNTH

Price?

Hi Dan, it seems that you finally managed to break free from Kontakt. Congratulations
I really hope that we can now finally load our own soundsources in your new Bassynth (samples, wavetables).

[Digivolt]

Love the quality of Wave Alchemy samples so looking forward to see how this synth turns out!

[nordickvr]

...
It's Dan here from Wave Alchemy. I hope all is well.
[long post]

Hi Dan.
Indeed, sounds promising!
May have missed it but, what is the disk space taken?

[Aloysius]

The description sounds a wee bit like 'sub boom bass'. I bet it'll be a game changer anyway.

Hey Aloysius!

BASSYNTH is actually very different to Sub Boom Bass in many ways...

That's an impressive list.

[wave alchemy]

Price?

The intro price will be £119, but we'll be giving existing customers an additional 25% off on top of that

[wave alchemy]

Hi Dan.
Indeed, sounds promising!
May have missed it but, what is the disk space taken?

The Disk space needed will be 10GB. There's close to 20GB of (uncompressed) material included, but with compression the disk space needed is approx 10GB
