Spectrasonics Trilian

March 3, 2010 By IDM Reports

The most advanced and unique software bass instrument available

What Is It?

Those legendary sound gurus from Spectrasonics have struck yet again with the update of the award winning Trilogy bass module. The new Trilian Total Bass Module now runs on the same STEAM Engine technology which powers Omnisphere, and includes a massive 34 GB patch library consisting of acoustic, electric and synth basses. Eric Persing and his team have outdone themselves once again with a fantastic collection ranging from rare upright and hollow body basses to retro synths and electric basses sampled on vintage input channel and mic setups. The Omnisphere user interface has been carefully adapted to fit Trilian with fully customizable main panel controls, intuitive patch browser, the familiar set of effects and of course the powerful arpeggiator.

Who Should Own One?

If commercial music production is your game then Trilian will make the playing field a good deal more fun. The applications of this instrument are vast indeed, allowing it to be easily used in TV or film, hip-hop, rock, electronic or any other style of music requiring an extremely dynamic low end. However, the true magic of Trilian’s advanced sampling system lies in its performance capabilities. Using up to 21,000 audio samples per patch, you can experience incredibly realistic sounding upstrokes, slides, slaps and staccato at your fingertips giving you an all round expressive and musical experience when played.

The Verdict

Spectrasonics plugins have become a household name in the music industry and are now even more widely used than the Antares autotune, thank goodness. Each instrument is a masterpiece of modern technology and the multiple awards speak for themselves. In fact it is very difficult to turn on the radio, watch a movie or buy an album today without hearing Spectrasonics. Their extensive and constantly updated patch and sound-source libraries make these plugins an indispensable part of any producer’s arsenal and Trilian is no exception.
