Enormous, wide, emotive stereo sounds
All Monoment Bass source material was sampled in stereo from rare, high-end boutique synths; and it delivers enormous, wide, emotive sounds. For fine-tuning your stereo image, Softube included great-sounding effects, including a purpose-built multiband compressor and a spatialization tool. Monoment Bass is packed with meticulously curated presets designed by Madison Mars, Vandalism, Sample Tools by Cr2, WA production, Black Octopus, and Function Loops; these are production-ready right out of the box, or can serve as starting points for further sonic explorations.
Modern instrument for modern music
Working with sound designer and rare synth collector Tobias Menguser, Softube set out to nail the essence of awesome-sounding, weighty bass parts for modern music. From pop to hip hop to EDM, the bass occupies a lions share of the spectrum and takes on much of the heavy lifting, production-wise. So with Monoment Bass, Softube provided a meticulously designed and curated arsenal of premium sounds, and paired them with a user-friendly synth architecture and high-quality analog effects for cutting-edge, mix-ready bass in seconds.
Complexity without the complexity
Monoment Bass gives you a two-layer source section, with all-stereo sources that offer lush, complex, evolving sounds. Nothing is ever static, and all the sources were sampled in triplicate, so you have three different samples per key for added realism and life. The sounds leap out of the speakers and authoritatively dominate any track. Right out of the box and with a minimum of tweakery, Monoment Bass rocks authority and weight, power and character. The onboard filter, LFO, and amp are designed for musicians – not synth geeks.
Dirt, noise, and magic
Use the Aging knob to add analog-style imperfections to your bass sound. A noise source is available at all times, with multiple organic noise options, to add crunch to the attack and grit to the meat of your tone. Dial in analog distortion, ambience, and tone-shaping in the effects section, and you’ll be delighted by the range of colorful, vibrant sounds your track can accommodate. Monoment, by virtue of its high source quality and painstakingly designed sculpting options, becomes much more than a mere "instrument" in your mix. It’s the very heart and soul.
