Wave Bass is an exotic bass collection for Ableton Live based on 128 switchable single-cycle analog waveforms and delivering 100 masterfully designed Live instruments.

In Wave Bass each sound is generated by a small 18 Kbyte file, a pristine analog single-cycle waveform with a size of 2048 samples. Thanks to the amazing interpolation quality of Live and to the skilful use all the Sampler/Simpler features, these atoms of sound allow to reproduce amazing simulations of vintage and modern analog synths characterized by incredible low-end and definition.

Switching the waveforms

Wave Bass allows to select on-the-fly the single-cycle waveforms simply by moving the “Wave Selector” macro control available in each patch. This knob scans through the 128 oscillators and allows to radically change the sounds without dragging new patches nor loosing the patch settings. Most of the included Instruments implement two Wave Selectors, making it possible to exponentially increase the possible sound combinations.

The 100 Bass Instruments are organized into 4 categories (Double – Octave – Pitcher – Splitter) characterized by specific Macro Controls. All the patches implement a parallel Sub-harmonic channel and share a special “Stereo Dynamo” FX to increase the warmth and the spatial image of the sounds.
