Korg MS20
The Korg MS20 VST plug in draws on the unique Korg MS20 analogue synthesizer. The MS20 is perfect for analogue sounding, serious, warm, wobbing bass lines.
It provides a complete possessing patch panel which gives everyone a huge amount of capabilities, by linking out oscillators to certain ranges you may make a nice selection of noises, among the more renowned could be linking the LFO with the cutoff to get this cliched dub-step modulated bass noise.
The best thing about the Korg MS20 may very well be the retro character it gives your own audio, the original keyboards digital version truly does an admirable job of emulating all the subtleties you get with the old classic analogue sound.
Native Instruments Massive
Native Instruments Massive must be essentially the most popular VST plugin available for forming bass sounds, and deservingly so, the 3 generation devices offer you a large amount of overall flexibility when generating sounds.
The entire mix of wave-forms every different generator can create means that you can create voices of an analogue and digital nature, or possibly a mixture of both of them. The way in which you’ll be able to administer filters and also envelopes on the generators is actually very imaginative as well as instinctive, you only need to drag which ever oscillator or envelope right onto the specific knob that you need to apply it, a ring of the identical colour will then appear surrounding the knob and you may simply just move it for any thresholds you’re looking for.
Massive is definitely perfect for making individual personalised sounds which is the reason I really like it, but it also comes with an massive library of presets which you can pick from and modify. If I needed to decide on just one single VST plugin suitable for bass it would be NI Massive.
ReFX Nexus
Nexus from reFX is a decent VST designed for creating a certain form of music, much of the presets sound kind of ‘euro-trance’ which generally isn’t the sound I personally go after.
Most of the sounds you can get using Nexus are wonderful unless you mind just using the presets, it does provide you with some basic features to govern the end result, the fundamentals like a filter, reverb coupled with delay, additionally, it offers features that include an arpeggiator which will be suitable for composing those twinkly arpeggios also something reFX named the ‘trance gate’ which lets you slice and dice the main audio in to a stuttery style depending on various factors.
All in all Nexus is decent synth if that’s the kind of music which suits you, but it really does not have the the functionality so that you can combine generators and create individual customized sounds yourself.
ReFX Vanguard
Vanguard is kind of like the Nexus in the manner it will simply will provide you with presets coupled with filter, delay together with re verb without being able to manually modify or blend the generators. Once more Vanguard possess a pretty ‘trancey’ sound to it that might or might not possibly be to your own preference. It’s great for what it does, helps you to easily generate bass along with leads however it is not too impressive when you’ve got a sound in your mind and you’re simply hoping to get out.
Vanguard has similar manipulation features as the Nexus, that is the apreggiator also trance gate. In my very own working experience Vanguard is basically a Nexus using a somewhat different sample catalogue.
If I was forced to purchase one I would purchase the nexus, nevertheless there’s no benefit in splashing out for both of these since they are very nearly the same plugin.
