BASS ARMY KNIFE
A custom bass-music production plugin combining sound design, processing, movement, spatial tools and creative effects in one purpose-built interface.
Overview
BASS ARMY KNIFE (BAK) is a custom VST3 audio-processing plugin I developed for bass-music production. The screenshot shows the real plugin interface.
The Problem
Bass sound design can require a producer to move repeatedly between separate processing and creative tools.
What I Built
I developed a purpose-built plugin that brings multiple sound-design, processing and creative controls into a single interface.
What It Does
BAK combines filter, distortion, character, movement, sub, width and space controls with creative areas including Grid, Fracture, Resample, Impact, Mutate, Morph and Chaos, alongside input and output controls.
Selected Features
- Input/output metering and dry/wet control
- Preset functionality, undo/redo and A/B comparison
- Multiple macro controls
- Filter, distortion, character and sub processing areas
- Movement, width and space controls
- Grid, Fracture, Resample, Impact, Mutate, Morph and Chaos areas
- Resampling and texture/motion controls
- State/utility controls
Design and workflow considerations
Input/output and dry/wet controls frame the processing areas. Presets, undo/redo and A/B comparison support exploring and comparing changes within the plugin.
Technical approach
The verified VST3 interface groups sound-design and processing controls with metering, presets, undo/redo and A/B comparison. This describes the available controls, not unverified audio-engine internals.
The challenge addressed
The project addresses repeated movement between separate processing and creative tools by bringing the controls into a single purpose-built interface.
