Start Strong with TRK-01

Low end forms the foundation of almost all electronic music, so getting great kick and bass from the start makes all the difference. TRK-01 marries classic mixing techniques with innovative sound design, sequencing, and modulation, so you’re always inspired to write solid and exciting kick-bass combinations. Get your new tracks rolling quicker and sounding bigger than ever before – start with TRK-01.

Kick

The Kick module is built for versatility, ease-of-use, and expressive fun, relying on a powerful combination of two sound layers: sampled or synth-based. Each layer has drive and a multimode filter, ideal for blending the low end of an 808-style kick with the transient crack of an acoustic sample. The combined kick is further shaped using effects, envelopes, and sequenced modulation, and can be tuned automatically to a master tune setting, avoiding bass frequency clashes.

Bass

The Bass module offers total expressive freedom with a choice of five synth engines, allowing anything from epic super saws to underground sine subs. An innovative Ducker module lets you quickly apply creative sidechain-style effects or surgical mix cuts to the level, EQ, FX sends, and insert effects parameters. Like the Kick module, Bass features a number of modulators, and all parameters can be controlled by the step sequencer.

Sequencer

Independent step-sequencers for Kick and Bass each offer extensive sequencing and modulation controls – far more than traditional step-sequencers. Every step allows a number of controls, such as note-on, velocity, pitch, length (for bass), and gate. The real fun starts with the step-modulation controls, where Parameter Focus lets you draw in sequence modulation for any Kick or Bass parameter, and Step Locks allow fixed parameter values for any given sequencer step.

Effects

TRK-01 offers a range of tailored processing types and sound-shaping techniques, starting with a user-selectable insert effect for both Kick and Bass modules. Delay and Reverb sends provide key controls in a simple interface, with additional features for huge creative potential. Both feature their own dedicated stereo output for external mixing.

Master Inserts

Two master inserts – a harmonic bass enhancer and a saturation-capable compressor/limiter module – allow creative enhancement and performance-ready weight. These tools offer powerful ways to enhance the overall sound and ensure your tracks have the professional finish they deserve. With TRK-01, you have everything you need to create impactful, bass-heavy music.
