Rico Belled Posted January 6, 2022 Posted January 6, 2022 I'm a pro bass player, and I have to say: IT'S AWESOME! Damn, I've produced tracks here at my house where the quick demo done with Modo sounded so good, and realistic, I never even bothered redoing with a real bass. R 7

R Nice, I'd bet with decent audio to MIDI you could really get some great tracks and with some basses you probably don't have at your disposal (and if you do have all the basses in MODO BASS at your disposal for real, I'm both jealous and happy for you). 1
Sidney Earl Goodroe Posted January 6, 2022 Posted January 6, 2022 Grab it quick!!! Before they change their mind and decide they cut the price too much. 1 3

Ha! I don't have ALL the basses, but most of the typical ones! Audio to Midi has WAY too much latency for me, as cool as it is, to play ACTUAL bass, even though the newest "Midi Guitar" or whatever it's called is decent. Pocket is everything and I can feel any RTL that's more than 5ms immediately...

telecode 101 Posted January 7, 2022 Posted January 7, 2022 Very cool product. Has become my most used BASS sim lately. 1
user905133 Posted January 7, 2022 Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) I like changing the instrument parameters to change the sounds; seems far more "intuitive" than selecting randomly named bass presets. As for cost, I got mine "free." I had tried to get ST3 mid-2020 but was told by IK it hadn't been available for a long time (since ST4 came out). Then a few months later, TS2 MAX was on sale and it had ST3!!!!! So I got that and a whole bunch of other "freebies," one of which was MODO BASS! ? Edited January 7, 2022 by User 905133 fixed out of order word 2
ZincT Posted January 7, 2022 Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) I call it Goto Bass as I use it on almost everything. I just wish they would add an upright/double bass; then I wouldn't need anything else. I guess the modelling engine isn't really designed for acoustic instruments though.

My workaround is to record the real fretless bass, which is a lot easier than programming MIDI if the bass is well written and no rearranging is required. In all other cases I'd prefer a VI over the real thing. 1
