Tau Bassline MkII

Virtual analog emulation synth focusing on bass sounds with multiple waveforms and filters, recreating classic warm punch in a modern CPU-friendly package.

What is Tau Bassline MkII?

Tau Bassline MkII is a virtual analog software synthesizer plugin designed specifically for bass sounds. Developed by Expert Sleepers, it emulates classic analog synth architecture and signal flow to produce the rich, warm bass tones reminiscent of hardware analog synths of the 70s and 80s.

At the heart of Tau Bassline MkII is a fully analog modeled oscillator section featuring multiple waveform shapes to choose from including sawtooth, pulse, triangle, and noise. The oscillators feed into a multimode filter with lowpass, highpass, and bandpass modes modeled after classic analog ladder filters. This filter section gives Tau Bassline MkII its characteristic deep, rounded bass tones.

The full analog signal path is then processed digitally with effects including distortion, chorus, and delay. This hybrid of analog modeling and digital effects gives the synth flexibility while retaining the coveted analog warmth. The simple, intuitive interface makes Tau Bassline MkII easy to program while providing visual feedback for a workflow similar to working with actual analog synths.

If you're looking for a software synth specialized for bass sounds, from subsonic to melodic basslines and beyond, Tau Bassline MkII captures the tone and feel of classic analog basses for modern production. Its CPU-friendly coding also makes it suitable for laptop production and mobile music making.
