HD Bass – Colour
Psychoacoustic Bass Harmonizer in Colour Format
Experience deep, rich bass without the bulk. HD Bass–Colour brings the psychoacoustic magic of Waves’ Renaissance Bass into a tactile, analog hardware module. Built on brain-based acoustic principles, it generates harmonic overtones to trick your ears into hearing profound low-end—even on compact speakers.
🔊 Key Features
Psychoacoustic Harmonic Generation
Inspired by Waves’ MaxxBass technology, HD Bass–Colour taps into the ear‑brain synergy: its algorithm analyzes the original low-frequency content, then synthesizes harmonics to recreate missing fundamentals, creating the illusion of sub‑bass without stressing playback systems .
 
 
Simple, Intuitive Control
Much like the streamlined two-knob interface of Renaissance Bass, HD Bass–Colour offers an easy-to-use workflow. Dial in the Frequency to select the harmonic generation point and adjust Intensity to blend in depth. No complex menus—just straightforward control .
 
Clean and Transparent
Rather than muddying the mix, the harmonics remain precise and defined. Perfect for bass guitars, kick drums, sub synths—and even full mixes—without sacrificing clarity or headroom .
 
🎨 Colour Format Integration
HD Bass–Colour adheres strictly to the open, modular DIYRE Colour format. Here’s what that means:
Open, 500‑series modular compliance: drop it into any Colour Palette—no licensing or proprietary limits .
Standardized electrical specs: unity buffer gain, >10 kΩ input, <1 kΩ output, ±16 V power, ~38 mA draw—ensuring seamless integration 
 
Analog “colouration vibe”: although focused on harmonics rather than saturation, its sonic profile aligns with other Colour modules—designed to impart subtle harmonic character 
 
🛠 Typical Use-Cases
On individual tracks: Plug-in the HD Bass–Colour into a Colour Palette for bass guitar, kick drums, or synth lines needing added punch and depth—especially when targeting systems that lack true sub output.
On mix or bus: Parallel processing with subtle settings can glue and lift a mix’s low-end, enhancing cohesion without overwhelming.
 
Creative sound design: Push the intensity for unique textures—HD Bass–Colour thrives when pushed, offering both subtle weight and bold harmonic character.
