Media composers could easily build the core of a complete cue from a single Mosaic Bass preset
- Sound On Sound Magazine
“Having enjoyed the first two [Mosaic] titles, I was keen to see what the latest offering — Mosaic Bass — might bring. The presets do a great job of demonstrating what Mosaic Bass can do. The ‘playables’ are more conventional bass instruments, albeit exploiting the range of sound‑design possibilities provided by combining the different types of sound sources and the multitude of processing and modulation options provided by the sound engine. There are some very cool sounds here. The same can perhaps also be said of the pad categories. For me, however, even better were the ‘rhythms’ categories. These contain a combination of sounds that either provide a nice rhythmical ‘pulse’, or melodic arpeggiation, depending upon the settings for the individual arpeggiator modules for each of the three sound sources within a particular preset. Media composers could easily build the core of a complete cue from a single Mosaic Bass preset and, providing you are prepared to dig into the engine yourself (rather than just surf the presets), there is a massive scope for your own sound design. Like the other titles in the Mosaic series, Heavyocity have managed to create something really interesting here. Mosaic Bass sounds great and, what’s more, is pitched at a very sensible price. That’s three hits in three titles… and I’m already looking forward to whatever might arrive in the fourth instalment of the series. Excellent stuff. 5 out of 5 stars!”
