Bass Machina

Unleash pure low-end domination with Bass Machina, a brutal multi-sampled virtual bass library built for crushing grooves, intricate runs, and slamming metal tones.

Craig Peters meticulously sampled his custom 5-string Kiesel bass, featuring a swamp ash body with antique ash treatment and a 3-piece walnut & bloodwood neck for maximum resonance, clarity, and punch. Strung with D’Addario Pro Steel .45-.130 strings, this beast delivers aggressive attack, deep growls, and a crisp top-end bite.

Captured with pristine detail, Bass Machina features pick sustains, taps, slaps, pops, and mutes, plus programmable slides at various tempos, and full control over hammer-ons and pull-offs for fluid and realistic performances.

Shape your sound with raw D.I. recordings, ready to be run through your favorite amp sims and plugins. The intuitive and fully customizable UI gives you real-time articulation switching, advanced mapping options, a powerful sequencer, auto-strummer, sequencer, and a full FX rack—everything you need to build devastating basslines with precision and power.

Soundiron have packed the user interface with powerful sound-shaping and performance controls to give you complete flexibility combined with playability. The Main presets contain every sample in the library and a host of powerful performance features. The Lite presets feature fewer round-robins for situations where less RAM usage is important. The DI presets feature the pure bass guitar tone, recorded directly in with no preamp or other sound-coloring hardware in between, ready to reamp with the built-in effects or any other way you choose. The Simple variations of the preset omit this option and include a standard cross-over point for each string going up the scale.

The interface is rounded-out by a modular FX rack panel, with 27 different DSP effect modules that you can assign in any of 8 available slots, in any order that you wish. You’ll find classic phaser, flanger, delay, distortion, bass & guitar amp and cab simulators, compressors, EQ, rotator and so much more.

The Reverb effect includes Soundiron's favorite convolution reverb impulse responses, including 99 different rooms, halls, chambers and outdoor environments, plus another 40 custom FX impulses to radically transform the sound and open up whole new worlds of musical possibility. The Soundiron team have also added a great bank of FX rack chain factory presets to get you started!
