Product Description

• 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 modelled 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
• Genesis
• 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. Along with a couple of other engineering tricks
• this contributes to its beefy sound. In order to create Cherry Audio's Lowdown
• DSP and synthesis legend Mark Barton carefully analyzed the original's synthesis circuits and precisely recreated them for a massive virtual bass experience like no other. Cherry Audio are simply thrilled with the outcome of this fun and easy-to-use earth-moving bass experience and they hope you love it as much as they do!
