Description : Drumsound & Bassline Smith is proud to present Parallax, a new and revolutionary bass engine for use with Native Instruments KONTAKT v5.7+
Drumsound & Bassline Smith, one of the UK’s most successful drum and bass artists, have taken time out of their busy schedules to manually create, code and develop the first in a series of exciting instruments for Kontakt. Combining all the knowledge, studio skills and dance music production experience they have accumulated over the past 20+ years, this new solution is the next logical step for these prolific producers after creating presets for Sugar Bytes, Waves and Loopmasters, to name but a few. .

Parallax is a 3 oscillator synthesis beast that allows the user to easily create unlimited pre-made bass sounds using either the provided samples or by importing their own WAV files by renaming the saved samples. Once samples are selected, they are played in parallel with each main oscillator having its own XY pad (new feature in Kontakt v5.7). The main oscillators have 24 filters and 9 LFO settings to use and create movement in order to shape a sound that is fully automated in your DAW.

Besides most of the things you would expect from a high-end synth, Parallax has its own surprises. By cleverly using Kontakt’s multi-mode universal filter, you can have almost any type of filter. Along with the XYZ pad you have a really powerful and exciting filter, but with QUICK ENVELOPE it rises to the level of NEXT. This editable curve allows the user to record 1 second movement from the XYZ panel and then using the “ENV EDIT” button can draw their own filter shapes on the XY and Z axis and then play them back using the “PLAY” button, crazy and exciting filtered morph.
