Dingwall Super-P four-string bass guitar by Ali Dean from the British metalcore band Architects

For over 20 years , Architects have been a driving force in the metal scene. One of the things that has defined their sound from the very beginning is their thunderous, triumphant bass. Now, for the first time ever, that bass is available to you.

ArchitectsBass perfectly captures the sound of Ali Dean’s Super-P bass with unrivaled accuracy. With a thick, rich, neutral sound, it combines vintage bass with modern trends.

Three uncompromising tones give you just what you need, without the frills.

• DI . The pure, unprocessed sound of Ali Dean’s signature bass , recorded on top-notch studio equipment. Ideal for creating your own sound using plug-ins, amps or outboard gear, this DI delivers unrivaled clarity and precision. Tailor the sound to fit perfectly into your mix, no matter the genre or style.
  
  
• Clean . A clean, pristine tone that highlights the natural resonance and warmth of Ali’s bass. Designed for those moments when precision and clarity are key, this tone delivers smooth lows and sparkling highs, perfect for clean, atmospheric sections or dynamic arrangements where the bass needs to ring true.
  
  
• Distortion . For those looking for more grit, this tone delivers searing distortion, perfect for working with tight guitars and aggressive drums. Inspired by the brutal bass lines found on Architects’ heavier tracks, it offers a versatile overdrive that can be pushed to the limit, making it ideal for energetic performances and recordings.

Peculiarities

An exceptionally realistic virtual model of the 4-string bass guitar Dingwall Super-P for Kontakt Player.

• Tuning Range: ArchitectsBass’s tuning range is from C0 to C4 , making it ideal for use as a tuning reference when recording guitars.
• DOOM Button: Intentionally reduces the number of circular repeats, giving you the most powerful samples for reduced realism and greater consistency – for those times when variance is undesirable.
• Humanize: Infuse your performance with natural variation with the Humanize control , adding subtle differences for a more organic feel

Position control is a convenient way to choose where on the virtual fretboard you want to play.

For absolute control, Force String articulation can precisely select which string each note is played on, giving you the ability to match the pitch of your guitar riffs 1-to-1.

Use the configuration menu to reassign key switches, customize the bass, and adjust the pitch bend range for maximum customization of your workflow.
