Spectre Digital have released release Singularity, a virtual bass guitar, available at the intro pricenof $90.00, increasing to $140.00 after the promotion.
Singularity is the result of years long effort in research and development to create the best bass guitar virtual instrument in the world.
The bass we used is a Kiesel Precision 5-string with Jazz pickups-to our knowledge this is the first Kiesel bass to be sampled for a virtual instrument.
You can switch between pick and finger articulation, as well as string noise and ghost notes that can be programmed in to make your bass sound even more realistic.
Singularity comes with two different distortion types and 5 high-quality Cab simulations, as well as the ability to load your own IRs right into the plugin.
We have also included other quality-of-life features such as pitch correction, humanization, and dynamics control slider that gives you all the control you need to craft the perfect bass tone for your music.
From extreme metal to pop, Singularity was designed to be the perfect bass solution that fits right into the pocket of your mix with ease.
Spectre Digital knew that this needed to be an amazing bass… one that could do anything and everything. So they hunted for the best of the best and got their hands on a Kiesel Custom 5 String bass. Let us all drool collectively at the specifications of this fine piece of craftsmanship:
- Kiesel Precision with Jazz Pickups
- 5 Strings
- 34” Scale
- 20 Stainless Steel Jumbo Frets
- Alder Body
- Maple bolt on Neck
- Ebony Fretboard
- D’addario Nickel wound strings
Singularity was carefully crafted in order to be usable in every situation, which is why we took the time to exhaustively sample both pick and finger articulations.
Playing with a pick will get you that intense attack and percussive sound that you need in metal and rock that gives your mix that huge, 3D sound. (Think Meshuggah, Slipknot, and System of a Down… all bands with huge bass tones!)
Alternatively, if you want to recreate the bass sounds from legends like Steve Harris (Iron Maiden), John Myung (Dream Theater), or even Victor Wooten, you can use the finger articulations to get a softer, more round attack.
For extra realism, we took the time to properly sample ghost notes and string noise articulations. Just program them in where you need them to give your song that extra bit of realism.
Singularity already sounds real from the moment you insert it into your session, but we wanted to ensure you had as much control as possible.
To achieve this realistic sound, we sampled up to 5 velocity layers with 8 round robins for EACH note. And if you are using the pick articulation, its double! It took forever, but as you can hear, it was worth it.
Additionally, we created a humanization knob so that you can have more control of your dynamics and timing. The more you turn the humanization knob, the more dynamic the bass performance will become. At the same time the looser the timing of each note played will be.No human can play in the same perfect timing and dynamics, so why should your virtual instrument?
With the pitch wheel function in your DAW (or just play it in with a MIDI controller) you can create bends.
Singularity is available to PC and Mac users (VST3, AU, AAX and standalone).
