The Standalone is the dedicated black interface. The Expansion is an add-on expansion to the Pure Synth® Platinum Free player and unlocks all of the sounds within. All sounds, size, samples, and programmer are the same. The benefit of the expansion is that you can mix and match different expansion packs in one unified interface, instead of two different interfaces.

What is Dedicated vs Expansion?
The #1 Hybrid Bass Synth Library
BASSalicious is a virtual analog and wavetable synthesizer with high quality streaming samples. This hybrid bass synth can recreate any synth bass sound imaginable as well as very high quality acoustic and electric bass emulations. The secret lies in our analog modeling synth and filters that creates an ultra analog sound that is organic and punchy as heck. We even created our own Phat Table™ technology that is a custom solution for making wavetables sound bigger and phatter and with 4-oscillators to stack, this wil be your #1 go-to synthesizer.

Receive all 351 of the factory presets from BASSAlicious Version 2 for Pure Synth Platinum. Because, we have standardized on the Pure Synth® architecture, it makes it easy to convert existing presets; as a result, we were able to faithfully reproduce the legendary sounds of BASSalicious 2 and make them available as an expansion for Pure Synth® Platinum. Now have all of the sounds of the BASSalicious 2 presets inside of your Pure Synth Platinum®
BONUS: All previous users of BASSalicious 2, will get the expansion pack for FREE. If you already purchased BASSalicious version 2 first, then you purchased Pure Synth Platinum®, you can add this expansion pack for FREE for Pure Synth Platinum®. If you sell BASSalicious 2, you will no longer receive the Expansion for Pure Synth®. Bassalicious is not a free update to Pure Synth Platinum®. Conversely, if you purchased Pure Synth Platinum®, but never purchased either BASSalicious 2 or 1, then you will have to purchase the expansion in order to get the sounds.
If you don't know anything about us, know this one thing: We hate sounds that don't sound like the radio. We made sure that this plugin sounds like the radio and that it had the same warmth and analog feel as the hardware. This was no easy task, so we were forced to create our own Phat Tables™ synthesis type of oscillator that would thick and warm. We believe BASSalicious can stand up to even the best synth bass software as well as hardware.
From the Original Hardware Source
We've sampled the actual hardware using high quality converters that are very transparent thus to keep the original sound and feel of the actual units. And yes, we must confess, we did use some of our secret sauce when it comes to preamps and analog gear to phatten things up even more, but we kept the core essence of the sound.
If you know anything about any synth bass plugin, you know that one of the most important feature is the FILTER section. We spent considerable amount of time modeling our filter section to match the responses and "feel" of a classic Ladder Filter type. We've also inserted physical models of exact circuit components to add a truly organic and warm sounding bass. All of our algorithms and synthesis are custom programmed by people who are musicians, so you know the sound will be tailored and crafted to please, even the most pickiest of bass lovers.
We have also created our own wavetables called Phat Tables™. If you know anything about the physics of a wavetable, you should be able to hear that at a certain point they can sound very thin. Well our new technology solves the age old issue of aliasing by using a multi-sampled approach so that each slice is a rich table and retains the full frequency response without band-limiting. Now you combine this with automation of the phase, and unlimited modulation and it makes for some amazing synth bass sounds.
Stacking and Layering
Stack up to four sounds at one time and all with their own separate layers, splits, and zones. Remember just one of our sounds can sound like 5, so stacking different bass elements makes for a super thick and meaty sound bass sound. If you're not looking for meat, then this plugin is not for you.
