The tuned percussion brings some versatility to the sound palette. The included presets showcase some amazing deep and phat bass sounds (the video doesn’t do them justice really), great for Hip Hop, R&B, Drum & Bass, or any electronic music genre. With a strong focus on low end bass sounds, it features an improved sub-bass generator and sub-bass boost effects. But as a dedicated bass instrument, SubBoomBass includes a number of features that go beyond Predator.

Since the sound engine is based on the one in Predator (which I already have) I wasn’t sure this new synth would have that much more to offer. SubBoomBass has surprised me in a positive way. I know the video is a tad long (almost 10 minutes) but besides trying the demo for yourself this is probably the quickest way to get a good feel for what SubBoomBass does. Let’s take a look at some of the presets to get an idea of what SubBoomBass sounds like.

sine, saw, triangle, etc.), SubBoomBass also includes a number of sampled percussion and bass waveforms for its oscillators.

Some interesting things about SubBoomBass:

The sequencer and modulation panel can be switched (or hidden altogether, just like the FX panel).

2 FX sections with modulation matrix (can be modulated using MIDI from any of the synthesizer parts) and 24 effect types.Īlthough a bit more funky looking than I would prefer, the interface is quite clear: a presets section, oscillator 1 & 2, filter and amp panels in the top, and a play mode/pitch lfo section, a sequencer/modulation panel, and an FX panel in the bottom of the screen.

Step sequencer with 16 steps, swing function and slide function.

Filter routing with ‘serial’, ‘parallel’ and ‘split’ modes.

Additional filter 2 with cutoff control – 6dB, 12dB and 24dB LowPass or HighPass setting.

Analog modelled filter: 6dB LowPass and HighPass, 12dB, 18dB and 24dB LowPass and HighPass, 12dB and 24dB BandPass, 12dB and 24dB Notch, Comb and Vocal Filter.

Oscillators also feature PWM, sub-oscillator, FM/Ring modulation and oscillator sync.

2 oscillator synth engine (based on Predator) with additional sampled percussion, drum, fantasy and bass sounds.

This software instrument is great for Hip Hop and RnB but can also be used for Dubstep, video game music, film scores and more… With presets designed by the legendary Rob Papen and other guest artists, this dedicated bass synth will supply you with huge cone-rattling sounds that will devastate any music track.
