Adds a detuned copy of the bass whose beating stays on the tempo grid on every note. The chosen harmonic k beats once per Rate note value, and harmonic n beats n/k times as fast, so every harmonic is on the grid. - The copy is read from a delay line whose delay falls one period of the tracked note per beat cycle (r = 1 + B/(k f0)) and jumps back exactly one period, crossfaded over 6 ms. On a periodic note the jump has no seam: the output matches the ideal sum within 0.003 on harmonics 1-4. - The delay follows the host's beat position, shifted by the lookahead, so beat peaks land on the grid; free-running when stopped. - Low cut: LR4 high-pass on the copy, the bass split by the same crossover, so the sub does not beat and keeps its level. - Depth, Width, Phase, Gate, Output, Snap, Bypass. Pitch from audio (about 67 ms lookahead) or MIDI. - Editor: one bar of the beat per harmonic with the grid and a playhead. - Catalog, workflows, editor-check, docs, signal chain and site copy.

# Signal chain
|
||
|
||
The order of the Bass Foundry plugins in a chain matters. Anvil, Lathe, Temper,
|
||
Knurl, Planish and Braze each detect the pitch from the audio they receive. If a plugin earlier
|
||
in the chain changes the audio, the pitch detection after it can go wrong.
|
||
|
||
## Recommended order
|
||
|
||
```text
|
||
bass track: synth → Lathe → Temper → Planish → Braze → Knurl → Patina → Weld
|
||
bass bus: Anvil → (bus compression, clipping) → Crucible
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
- **Lathe and Temper before Knurl.** They hear the plain synth, where the pitch
|
||
is clear.
|
||
- **Planish after the distortion, before Knurl.** OTT usually comes after
|
||
distortion. Planish's band edges follow the tracked note, so it also needs a
|
||
clear pitch: after Knurl, use MIDI.
|
||
- **Braze after Planish.** Its copy beats against the bass, so a pitch
|
||
detector after it is less sure: Knurl after Braze works best in MIDI mode.
|
||
Weld after Braze sees the beating as a looser match between the layers; if
|
||
it reads Loose, move Braze to the bus after Anvil, with Low cut at or above
|
||
Anvil's Split. There it reads the pitch from Anvil's clean sub, and the sub
|
||
stays out of the beating.
|
||
- **Knurl last among the tracked plugins.** See below.
|
||
- **Patina after the tracked plugins.** It does not detect pitch, so the order
|
||
does not change its result.
|
||
- **Weld after every plugin with latency on its track.** Weld can delay its own
|
||
layer but cannot move it earlier. If FL Studio does not compensate the
|
||
sidechain route, any latency added after Weld's input on the main layer makes
|
||
that layer late.
|
||
- **Anvil on the bus, in MIDI mode when Knurl is in the chain.**
|
||
- **Crucible at the end of the chain you want to resample.**
|
||
|
||
## Knurl and pitch detection
|
||
|
||
Knurl's patterns make every second (or third) cycle quieter. That is a real
|
||
sub-octave in the signal, so a pitch detector after Knurl hears the note one
|
||
octave low, or with Triple an octave and a fifth low. Measured with the suite's
|
||
tracker on a saw bass:
|
||
|
||
- From C2 (65 Hz) upwards, Double, Fry (the default), Triple and Gallop make
|
||
the detector read the wrong octave for about 85 % of the note.
|
||
- Below C2 the false sub-octave is under 30 Hz, out of the detection range, so
|
||
low notes are tracked correctly.
|
||
- Level and time jitter add 5–25 false note starts per second. Anvil restarts
|
||
its phase on each, Lathe, Temper and Planish retune on each.
|
||
|
||
When a tracked plugin must come after Knurl, select **MIDI** as its pitch source
|
||
and route the bass's MIDI notes to it.
|
||
|
||
## Latency
|
||
|
||
Each tracked plugin adds its own lookahead: Anvil 80 ms, Lathe, Temper,
|
||
Planish and Braze about 67 ms, Knurl about 71 ms, Patina about 45 ms. A full chain is
|
||
about 400 ms. FL
|
||
Studio compensates this for playback and rendering, but playing a MIDI keyboard
|
||
through the full chain is not practical. Write with a shorter chain and add the
|
||
rest for the mix.
