Microton Bass

To celebrate the two-year anniversary of Microton's release, we're excited to announce Microton Bass: a monophonic bass synth inspired by classic house and electro.

One synth. Endless possibilities.

Microton Bass is a virtual analog monosynth with a fresh approach to making microtonal music.

At the heart of the Microton is the ‘monochord’: a touch-sensitive visual representation of the instrument’s current tuning as a simple line segment. Selecting a built-in tuning (ranging across antiquity to the 21st century, from cultures around the world) will automatically update the monochord, displaying the unique mathematical relationships of that tuning’s elements. Users can directly interact with the tuning’s elements by moving its icon along the monochord with the touchscreen, or by modifying the element’s properties via the Element Editor. Adding and deleting elements from the tuning is as easy as a button tap. Want to dive deeper? The Element Editor supports mathematical expressions as input, allowing you to precisely sculpt your tuning.

Once you’ve created your new tuning, you can also redesign the visual keyboard — modify each key’s color, name, and key rank to completely personalize your tuning.

Microton Bass’ sound engine produces fat, psychedelic analog bass tones inspired by the classic 80s monosynths that defined the sound of house, acid, hip-hop, and beyond. The oscillator blends square and triangle waves, which can be shaped by the filter envelope to produce deep rumbles, otherworldly croaks, and worlds in between.

Microton Bass is the most affordable entry in the Microton line, a perfect way to start experimenting with microtonality.

Microton Bass runs on desktop, iPad, and your favorite DAW as an Audio Unit v3 plugin.
