NEW: Thriller Bass Mercury-8

This exclusive patch for Cherry Audio Mercury-8 – the brand-new, highly accurate emulation of the legendary Roland Jupiter-8 – has been specifically designed to recreate the unique analog production environment of Westlake Studios, where Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” was created.

Patch Features

This patch fully exploits Mercury-8’s extensive effect racks to reconstruct the characteristic sonic aesthetic of Bruce Swedien’s recording techniques:

Analog Studio Atmosphere

• Subtle analog noise for authentic vintage warmth
• Recreation of the natural room characteristics of Westlake Studios

Bruce Swedien Bass Signal Chain

• Emulation of his legendary bass box with DI output
• Resonant, booming overtones that create the characteristic “punchy” bass sound
• Precisely recreated frequency enrichment in the lower midrange

Dynamics Processing

• Gentle bass compressor based on analysis of the original track
• Specially calibrated to sharpen the initial attack and transients
• Gives the sound the typical “punch” and presence of the original

This patch is the result of detailed analysis and years of experience in recreating the original “Thriller” sounds – perfect for producers who want to use the authentic 80s bass sound in modern productions.
