Cherry Audio Lowdown Bass Synthesizer – Professional Audio Software & Plugin

The Fattest Floor Synth Now on Desktop 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. Heard on countless prog-rock and new wave tracks in the 70s and 80s this floor pedal monster comes to the desktop for the very first time.

From the dual “constant-beat” oscillators to the girthy ladder filter DSP wizard Mark Barton (MRB) has modeled every aspect of the original with exceptional accuracy. Get down to the ground with Lowdown! Get the Lowdown Outside of a handful of organ-oriented instruments the original instrument was the first dedicated foot-controlled bass synthesizer and with its colossal tone unquestionably the best sounding.

It was used by some of the top acts of 70s and 80s including Rush Yes Genesis U2 and The Police (check out the intro of "Don't Stand So Close To Me" or Phil Collins' "I Don't Care Anymore.") The original design used a Hz/oct oscillator scaling (as opposed to the more conventional volts/oct oscillator scaling) allowing oscillator detuning amount to remain constant across the keyboard by minimizing the phase cancellation that can happen when two oscillators play simultaneously.
