Description :
Developed by Acustica in collaboration with the developer of the N4 SoundDrops library,
the graphite bass amp emulator is fully endorsed by GR Bass,
one of the most innovative and dynamic Italian manufacturers of bass amps and enclosures.Description
This is the first Acqua plugin in VST, VST3, AAX, AU formats that fully meets the needs of bassists,
and one of the most authentic and modern sounding bass amp plugins on the market today.
Graphite includes:
GR Bass One head emulation
Emulation of the AT 212 carbon fiber bass head (2×12″) sampled with four different classic microphones,
each selected and installed by pro audio experts.
Our goal was to accurately recreate the sound of the GR Bass One head combined with the AT 212 cabinet,
also made by GR Bass. The head was designed according to the “pure sound” philosophy,
providing realistic sound with natural transparency. The AT 212 is the lightest 2×12 bass cabinet
available in the world: it is part of the revolutionary AeroTech series and is an example of the incredible technical achievements
that GR Bass has achieved with its line of carbon fiber cabinets.
Now you can enjoy the signature GR Bass sound with an all-in-one plugin – our first plugin
designed exclusively for bassists. The Graphite plugin comes in a standard version and an alternative “ZL” (zero latency) version
that works great when tracking. It will require additional computing resources from you, but as a result, it will reduce latency,
which is very convenient if you need to play in real time.
With an intuitive single-screen interface, this plugin can adapt to any musical style,
delivering ultra-subtle bass tones for fingerstyle, pick, or slap bass. To fine-tune and enhance your sound,
you can use the powerful 4-band EQ, then add a bit of your DI
to the mix output using the plugin’s controls.
Graphite is precise, easy to use, and powerful enough to transform your studio from the ground up.
Head Features
Transparency is one of the main characteristics of the GR One solid-state head. It includes a 4-band EQ
that allows you to customize the sound to your needs, but that’s not all:
in addition to the usual bass and treble controls, two additional midrange EQs allow you to choose
from three center frequencies each. And to top it all off, deep and bright filters allow you to control
any extra richness and/or clarity you may need to achieve your own personal bass sound.
Cabinet Features
Compared to similar wooden cabinets on the market, the AT 212 Carbon Fiber Cabinet (2×12″)
has better focus, more detail, a richer sound, and more openness,
not to mention its significantly lighter weight. After a painstaking design process, intensive sampling
and optimization work (and invaluable input from the GR Bass team themselves), Acustica has managed to effectively capture the essence of
this one-of-a-kind bass cabinet with all its tonal nuances, all in one plug-in.
Key Features
• Elfo recording studios, with their high-class functional design, created an exciting atmosphere in the concert hall.
Excellent acoustics and natural, balanced reverberation in the frequency response helped to enhance the incredible sound of the sampled equipment.
• Precise, incredibly accurate sampling.
• Careful selection of four hand-picked microphones: American dynamic microphone (model 57), American ribbon microphone (model R10),
German FET condenser microphone (model 47) and German dynamic microphone (model 421).
• Carefully selected microphone positions during the sampling process.
• Product optimization during the development phase to ensure low CPU consumption;
interacting with the plug-in naturally with minimal latency, without compromising sound quality.
Installation :
1. Download and install Framework .
2. Install plugins.
• Select a folder with the required plugin format. Move the selected folder to the appropriate system directory.
