"At Spectrasonics, we've always loved Bass sounds." notes Eric Persing, Founder and Creative Director.
#Trilian bass full#
Sporting a brand new user interface with numerous software innovations, Trilian is the first 64-bit native software based on Spectrasonics STEAM Engine and is the first virtual instrument to feature full library integration with the company's flagship Omnisphere synthesizer. The new instrument has a much larger core library and features highly-detailed new acoustic, electric and synth basses - as well as enhanced versions of the classic Trilogy sounds. Spectrasonics announced and previewed their brand new virtual instrument Trilian, the long-awaited successor to their award-winning Trilogy bass module. Spectrasonics stuff often sounds great right off bat and even have some great tricks but usually not as deep as NI.Next Generation "STEAM-powered" Trilogy Successor Even the stock Kontakt Factory library has a lot of tricks to them but usually sounds meh when initially playing. Some of the Kontakt libraries aren’t that great (or at least don’t seem so when first playing) but I do find overall they are like their synths deep with a learning curve and I often find cool tricks I didn’t realize they could do. The Sample library has 3rd party help and IMO they put a great deal of time into getting it right with Great samples/scripting.

I just made a track with Trilian acoustic bass and it is great but for my mellow or soulful tunes with Electric I go right to Scarbee. The synth basses give stuff like Diva/Monark a run for their money especially if you just want great presets. The Trilian basses I’m always trying to smooth out. That said I rarely use the electric basses as Scarbee fits my style better as it seems smoother, expressive less aggressive. Trilian with Omnisphere is great as well. I got the Scarbee stuff with Komplete Ultimate and the basses are the main highlight of their sample libraries. Grateful for replies from users with first hand experience.
#Trilian bass trial#
I am specifically interested inĪny issues with Ableton Live 10? (It's a shame that there is no trial available) Native Instruments, Acoustic Samples, Orange Tree Samples, Ampleosund, etc. I wonder how it (in the non synth teritory) holds up against alternatives like e.g. SvenH wrote:Spectrasonics Trilian is quite old now. Some of the Trilian basses can have an edgier quality more suited to Rock but IMO it isn’t as playable as NI. Trilian probably has better acoustic though as the stock NI acoustic is OK. I do more Hip Hop/R&B though and Scarbee sounds smoother but that said, I think when I first played it, I didn’t like it but it was more because I didn’t understand the interface or the scripting. Very interesting! I think I have read comments elsewhere that Trilian sounds more realistic! Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts! SvenH wrote:Why do you prefer Scarbee basses over those in Trilian? The idea is more of tweaking the interface as a bass player would probably just bring like one or two basses to a gig but can get an infinite number of sounds depending on how he tweaks pickups, plays strings. My brother a bass player heard my tracks using Scarbee and thought I hired a great bass player.Īlso Trilian is more of a preset machine and will have like hundreds of presets where NI will only give you a few just like a real bass. Trilian is nowhere as expressive as Scarbee but it has probably more samples but it feels more like playing a great Sample library on an old Akai, where NI almost takes the Sample library concept and adds the ability to do slides and has a more realistic legato feel to it. The Scarbee basses highlights some of the best uses for NI scripting. You often have to read the documentation to learn it’s tricks but when you learn them, they add realism like no other sample libraries. That said NI instruments have a learning curve and are more like synths and playing a video game with hidden cheat codes. If you are a great keyboardist, you can make Trilian sound real but IMO KSP makes it easier. Trilian is great as well but sounds more like a keyboardist playing a electric bass Sample.

The NI basses sound almost like real basses played by great players and makes extensive use of KSP scripting for added realism. Why do you prefer Scarbee basses over those in Trilian? I think Trilian has better acoustic basses but I don’t really have a NI acoustic library to compare with just the factory stuff. I especially love the synth basses of Trilian.
