We put out the challenge and four amazing bass players answered the call: “Can you go four rounds with Reason’s latest heavy-hitter, the Bassline Generator?!”
We use Bassline Generator’s to create some machine made bass parts and made some songs that got progressively more technical and complicated each round. And with no advance listening, we put them in front of some top professional bass players to see if they could learn and match Bassline Generator note for not. The challenge was not for the faint of heart! See how our players did in our Big Bass Bot Battle!!
The Players:
Cat Popper (Norah Jones, Jack White, She & Him)
Bubby Lewis (Snoop Dogg, Stevie Wonder, Lupe Fiasco)
Eva Lawitts (Stimmerman, Sister Helene, Fuck Squad)
Adam Dorn (Star Wars, Marcus Miller, Serial Podcast)

Why is MasterVerb a great reverb?
1) It sounds great. The rooms sound natural and spacious. The plates are extremely dense. The decays are silky smooth without annoying artifacts. The reverb is clearly audible without being muddy. When applied to stereo inputs, the stereo soundstage is maintained with proper balance.
2) It can reproduce a range of spaces. MasterVerb contains two different algorithms to generate the dense late reverberation: a hall algorithm and a plate algorithm. Each of these algorithms has independently adjustable size and decay time controls, so they can be morphed across a wide range of characteristics. The hall algorithm is intended for acoustic spaces, e.g. rooms, chambers, studios, halls, while the plate algorithms is for, well, plate reverbs. An early reflection section allows for various early reflection patterns, again with adjustable size. Wet and dry delays allow for pre-delay and other delay effects. Two three-band EQs are provided: the early EQ shapes the overall tonality of the reverb response and the late EQ shapes the frequency dependent decay. On top of that there is a triggered amplitude envelope which can generate gated and reverse reverb effects. So, there is a ton of flexibility here. MasterVerb ships with 60 presets which cover a wide range of reverbs and serve as starting points for further exploration.
3) It’s easy to use. The interface allows you to quickly visualize the changes you are making. A reverb time response lets you see the reverb decay, early reflections, amplitude envelope, and delay settings. A 3-D frequency response plot shows the reverb decay as a function of frequency. There are graphical frequency response controls for both EQs.
4) It’s CPU efficient. Considerable effort went into designing the low level algorithms so they could be fully automatable and also extremely CPU efficient. The result is that MasterVerb takes far less CPU than other reverb plug-ins.

Convology XT is a free convolution reverb, the result of a collaboration between Impulse Record and Wave Arts. Convology XT comes with 74 vintage impulse responses, a sampling of the 3,556 impulse responses in the Convology XT library.
The Convology XT Complete Library is focused on vintage reverb effects. Responses were sampled from 126 different pieces of vintage studio gear from studios all over the world. There are 10 separate libraries: 80s-90s DSP 1 Basic, 80s-90s DSP 2 Classic, 80s-90s DSP 3 Pro, Plates, Springs Bright, Springs Boingy, Springs Warm, Echo Space, Vintage Amps, and Vintage German DSP. The libraries are affordably priced.
The Convology XT True Stereo Library consists of 4-channel true stereo impulse responses. There are 2 separate true stereo libraries: True Stereo 1 and True Stereo 2.
The plug-in features an easy to use interface to browse through the libraries, allowing the user to quickly step through presets and audition on the fly while the music is playing. Despite being free, Convology XT is a world class convolution reverb, with CPU efficient processing, low latency and zero latency modes, max IR length of 2M samples (40 sec at 48 kHz), support for true stereo responses, support for WAV and AIF files, and modulation. There are also extensive IR modification functions, including stretch, decay time scaling, EQ, frequency-dependent decay time scaling, time reverse, and amplitude envelope. And a cool UI with real time spectrum, time display, and images of the vintage gear.
The beauty of Convology XT is the ease of browsing a huge vintage library, with truly world class impulse response files.

Benjamin Hinz aka Aen aka Dwarfcraft recently released an animated short called Dead Astronaut (https://youtu.be/dcrhKJT7XvY) and is now working on a follow up with another pal of ours, Nick Reinhart.
Through some random experimentation with the Polar Dual Pitch Shifter device, Benjamin came up with a few musical (or should we say noisy) motifs and concepts that served as critical anchor points for the upcoming score. In this video you’ll see how you can use the Polar device to explore, warp, modulate and even wreck your sound to take it in new unexpected directions. As our very own Mattias talked about in one of his own Polar tutorials a few years ago (https://youtu.be/l9Y4cH2Du78?t=265), "accidents often give unexpected and sometimes fantastic results".
• Make sure to go watch Dead Astronaut here: https://youtu.be/dcrhKJT7XvY
