Industrial Strength Samples has released Vintage Synth Bass, a collection of bass sounds records from synthesizers like the Arp 2600, Juno 60, and Korg MS20.

Industrial Strength Samples is back with another dynamite production pack. We went in the studio and sampled some of our favorite Bass sounds from our vast synth collection. So get ready,

Our design team went on a mission to create a serious collection of classic bass sounds used in electronic music over the last few decades. Knowing that these rare synths are out of reach to many people due to cost and availability, this pack can be an essential tool for anyone looking to capture the real vintage analog bass sounds used in classic traxx.

This serious studio weapon delivers 20 bass instruments meticulously recorded in 24 bit Wav audio, each sound has been tweaked and key grouped for ease of use while using our bass sounds. We also tossed in the Midi files from the demo so you can easily use the baselines in the demo with no fuss.

The sample pack is available from Loopmasters for £12.95 GBP.

The much hyped Roland AIRA is now live – packed with classic sounds and modern features

February 14, 2014 · Posted in Uncategorized · Comments Off on The much hyped Roland AIRA is now live – packed with classic sounds and modern features 

Roland-Aira-Line

 

Roland has officially announced its new series of AIRA products:

  • The AIRA TR-8 Rhythm Performer – a $499 drum machine;
  • The AIRA TB-3 Touch Bassline – a $299 bassline synth;
  • The AIRA VT-3 Voice Transformer – a $199 vocal effects processor and vocoder; and
  • The AIRA System-1 Plug-Out Synthesizer – a $599 virtual analog synthesizer that can transform into a variety of classic synth, and act as a hardware controller for a new line of software synthesizers.

The AIRA series is based on Roland’s newly-developed Analog Circuit Behavior (ACB) which the company says faithfully captures the sound of some of Roland’s most revered classics. In developing the AIRA line, Roland modeled classic circuits, using original design specs, consultation with original product engineers, and a detailed part-by-part analysis of each analog circuit, using pristinely-archived Roland drum machines and synthesizers.

The TR-8 Rhythm Performer is a ‘performance rhythm machine’. It offers the sounds of Roland’s classic TR-808 and TR-909, 4 audio outputs and greater tweakability than the originals.

TB-3_front_transparent-e1392360761980-640x446

 

The TB-3 Touch Bassline is based on the classic Roland TB-303.

The new TB-3 Touch Bassline uses Roland’s ACB modeling to recreate the classic bassline sound and offers controls that will be familiar to users of the original. But the TB-3 also offers a large touch control surface that streamlines sequence programming and introduces new performance options.

The VT-3 Voice Transformer is designed for creating heavily processed vocal sounds, with pitch and formant shifting, vocoder effects and more

SYSTEM-1_front_transparent-copy-e1392362036438-640x379

 

The System-1 Plug-Out Synthesizer is a new keyboard that can transform into a variety of types of synths.

It’s very hands-on and knobby, but the key feature is the synth’s Plug-Out technology, which lets the System-1 control – and even host – software recreations of classic Roland synths, with no computer connected.

Pricing and Availability:

  • The TR-8 Rhythm Transformer will retail for a street price of $499;
  • the TB-3 Touch Bassline has a street price of $299;
  • the VT-3 street price will be $199; and

Hands on with the Novation Bass Station II

August 28, 2013 · Posted in Uncategorized · Comments Off on Hands on with the Novation Bass Station II 

ProAudio creates a short track while exploring the features of the new Novation Bass Station II. Check out this video demonstrating the flexibility and mobility of this affordable digitally controlled analog monophonic synthesizer.

From Novations Website:
“Bass Station II is an analogue mono-synth based on the classic original Bass Station but re-worked for the 21st century. It has two filters, two oscillators plus a third sub-oscillator, patch save and a fully analogue effects section. Add a step sequencer, arpeggiator, full sized keys and a powerful modulation section and you have the makings of a synth that is built for bass, but capable of so much more.”

Joseph Colmenero shows you a fast and easy way to create your own custom drum sounds using the Novation Bass Station II analog synthesizer.

Making the wobble bass sound effect is as easy as 1-2-3. This is an unnecessarily long video tutorial showing how its done.

B-Line 303 – new acid bass sound synth

June 13, 2013 · Posted in Uncategorized · Comments Off on B-Line 303 – new acid bass sound synth 

Sonic XTC lets us know that their new monophonic bass line synthesizer, B-Line 303, captures the vibe and sound of classic EDM and Acid techno music synthesizers from the 70’s and 80’s. They say that B-Line 303 can easily dial up the classic Acid bass sound with all the squelch and buzz of the original classics, giving producers the unique ability to shape their sound with sub oscillators, distortion, distortion intensity, and built in Waveshaper unit.  B-Line 303 comes with 14 presets to get you started but has room for up to 64 user presets. In order to create the entire Acid bass sound experience, B-Line 303 comes equipped with a Stereo “Doppler” Chorus effect and a Stereo Echo effect.

In the beginning of the song B-Line 303 sounds like your standard Roland TB 303. In the middle of the song it sounds like a Roland SH-101. At the end of the song the B-Line 303 gives you a glimpse of why we think it is special! Only used Deep 606, Deep Mono, and B-Line 303 to create this track. Side chain compression on the Deep 606 kick only external effect used.

  • 64 user presets
  • 14 custom presets

Colorful new bass synthesizer – Bolsa Bass

December 2, 2012 · Posted in Uncategorized · Comments Off on Colorful new bass synthesizer – Bolsa Bass 

Critter & Guitari has introduced Bolsa Bass – a new bass synthesizer.

The keyboard may be tuned over a 1 octave range by turning the knob second from right. Volume is controlled by the right-most knob. The function of the remaining two left knobs depend on what mode is selected.

The synthesizer modes provide elemental monophonic bass sounds, great for all kinds of musical scenarios. From classic filter sweeps to simple and pure tones, lush FM, and even a stretchy tuned delay which makes great string like drones.

The built in sequencer lets you quickly create bass lines with the touch of a button. With MIDI in and out you can synchronize your sequences with other devices. The Bolsa Bass also sends and receives note messages so you can use it as a sound module or simple controller.

The Bolsa Bass has a built-in sequencer, full MIDI capabilities, and six modes:

  • Circle Ramp
  • Sawtooth Ramp
  • Analog Style
  • Filter Envelop
  • FM Pad
  • Bass Delay

Here’s a set of audio demos:
