Water Resist Synths has released version 2.0 of Bassment, a 16-step monophonic bass-sequencer-synth. It consists of three main- and four sub-panels through which the sound modulation and sequencing is done. These are:
- Synth panel: two oscillators (saw and pulse); both have their own modulation sources (LFO, amp and filter envelope generator, distortion etc.).
- Pitch panel: Two pitch sequencers named in accordance with their destinations (saw/pulse oscillators).
- Filter panel: Two other sequencers routed to filter cutoff.
Each sequencer has similar controllers. With them you can define:
- Start and end points.
- Direction.
- Tempo of a sequence.
You can alter the length of the steps and add distortion or 'slide effect' to any individual step.
Bassment cost €7 and is available as a VSTi for Windows. A demo version is available.
