About Softube Monoment Bass

Modern Bass. Mix-ready Bass. Monoment Bass
In the modern day, music production leans more heavily on bass than ever before. Although track counts can number a hundred or more, often the core of a song is built around little more than a beat, a vocal and a rich, living bass sound. So an instrument dedicated to just that - tailored to producing huge, solid bass tones with complex, organic overtones and focused effects for a mix-ready low end - is more than just useful. It's foundational. Monoment Bass lays the groundwork for top-quality tracks every time.

Stereo soundscapes
All of the source material in Monoment Bass was recorded in stereo from high-end rare and boutique synths, giving huge, wide and mood-defining sounds.

Task-specific effects
Including a purpose-built multi-band compressor and a spatialization tool for fine-tuning your stereo image, Monoment Bass has great-sounding effects, but more importantly, the right effects for the job.

Professional presets
Amazing out-of-the-box sounds designed by Madison Mars, Vandalism, Sample Tools by Cr2, WA production, Black Octopus and Function Loops, for finely tuned future proof sounds from moment one.

Modern music, modern instrument
Working with sound designer and rare-synth-collector Tobias Menguser, we set out on this project to tackle the vital problem of amazing-sounding, weighty bass parts in modern music. In so many modern styles, from pop and hip hop to club dance genres and electro music, the bass occupies more and more of the spectrum and does more and more of the heavy lifting in production terms. So we've provided a carefully selected and expertly curated collection of top-end sounds, paired them with easy-to-use and awesome-sounding synth architecture and high quality analog effects for modern, mix-ready bass in seconds.

Get complex quickly
Monoment Bass includes a two-layer source section, with all-stereo sources offering rich and evolving sounds. Nothing is static and all the sources were recorded in triplicate, so there are three different samples per key for additional naturalism and life. The resulting sounds leap out of the speakers and grab hold of your track. Right out of the box and with minimal tweaking, this instrument has authority, weight, heft, power, character. The filter, LFO and amp are all geared to musicians - you don't need a degree in synth-geekery to use Monoment Bass - and the effects are designed step-by-step for just this crucial task.

Noise, dirt, magic
Using the aging knob, you can introduce a host of analog-ish imperfections to your bass sound. And a third noise source is available at all times, with multiple organic noise options, to add crunch to the attack or grit to the body of your sound. Add analog distortion, ambience and tone-shaping in the effects section and you'll be surprised by the range of colorful living sounds your track can hold. Monoment, by virtue of its high input quality and carefully selected sculpting options, becomes more than a part of your mix. It's the very core and heart of your mix.
