lines based on real performances

by top studio bass players, Virtual

Bassist covers almost every con-

ceivable music genre, delivering

superb bass sounds and phrases

for rock, pop, reggae, metal and

hip-hop, just to name but a few. It’s

sounds and phrases manually via

MIDI, just like a sound module.

as easy as it gets: press the keys

on your MIDI keyboard to select a

phrase and use your Mod wheel to

dynamically move through com-

plexity levels for your groove.

flowing, and deeply grooving bass

lines with all the feel of a real player.
