The Sound of Thunder – The Lowdown Bass Synthesizer recreates the super-fat, room-rattling sounds of the most legendary dual-oscillator bass pedal synth ever made. Originally used by top acts such as Rush, Yes, Genesis, U2, and The Police, this floor pedal monster is now available on the desktop for the very first time. From the dual “constant-beat” oscillators to the girthy ladder filter, DSP wizard Mark Barton (MRB) has meticulously modeled every aspect of the original with exceptional accuracy. Get ready to experience the Lowdown!
Outside of a handful of organ-oriented instruments, the original instrument was the first dedicated foot-controlled bass synthesizer and unquestionably the best-sounding with its colossal tone. The original design employed a Hz/oct oscillator scaling, allowing oscillator detuning to remain consistent across the keyboard, minimizing phase cancellation when two oscillators play simultaneously. Cherry Audio’s Lowdown precisely recreates this engineering marvel, offering a massive virtual bass experience like no other.
