Details

Our first collaboration with brilliant engineer Jatin Chowdhury, this plugin is designed with ease-of-use in mind. Rather than using 3 or 4 different plugins for bass management, Bass Sculptor allows you to handle everything in one elegant and clean UI powered by slick, lightweight DSP.

Four functions in one simple UI

  • Subharmonic generator
    • True synthesis of sub-frequencies based on the input signal; not just a simple pitch-shifter or octaver
  • Bass Imager
    • Collapses low frequencies to mono using one of three processing modes, ideal for making club-friendly mixes
  • Bass EQ & Filter
    • Surgical high-pass and single-band EQ with both minimal and linear-phase modes
  • Bass Compressor
    • Highly-responsive compression of bass frequencies at up to 10:1 ratio
