When it comes to real-sounding software
instrument modules, Spectrasonics
falls in the upper echelons. On par with companies like Native Instruments when
it comes to virtual modules that sound phat, loud, rich and warm; comparable to
software like Ableton Live in the category of including awesome-sounding onboard
effects within its Stylus RMX module; and leaving many a composer drooling with
the sonic hues within its Atmosphere Dream Synth, Spectrasonics is definitely a
name to put in your plug-ins folder.
Trilogy Lets You Throw Out Your Bass
When I first unwrapped the Trilogy box, I didn’t have any idea what I was
getting into. I wrongly assumed it was just another bass module. After
complaining to myself about how long it was taking to install the five CDs, I
must now attest: Every second spent installing this sweet bass module is well
invested.
After firing up my computer to work on some newer tracks, I quickly found myself
turning to Trilogy instead of my real bass every single time. No tuning required,
no finding a good setting on the Pod, no having to run my bass through any tube
compressors, distortion pedals or other effects... Trilogy gives you everything
you need.
Never before have I personally used a bass module that sounds so much like a real bass —
so rich and warm and convincing. When I mentioned it to some friends, I got the
same unanimous response: “Of course, it’s from Spectrasonics.”

Spectrasonics Deployed
When Grammy-winning songwriter, composer, drummer, programmer, engineer, remixer
and producer Chris
Vrenna is working on tracks for Tweaker, or video game scores like American
McGee’s Alice, Enter The Matrix, and Quake, Area 51, The Sims 2 and Tabula
Rasa, he primarily uses plug-ins and apps from Native Instruments, Arturia, Antares and
Spectrasonics.
“I’ve really been getting into Stylus, Trilogy and
Atmosphere,” says Vrenna. “It’s really good, super efficient, really cool sounding and
gives you tons of good, raw material to start with.”
