With its comprehensive design, our Trilian Total Bass Module® brings many different types of Bass together into one extraordinary-sounding virtual instrument. Trilian has long been recognized as the most versatile bass virtual instrument available and has become an industry standard. Whether you need production ready sounds or prefer to carefully craft your own tones, Trilian is the ultimate bass tool for serious producers.
Trilian is the successor to Spectrasonics' award-winning Trilogy bass instrument, offering deeper control of musical expression and much greater flexibility of sound shaping. Trilian's 34GB library is 10-times the size of Trilogy and features all new acoustic, electric and synth basses the size of Trilogy. Over sixty different 4, 5, 6 and 8 string Electric basses are presented in fingered, picked, fretless, slapped, tapped, and muted technique variations. Version 1.5 has added many of Omnisphere's powerful synthesis functions as well.
The Custom Controls presented for each Patch allow you to go far beyond the original sound. The intuitive interface includes useful performance controls and high-quality creative effects processing specially crafted for each Patch. Hundreds of included Patches showcase the remarkable versatility and ability to dramatically customize these iconic sounds to your music.
Unique subtleties have been deep sampled, including legato and glide articulations, mechanical noises and release overtones to bring these sounds to a whole new level of authenticity. Trilian’s stunning Acoustic Bass is one of the most detailed instruments Spectrasonics has ever released, with 4 audio channels and over 21,000 samples to create this single instrument! All of this puts a depth of realism into performances that is truly inspiring.
Greatly Enhanced Arpeggiator
As a bonus for Omnisphere users, Trilian integrates fully as a satellite instrument within the Omnisphere® interface, allowing the exploration of endless new sonic possibilities and combinations.
Trilian now also includes an incredible library of over 200 unique patches specially designed for users who also have Omnisphere 2. The richly detailed bass sounds of Trilian have been dramatically transformed using Omnisphere’s deep synthesis capabilities. An extremely special collection of sounds for modern music producers.
