Gorilla is a complete bass processing suite from Aurora DSP, built to cover everything from clean, warm low end to aggressive modern bass tones in one plugin. It combines three different preamp voices with a parallel three-band engine, so you can treat lows, mids and highs separately instead of fighting with a single distorted signal. It also runs as a standalone app, which makes it handy for practice and writing away from a DAW session.

Key Features

• Three preamps inspired by classic bass amps, each with Clean and Drive modes
• Three-band parallel engine with independent compression and saturation per band
• Dual octave layers, adding one octave below and one above the original signal
• Four-slot IR mixer for blending cabinet responses, with support for your own IRs
• Four-band tone stack, maximizers, output limiter, tuner and artist presets

How to Download

1. Make sure your Mac meets the requirements listed below.
2. Download from the official site after signing in to an Aurora DSP account.
3. Run the installer, then open Gorilla in your DAW or as the standalone app and activate the trial or your licence.

System Requirements

Aurora DSP lists macOS 10.13 High Sierra or newer, a 64-bit Intel or Apple silicon processor and 4 GB of RAM. You will need a DAW that hosts AU, VST3 or AAX plugins, or you can use the included standalone version, plus an internet connection for first activation.

FAQs

Is Gorilla only for heavy music?

No. The three preamps cover clean and vintage-style tones as well as driven sounds, so it works for pop, rock, funk and metal bass alike.

Can I use Gorilla without a DAW?

Yes. A standalone version is included, so you can practise, tune and shape tones without opening a recording session.
