Substance
Powerful Bass Engine
A completely new breed of bass
Substance is a deeply produced bass engine combining heavily processed electric and acoustic basses, full live brass sections, huge polysynths, the dirtiest analog synths, insane sound design and much more into single patches. The focus is not realistic emulation, it’s about creating new & powerful sounds that push the boundaries of bass.
The Power of Three
A trifecta of heavily processed sound sources layer onto one another in a demonstration of earth-moving low end awesomeness.
How Low Can You Go?
From bass guitars to deep, rumbling drones, no stone was left unturned in our quest for sounds that go real low.
Doing the Most
In addition to three symbiotic sound layers, the SUBSTANCE engine boasts an advanced arpeggiator, flux control, and front-page macro sliders to deepen the experience without sacrificing simplicity.
