EuroBass 3
In 2018, we launched SubMission Audio with our flagship product: the EuroBass.
Now in its third generation, EuroBass has become ubiquitous as a brand unto itself, used far and wide by prolific composers like Mick Gordon on soundtracks such as DOOM: Eternal.
Officially partnered with Spector Basses, we are proud to present EuroBass 3: The most fully fledged virtual recreation of the Spector Euro 5 LX in existence.
EuroBass 3 is the virtual bass to use when you crave a professional low-end, without compromising the rest of the mix. The Euro 5 is renowned for its ability to effortlessly sit in the mix, creating a robust bottom end without overstating its presence.
Powered by our next-generation truBass technology, and meticulously sampled with an immense attention to detail, EuroBass 3 is the gold standard in versatile virtual bass.
Tones
Our design ethos behind EuroBass 3 is to immediately empower you with amazing sounds whether you’re composing, demoing, pre-producing, or creating a release-ready mix. It’s packed with 3 versatile tones:
DI: The raw sound of the instrument, captured directly via high end, studio-grade recording hardware. Process as you would any other bass - using your favourite plugins, pedals or amps. This allows ultimate flexibility; mix the bass on your own terms.
CLN: A tone modeled on the classic Spector sound of yesteryear. Run through a clean amp, into impulses based on the legendary Ampeg Heritage 8x10 cabinet, as captured by premium Neumann U47 and U87 microphones.
The ‘Drive’ function allows you to kick in a blended overdrive pedal, for that classic Alice in Chains inspired sound
DIST: For when you want to stop messing around. A combination of distortion pedals and amp overdrive cascade to create a thick, textured, throaty driven midrange, shaped by impulses based on the classic Ampeg Heritage 8x10 cabinet, as captured by premium Neumann U47 and U87 microphones.
In our usual style, both tones are premixed for your convenience - so you can get straight to the art of being creative.
The Drive, Tone, Compression and Girth controls further allow you to perfectly match the bass to your music.
Features
The tuning range
The tuning range of Eurobass 3 is C0 up to D4. It’s been tuned perfectly across the entire note range, so it can act as a tuning reference whenever you’re recording guitars.
The DOOM button
Intentionally shrinks the round robin, giving you the most powerful, direct samples for reduced realism and greater consistency - for those times where variance is undesirable.
Humanize
The Humanization control injects natural variance into the playback, for adjustable realism.
The Position control is a convenient way to select where on the virtual fretboard you’d like the performance to take place.
For absolute control, our Force String articulation can select exactly which string each note is performed on, giving you the ability to tonally match your guitar riffs 1 to 1.
Use the Configuration menu to rebind keyswitches, set the tuning of the bass, and adjust the pitch bend range for ultimate customization to your personal workflow.
Native Instruments - Kontakt
As an official Native Instruments partner, EuroBass 3 runs in the industry standard free Kontakt Player, meaning you don’t have to worry about any additional hidden costs.Kontakt is the most widely used and widely compatible sampler in the industry, meaning there is a robust team of professionals available to make it work perfectly for you.
truBass Technology
Based on our next generation truBass technology, EuroBass 3 features a ridiculously robust collection of articulations, including: Alternate Picking, Ghost Notes, Slap Bass, Natural Harmonics, Hammer On/Pull Off, Tapping, truSlides and Palm Mutes.
Multi-Sampling
The entire fretboard of the instrument is multi-sampled so that your virtual riffs sound exactly as intended. Ie. Playing an open D string sounds vastly different to playing that same D note on the B-string.
truSlides
Our truSlide algorithm can slide from any note on the virtual fretboard, to any other note, at whatever speed or velocity curve you desire, to perfectly match the slides of your real guitars.
Intelligent Alternate Picking
Our proprietary tempo-synced alternate picking algorithm has a robust round robin that never sounds like samples are repeating, no matter the speed of your music.
Packet fresh’ tone
EuroBass 3 was sampled with brand new steel strings, meaning that you always get that lovely ‘packet fresh’ tone, with no wear down. The average professional bass recording session often costs several times the price of EuroBass 3 in string packets alone.
