What Bass XXL does
The plugin uses a proprietary algorithm that generates additional harmonics above the bass frequencies, taking advantage of a psychoacoustic phenomenon in which the brain fills in missing sub bass and still perceives low frequencies. The Root control sets the frequency from which harmonics are generated, set either in Hz or as a note, the Harmonics control sets how intensely the signal is saturated, and oversampling can be engaged at its highest setting. The harmonic signal is mixed in parallel through the Boost control without touching the dry signal, and the Output knob sets the level.
Key features
- Root and Harmonics. Root fixes the starting frequency for generated harmonics, entered in Hz or as a note, and Harmonics dials in the saturation depth, with oversampling available at its highest setting.
- Parallel Boost. Boost blends the harmonic layer alongside the untouched dry signal, and the Output knob sets how loud that layer sits in the mix.
- Pre-Delay and Mono. Pre-Delay offsets the harmonic layer from the dry transient by delaying its generation, and Mono collapses the harmonic layer to mono at 100% while the dry signal keeps its stereo image.
- Slope and Range. Slope shapes how gently or precisely the harmonic layer is filtered, and Range decides whether the harmonics stay in lower frequencies or expand upward.
- Spectrogram View Selector. The View Selector switches the display between a zoomed-in spectrogram of the low end and the full spectrum.
- Crack, keygen and serial variants. Bass XXL crack, serial key and keygen listings are the usual search pairings, and a working serial is the string most often typed next to the plugin name.
