    SHARE THIS!

    New Era 808 & Bass Module Plugin by Xclusive Audio is the ultimate virtual instrument aimed at hip hop, trap and EDM producers. This virtual instrument opens a new perspective in your musical creations, offering a solid foundation for your tracks: professional sounding 808 kicks and earthshaking subs, distorted basses, plus a hard-hitting collection of drum samples.

    The plugin is designed with vintage and modern processing and is exploring a wide palette of tones obtained by adding analog distortion, saturation, tape, etc. But the clean & fat sounds aren’t overlooked!

    Overview:

    With an easy-to-use interface, your work will be fluid and always with good results. As the name implies, New Era 808 & Bass Module Plugin is a 2 in 1 music creation software (rompler). It comes with two user interfaces, one dedicated to 808-style kicks and sub basses, while the other one is for drums, percussions and vocals only.

    The module for 808-style kicks and sub basses has a simple interface with preset selector in center. For browsing thru the presets, you either can click on the blue screen or use the Prev and Next buttons.

    Four big control knobs allows you to have control over volume, stereo pan, glide and distortion. Each button is color coded. At bottom you’ll notice a keyboard for previewing sounds.

    The GUI is simple and to the point, offering access to basic features, this way you can focus more on the sound itself.

    With a familiar look, this interface is a reminiscent of many popular drum machines. Eight pads hold the sounds of each drum preset. For each one you can control the panning and volume.

    Two global effects can be applied- reverb and release (the sliders in the right). Also you can adjust global volume and pitch.
