Spectrasonics Trilian Bass Synth Shipping

spectrasonics-trillian-bass-synthesizerSpectrasonics has announced that it is now shipping Trilian, the successor to its Trilogy bass module.

Description:

Trilian’s massive 34GB core library features new Acoustic, Electric and Synth basses – as well as enhanced versions of the classic Trilogy sounds. With a brand new user interface and numerous software innovations, Trilian is the first 64-bit native software based on Spectrasonics next generation STEAM Engine, and is the first virtual instrument to feature full library integration with the flagship Omnisphere synthesizer.

Trilian is available now for PC and Mac (VST/AU/RTAS) with an MSRP of $299 USD / €229 EUR. All Trilogy customers can upgrade to Trilian for $99 USD.

I saw a preview of Trillian at NAMM, and at that point, it already looked like it was an impressive bass synth.
