Time+Space has launched a sale on the Sam Spacey Epica Bass virtual instrument, a dedicated analog bass synth library that was obsessively sampled from a large collection of all-star classic analog synths and modulars.
No emulations or plugins were used in the recording of Epica Bass as Sam believes that to truly capture the saturated harmonically rich textures that true analogue synthesis brings, you have to keep the recording chain as purely analogue as the source synths themselves.
From the vintage Neve preamp and the UBK Fatso hardware to the boutique guitar distortion pedals and Kush Audio Elektra EQ’s, the gear involved in the making of this Kontakt instrument ensures that Epica Bass sits perfectly in the mix without the need to pile on plugins.
