This diminutive model was released in 1970 in response to the growing trend amongst artists of incorporating fairly unwieldy modular synths into their productions and live performances: by taking only the most important parts of a modular synth and placing them in a compact frame with an incredibly intuitive interface (look, no patch cords!), a legend with a sound entirely its own was born. First and foremost, putting this list together it became clear just how much of an (ironically) large shadow the Minimoog casts over plugin synths today. “Starting at the beginning of the production process, what are the very best VST plugin sources for bass that will give every producer the best possible odds of creating successful bass elements in their chosen styles and genres?”Īs is now tradition here at GTPS, we’d like to mention some of the analogue/hardware classics that are still such an influence on the software instruments, effects and processors we all now use every day. My thinking for this list was simple: yes, while processing such as compression, saturation and EQ, not to mention the overall construction of a mix and where the bass parts sit in that context are important, what are the best originating sources for electronic or virtual acoustic bass sounds?

With any if these plugins to hand, you’ll be able to make the most of all the tips and techniques discussed in the Ultimate Guide, and be well on your way to crafting the perfect basslines, sub-bass and general low-end goodness that your tracks deserve. All of these VST instruments represent the pinnacles of sound quality, character, usability and fun in each of their particular approaches to bass sounds (and some of them will handle any task you care to throw at them). Whether you’re after biting Dubstep attack, rich analogue fatness or the expressive feel of a real string bass instrument, we’ve got you covered. To mark the release of the new Get That Pro Sound Ultimate Guide to Bass, we’ve put together a roundup of our favourite synth plugins for use when creating everything from warm to sharp to just plain awesome basslines and sounds.Īs always, it’s been a challenge to keep it down to 10, but this final selection is for us the absolute cream of the crop.
