What separates a digital instrument from a mechanical one is the sound and feel of striking a key and sensing a mechanical actuator working the string or tine or electric contact. That unmistakeable, satisfying *thunk* is at the root of this new instrument.
Constructed from a multisampled vintage analog synthesizer, physical actuators, noise artifacts, and amp/cabinet impulses, ROOTBASS recaptures the sound of classic bass keyboards, electric basses and bass synths from the 60s and 70s: smoky tines, fuzzy basses, funky clavs, electric fuzzbox pianos, deep synth arps, broken rock organs, and old noise boxes that never existed yet sound like they should have.
As with all pornofonic instruments, noise and dirt are integral to the instrument’s character. ROOTBASS has a distinctive sound that feels solid, real, and deliciously mechanical. For Kontakt 5.8.1+
