vintage bass o1: Add Dirt and Depth to Your Basslines
Meet vintage bass o1 from easytoolz – a compact but extremely characterful bass synthesizer, created specifically for those looking for a warm, slightly “dirty” vintage sound for their music projects.
This plugin is not just an instrument, but a real source of rich and expressive bass textures, ideal for a variety of genres – from electronic music (techno, house, drum and bass) to hip-hop, funk, and rock. Its intuitive interface allows you to quickly immerse yourself in the sound creation process, while the flexible settings of oscillators, filters, and modulation open up wide possibilities for experimentation, allowing you to sculpt the sound from soft and round to aggressive and cutting.
Key Features of Synthesis and Processing
- Two powerful oscillators with the ability to choose from 14 different waveforms, which is an excellent basis for shaping a unique bass timbre.
- Fine-tuning of the signal using the oct-tune, mix, and special clipper parameters, which makes it easy to add pleasant saturation and “dirt.”
- Flexible timbre shaping using low-pass and band-pass filters (Low-and-Band-Passfilter), which respond perfectly to modulation and envelopes.
- A versatile A-D-EG envelope generator and a low-frequency oscillator (LFO) for adding dynamics, vibrato, wah-wah effects, and other movement to the sound.
- Monophony mode and Portamento function – a classic combination for creating sliding, expressive basslines, characteristic of vintage synthesizers.
- Built-in double-delay effect, which allows you to add space and depth to basslines without the need to use additional effects plugins.
- Full ADSR-VCA section for detailed control over attack, decay, sustain, and overall volume level.
Sound Character and Ready-Made Solutions
vintage bass o1 is distinguished by its warm, analog character. Its sound has a pleasant graininess and saturation, which is especially noticeable when using the clipper function. It is ideal for creating dense, punchy basslines that take their place in the mix, as well as for experimenting with more atmospheric or aggressive sounds that can serve as leads or effects.
The plugin offers 6 voices of polyphony, which can be useful for chords or more complex textures, although its main purpose is monophonic basslines. Included you will find 32 great patches, divided into 2 banks of 16 presets. The bank from DJT is especially worth noting, which demonstrates the wide range of possibilities of the plugin – from deep sub-basses to aggressive synthesizer lines. These presets will be a great starting point for your own sound searches or can be used immediately in your tracks.
Technical Details and Compatibility
Currently, vintage bass o1 is available in VST format for 32-bit Windows operating systems (Win32). Make sure your DAW supports this format.

It will not only give your basslines that same vintage charm and “dirty” energy, but will also offer enough flexibility to create unique sounds that can enliven any track and make it stand out from the others.
