Divide and Conquer
For decades, parallel bass processing has been a cornerstone of powerful bass tones. Traditionally, this involves configuring dual rigs or multiple plugins to distort the treble for clarity and aggression while compressing the lows for a massive foundation.
Parallax X revolutionizes this process by offering comprehensive parallel processing within a single plugin. It provides everything you need to craft the ultimate bass tone, combining precision, flexibility, and power in one intuitive interface.
Low Compression
Dialing in a high-gain sound with presence, definition, and clarity requires that a certain amount of low end is removed from the spectrum to be distorted. Dedicated processing for the low-end of the spectrum, precisely controlled by our bus compressor algorithm, provides a seemingly infinite amount of size on tap.
Distortion
The mid and treble bands are processed separately using our proprietary tube modeling technology, resulting in rich harmonics and a natural response.
Mid Distortion
Distorts the midrange of the spectrum to add a throatier color and enhance note articulation.
High Distortion
Distorts the high end of the spectrum, allowing you to add the perfect amount of fuzz or tightness.
Equalizer
The six-band graphic equalizer provides an additional control layer for fine-tuning the frequency response to perfection.
Cabsim
Parallax X includes a comprehensive cabinet simulation section with six virtual microphones that can be moved around the speaker for maximum flexibility. When distorted, the higher end of the register truly benefits from well-captured speaker impulses, as the inherent frequency response shapes the distortion in a very musical manner. The cabsim module only affects the Mid and High bands to avoid issues with the low end.
Transpose
Pitch your bass up or down by a constant interval (+12/-12 semitones). Use this feature to easily change the tuning of your instrument.
Tuner
Now features an additional live tuner displayed at the bottom of the UI.
Metronome
To perfectly supplement your practice, the metronome allows you to control the time signature, accent sounds, and note values (the metronome is only available on the Standalone App).
Standalone
The Standalone feature in Parallax X allows you to quickly install, plug in, and play this versatile plugin. Standalone is perfect for practice on the go and live use.
