Updated · v1.2.0

Polymath, now with Timbre

The new Timbre control keeps your instrument’s own tone on the shifted voices, so octaves and harmonies sound like your bass playing higher or lower. And it uses around half the CPU.

Built for Anagram

Anagram is the most powerful bass-specific multi-effect processor available. Cognate Audio is proud to join the Anagram ecosystem with a suite of blocks designed for the modern bassist.

All our blocks are designed, built and tested with bass and Anagram in mind. We've used our 30 years of DSP and audio software experience, but we haven't rehashed any existing plugins for this collection — all our work is crafted bespoke to harness the power of Anagram to give you musically intelligent and useful bass blocks.
