(Read our review of Trilogy in the April 2003 issue of SOS.)ДЄ second, much older 'legacy product' also makes aВ welcome comeback here: Bass Legends, Spectrasonics' very first release from 1994, an excellent doubleвЂ‘CD Akai sound library which did an intensive sampling job on three leading bass players.

This streamlined approach helps to deвЂ‘clutter the patch directory and makes the instrument simpler to use, but if you want to access any of the original Trilogy factory patches, they're all faithfully preserved as single Trilian 'soundsources'.

Some former Trilogy patches have been merged at patch level: for example, the miked and DI versions of Trilogy's upright bass's three dynamic layers, previously presented as six separate patches, are now united in aВ single Trilian patch. Alternatively, as Trilian and Trilogy will run side-by-side within aВ project, you can continue to runВ your old Trilogy patches, with one caveat: Spectrasonics warn that 'Trilogy is no longer supported on the newest operating systems and hardware, so may not perform as expected.вЂќ However, Trilogy user data can't be imported, so if you want to use your existing custom patches in the new instrument you'll have to recreate them manually. Trilogy die-hards will be pleased to note that Trilian incorporates Trilogy's 3.1GB core library along with updated versions of its factory patches (see below for details).

Trilian groups the most important top-level controls on one page for quick editing. Other Trilogy owners will get aВ substantial discount on the new module - and if you're in doubt which category you fall into, you can follow the 'upgrade' link on the Spectrasonics Trilian instrument web page and check what your price (if any) will be.

The same applies to all Trilogy Intel Mac customers.

Having served up pumping bass lines to the trade since 2003, Trilogy has now been discontinued, but the good news is that anyone who bought the instrument during 2009 will receive aВ free upgrade to Trilian.

Well, almost everything: once installation is complete, users are advised to download updates to the player software, sound library and patch library before attempting to make music, but, ironically, Trilian's 'check for updates' button didn't work! Fortunately Spectrasonics' onвЂ‘line updates page isn't hard to find and the updates restored the impotent button to full health. The tutorial video clip included on the installation DVD explained that IВ needed to direct the installer to the folder level above my existing Steam folder - and, having heeded that advice, everything was plain sailing. Installation and on-line authorisation took about 90 minutes and went fine for me, with hardly any swearing. For those who own both, the v1.1 version of Omnisphere can play Trilian patches, but as Omnisphere has more parameters than Trilian, the reverse is not true. As the Trilian core library is large, this may necessitate having to move your Steam folder to aВ new, larger-capacity drive, aВ straightforward operation that is explained in Trilian's printed user guide.

The Californian company have now completed aВ similarly radical transformation of the popular Trilogy bass module: renamed Trilian, this soupedвЂ‘up instrument now enjoys all the advantages of Steam and sports aВ brand new 34GB core library to boot.ДЄll of Spectrasonics SteamвЂ‘powered instruments (to date, Omnisphere and Trilian) must be installed in the same folder, so if you've already installed Omnisphere on your internal or external hard drive, you're obliged to locate Trilian's software and samples in the same place. That evolution occurred via the creation of Omnisphere's large, imaginative sample library, and also courtesy of the intricate programming functions introduced in Spectrasonics' custom 'Steam' sound engine. Those of you who upgraded from Spectrasonics' Atmosphere to the allвЂ‘singing, allвЂ‘dancing Omnisphere over the last year will have enjoyed its remarkable metamorphosis from aВ comparatively simple plugвЂ‘in instrument to aВ complex, highly programmable and versatile sampleвЂ‘based soft synth. Spectrasonics' new SteamвЂ‘driven bass module bundles 34GB of electric, acoustic and synth basses into one package.
