Description : 66-Basses is the first edition in our new Legion series – a line of instruments designed to solve special problems in epic cinematic music.
66-Basses is the largest symphonic bass ensemble ever recorded. Once in a lifetime, 66 professional double bassists gathered in a large modern concert hall. We removed all the chairs and partitions in the hall – to achieve maximum reverb, which exceeds 3 seconds. This is the same hall we used for Majestica, Lacrimosa, Acoustic Grand Ensembles, CAGE and many other instruments.
66-Basses is a professional cinematic bass. We assembled a 66-piece symphonic double bass ensemble in our favorite modern recording hall, Zlin. The ensemble was created by bringing together professional bassists from 9 different European countries.
66-Basses contains all the standard articulations (sustain types, short notes, arcs, effects, etc.) and a large set of new articulations (dynamic waves, BPM-based ostinato, Bridge FX, etc.).
We also spent the better part of the month developing 50 unique analog synth ensembles. There are 10 different microphones in the library, including the new Binural microphone, which gives you a special audio experience from virtual reality sessions. 4 mics (Mixed, Decca, Far and Wide) and 5 close mics for more detailed sound.
66-Basses also features a new 3D user interface with a new 4-part modulation engine and a whole dedicated BPM-based Ostinatos section.
