As with MODO Drum there is a very clear and intuitive GUI and an almost limited soundscape for modifying bass guitar sounds. The aim is to replicate a whole host of bass guitars, playing styles, electronics and so on. MODO Bass, now in version 1.5, was the first MODO instrument and is entirely based on sophisticated modelling. * for added realism, run MODO Bass through Amplitube (or any other bass amp modeller) add it as a VST insert to the MODO Bass channel in your DAW. I am, however, surprised that there is no groove library.Īt the time of writing MODO Bass is available for €129.99 + sales taxes (ie VAT) Even if you do play bass, there is a world of extra tones available here for music production. I did find some of the tones a little artificial sounding at times, but overall in a mix for all practical purposes indistinguishable from a physical bass guitar. If you do not play bass or know someone who does then this is a good fantastically customisable substitute, perfect for keyboard players. I was seriously impressed by the brilliant GUI of MODO Drum, the ease of customisation and sheer punchiness of the sounds. I am a great fan of IK Multimedia I have had and used Amplitube since version 3*, and really enjoy using Philharmonik. I stress that the opinions following are mine alone and based upon my personal experiences in a Tested reviewed by Howard Worf, for us here at Guitarist Guild.įrom IK Multimedia, the creators of MODO Drum is MODO Bass.
