Singularity allows you to seamlessly switch between pick and fingerstyle in one streamlined instrument—something rarely offered in the virtual bass world. This dual approach matters because these two playing methods produce distinctly different tones. Think of the bright, biting pick tone of Jason Newsted (Metallica) or David Ellefson (Megadeth), which cuts fiercely through dense mixes. Compare that with the fluid finger technique of Cliff Burton (Metallica) or Steve Harris (Iron Maiden), delivering a warmer, rounder attack that adds groove and melodic clarity. By covering both styles, Singularity frees you to explore that crisp, attacking edge on one track and a more organic, bass-forward warmth on the next—all without juggling multiple libraries. It’s an easy way to capture the signature feel of your favorite bands, right inside a single, intuitive tool.
Singularity gives you total control over your tone, thanks in large part to its multiple built-in preamps—each modeled after the kind of classic tube heads and modern solid-state designs cherished by rock and metal producers. Rather than settling for a single, generic “baked-in” sound, Singularity lets you switch between these carefully crafted modules with just a click, opening up a vast tonal palette. Whether you crave the rounded warmth of a vintage tube circuit for slower grooves or the razor-sharp precision of a more modern preamp for high-speed riffs, you’ll find it ready to go.
What truly sets these preamps apart is the fidelity of the modeling itself. Instead of relying on dated algorithms, Singularity employs advanced AI and machine learning to capture the distinct harmonic complexity and breakup characteristics of real-world gear. This approach allows for an impressively realistic response under varying input levels—digging in produces the same dynamic push and saturation you’d expect from a genuine tube or transistor circuit. The result? You can dial in everything from a smooth, low-mid thump to a biting, full-spectrum crunch that sears through any mix.
Because these preamps are baked right into Singularity’s engine, there’s no need to manage extra plugins or chain multiple effects just to achieve a signature sound. With just a few tweaks, you can glide from a punchy, modern aggression perfect for down-tuned metal to a rounded, classic heft ideal for more traditional rock lines. It’s this flexibility—and the astonishing realism of the underlying modeling—that makes Singularity’s tone controls one of its defining features.
Sounding like a real bass player is one thing, but Singularity was also designed to be as versatile as possible in as many different playing styles and genres as possible. Have a listen to some of the demos to hear Singularity in action in a variety of genres and mixing styles!
