JD Basses by Cluster Sound
JD Basses is a multi-sample bass collection created with the glorious JD-800, the monumental digital synth released by Roland in the 1991. Digital, glorious, powerful. The true sound of ninetees.
Widely considered one of the best vintage digital synthesizers, the Roland JD-800 is an extremely flexible and powerful sound tank from the early ’90s. Its architecture consists of 4 individual sound layers featuring all the parameters available on the machine. A single patch can include (among other things) 4 oscillators, 8 LFOs, 12 envelopes and 4 multimode filters. The JD-800 has been used by 808 State, Ken Ishii, Mouse on Mars, Laurent Garnier, Underworld and many other popular artists.
Digital, glorious, powerful.
The JD-800 just sounds like it looks: big, impressive and complex. Covered in sliders and buttons, this majestic machine is actually an endless source of inspiration and can generate an extremely wide variety of sounds. Thanks to its PCM quality waveforms, the astonishing amount of parameters and the great sounding and characterful Time Variant Filter, the JD-800 can easily range from spectacular digital pads to very realistic analog bass & synth emulations. The JD-800 is the digital synthesis at its best and definitely an all time classic.
The Live version of JD Basses has been designed to perfectly fit into your Ableton Live. All the included devices can be directly installed in your “Packs” section and previewed when selected in the Live browser. They have also been organized in Live standardized categories so that you can find them also in the browser’s “Categories” section. Moreover, all the sounds included in JD Basses have similar perceived volumes and features 1 macro control template with volume compensation to avoid unwanted distortions.
The Kontakt version of JD Basses includes PRIMUS, a virtual instrument with an ultra-friendly interface and a solid set of synthesizer parameters. All the sounds included in JD Basses can be easily selected using the Waveform menu and then tweaked using 25 different filters with cutoff and resonance, one multishape LFO assignable to Filter, Volume and Pitch and two envelopes for filter and amplifier. PRIMUS implements also a Glide effect, a Unison with up to 4 stacked voices and a set of built-in effect
