The engine includes realistic transitions and repetitions, with the option to dial in fret noise and vibrato for performances that are polished, expressive, and detailed.
Play it two ways
Upright Bass offers two ways to compose bass parts: a pattern-based instrument for creating instant grooves and a melody instrument for crafting more intricate melodies note-by-note. Seamlessly integrated, these instruments make it simple to craft basslines for any genre, whatever your needs and workflow.
Patterns to inspire
Effortlessly browse more than 220 riffs and picking patterns, adapting the pitches further in your sequencer with MIDI drag and drop. Use swing and humanize controls to fit the groove of your productions, and shift accents between downbeats and offbeats for true feel.

Play it with Kontrol keyboards
