A sophisticated sound meets professional performance. Royal is truly the apex of all studio session musicians, on-call 24/7 within your DAW. Adapting to every environment it's thrown into, you're in capable hands with Royal whether you're playing rock, indie, pop or even electronic music. Thriving in the band arrangement, Royal is the perfect complement to chart-topping singer-songwriter music thanks to the smooth, articulate performance with a rounded and thick tone. Of course, it's sharp enough to be driven to bite and get down with more edgy genres as well.
Low-end satisfaction with a high-end sound. Combining the elements of a vintage, roadworn classic with the precision and clarity of modern electronics, the sound of Royal defines its namesake. Of course, the instrument can only shine when the performer does the talking. Played by a decorated professional, Royal ascends to the top of the class with its prestigious, smooth and noble sound. Captured using proprietary recording techniques through a myriad of amplifiers and effects, Royal highlights unprecedented realism, authenticity and intricacy in the world of virtual bass instruments.
Studio recording can be a challenging beast. Achieving the level of consistency needed by veteran performers takes decades of trial and error, routine practice and dedication. Now, getting radio-ready bass tones has never been this easy. The combination of creative flexibility with ease of use makes Royal the obvious answer for producers, musicians and non-bassist when only the most sophisticated, articulate and smooth sounds will suffice. Presented with nine different parameters for tonal shaping, Royal can be catered to suit any style of mix or vibe.
Control the fundamentals of your bass sound with the seamless pickup slider, morphing between neck and bridge pickups. Automating between the two provides an elegant option when performing on different ranges on the fretboard. For a more rounded tone when playing higher up on solos and melodies, stay focused on the neck pickup and then switch to a midrange, punchy sound for biting lower single note plucks with the bridge pickup. Several amplifier types are included alongside a direct mode for producers working with preferred virtual amplifier plug-ins or effects. Rock, Soul and Pop all contribute to the tonality of your sound, traversing anything from smaller amplifiers with a more rounded tone for Soul to a more grinding, larger-than-life sound for Rock. Regardless of the amplifier type chosen, the proprietary Drive circuit adds crunching harmonics and bite to your sound, sending any amp model into overdrive and saturation.
Four adjustable character parameters range from Soft to Hard, allowing you to change the dynamic range and timbre of the performance with your bass lines. Sculpting the sound of your bass, the Character control pairs with your amplifier settings, offering a tremendous range of sounds for your projects. Outside of the realm of character shaping, several studio-classic effects such as Compressor and EQ are offered to carve a sonic space whilst adding consistency and punch to cut through virtually any mix.
Creative controls are offered with the Octave dial, Drop-D switch and Finisher controls. Taking your sound from the subtle to the extreme, the 15 onboard Finisher includes several tried and true processes for the bass guitar including rotary effects, chorus, phaser, and room reverb alongside heavy compression and distortion effects.
The foundation of your tracks, the bass occupies a special purpose within production, blending melody with rhythm like no other instrument. It's a key part in creating a sound that connects with people, encouraging them to dance and feel moved by the music. For this reason, Royal offers two modes of operation including Player Mode and Instrument Mode.
Player Mode gives you access to the 1380 phrases spanning 60 different styles to ensure that you never run out of ideas for your songwriting. Divided into common songwriting sections such as intros, fills and verses, you can hone in on a specific part to fill the gap in your production. The smart technology behind the Virtual Bassist series means that not only will ROYAL automatically follow the key and chord you play, but it will also intelligently select the most musical bass articulations available to support your tracks.
For experienced performers, Instrument mode lets you experiment with the full offering inside of Royal. Unlock every note and technique included with the meticulously sampled instrument via your MIDI controller or keyboard. Expressive control is afforded with the inclusion of muted notes, slides and stop techniques which can be accessed via the key switches and modulation/pitch wheel bending.
Royal caters to any musician or producer looking to inject your work with professional bass sounds in a matter of minutes, regardless of your skill set or ability. Built around the frustration-free design, there are no deep menu dives, complicated non-musical terms or cluttered interfaces, just a simple layout that lets you get the results you want fast with complete creative freedom. With practically zero learning curve required, you can supercharge your productions with smooth and versatile fingered bass sounds. As well as non-bassists, seasoned veteran bassists with their own equipment will still be able to benefit from Royal. Production-ready sounds from the get-go and ultra-realistic results combined with ease of use means you can get your ideas down faster than ever before your creative flame burns out. Simply punch in your MIDI performance and let Royal do the rest without worrying about connecting your large system and losing that one special idea.
Providing you with only a few key controls, you are awarded the flexibility to customise the performance of your Virtual Bassist to get realistic results quickly. Micro timing parameters are presented to add humanisation to your performance, enhancing the natural swing and feel of a realistic bassist. Newly introduced MIDI drag-and-drop of your performances or phrases ensures you can speed up your workflow to follow your creativity without any barriers slowing you down.
