Toontrack EZbass Virtual Bass Guitar Software (Windows)

Toontrack knows that when artists are chasing their creative impulses, they want to be able to lay down ideas quickly. With that in mind, they outfitted EZbass with several powerful and intuitive methods for crafting basslines. EZbass’s “Add Groove” instantly generates a driving 8th-note bassline that follows an inputted chord progression. Want to match a bassline to previously recorded MIDI keys or drums? No problem! EZbass will create a line that locks in both rhythmical and melodically. Got a rhythmic idea kicking around your head? With EZbass, you can simply tap in a rhythm and the software will match it to numerous groove variations found in EZbass’s MIDI library. EZbass also has the ability to convert audio tracks, including guitar, keyboard, and drum performances, to MIDI and generate a complimentary bassline.
