Rich Bass Sounds — the Follow-up to a Classic!

Be ready for incredible bass tracks with Trilian, Spectrasonics' "Total Bass Module" plug-in. Inside, you'll find a huge core library of rich-sounding acoustic, electric, and synth basses — all really playable and immensely tweakable, so you can develop the right bass sound for your tracks. One cool feature in Trilian is its extensive "Round Robin" sampling, which helps to make bass lines with repeated notes sound natural and expressive, instead of mechanical. The follow up to the award-winning Trilogy software bass plug-in, Spectrasonics takes the low-end to new heights, with Trilian!

Trilian takes the enormously popular Trilogy to the next level. Loaded with enhanced versions of all of the original Trilogy bass sounds, Trilian is packed with tons of new acoustic bass, electric bass, and synth bass sounds — all unbelievably rich sounding, and ready to serve as the strong foundation your tracks have been needing.

Sepctrasonics based Trilian on their advanced STEAM Engine technology, first introduced in Omnisphere. What you get, are tremendous expression and realism — Trilian lets you sculpt and adjust all the right controls, to bring your bass tracks to live. Also, because Trilian and Omnisphere are based on the same engine, Spectrasonics made them fully compatible with one another. You can use any of the Trilian sounds right inside Omnisphere, so you can stay in the same environment as you develop everything from bass to melody to ambient pads and effects.

Trilian is all about giving you natural-sounding bass lines when you want them — though you can always take them in your own unique direction using Trilian's integrated FX racks. One feature to help give you those natural lines, though, is Trilian's extensive "Round Robin" sampling feature. When you play a bass line with repeated notes, Trilian plays subtly different samples — that way your tracks sound musical and dynamic.

You'll have no problem finding just the sounds you need. Trilian features Spectrasonics' state-of-the-art browser, which lets you navigate sounds by searching, browsing through attributes/tags, or flipping through images.

Sweetwater Advice

Mitchell Alpaugh
As a keyboard player, I know how frustrating it can be to settle for a sub-par bass sample. When I first heard Spectrasonics Trillian , I was completely blown away by the realism of the acoustic bass samples. All the nuances you'd expect from an upright bass are appropriately translated with your keystrokes. Even the singing fretless sent chills down my back! I would absolutely recommend this to any studio musician or the weekend warrior whose duties involve playing left hand bass.
