Burque: The Versatile Bassline Synthesizer
Introducing Burque by Shuttleplug – a VST instrument designed to generate powerful and diverse synth-bass sounds. It uniquely combines three synthesis techniques: phase distortion, subtractive synthesis, and waveshaping.
This combination allows for a rich palette of bass timbres – from classic deep sub-basses to aggressive and textured sounds. Phase distortion adds metallic nuances, subtractive synthesis provides filter control, and waveshaping saturates the sound with harmonics and “dirt.” Burque provides the flexibility needed for any musical style.
Detailed Parameter Overview
Burque is equipped with all the necessary controls for fine-tuning the sound:
- MONO MODE: Enables monophonic mode, ideal for classic basslines.
- RETRIGGER: In mono mode, restarts the envelopes when playing legato.
- MAIN: Adjusts the level of the main oscillator (phase distortion).
- SUB 1: Controls the level of the first sinusoidal sub-oscillator.
- SUB 2: Controls the level of the second sinusoidal sub-oscillator (one octave lower).
- DETUNE: Detunes the sinusoidal oscillators relative to the main one.
- AMP ADSR: Amplitude envelope (VCA) for controlling dynamics.
- FILTER ADSR: Filter envelope for creating movement in the timbre.
- VOLUME: Overall output volume of the plugin.
- DIRT: Adds a waveshaping effect for more aggressive timbres.
- RESONANCE: Adjusts the filter resonance level, amplifying frequencies near the cutoff point.
Burque by Shuttleplug is an effective tool for creating unique bass parts. Its combination of syntheses and understandable controls make the sound generation process fast and creative. Try Burque to add a new dimension to your bass tracks!
The plugin is available in VST format for Windows (Win32) operating systems.
