Then using IK’s cutting edge analog modeling expertise, the amp and effects rig of the electric bass is added to the sound chain.Īll of this gives MODO BASS the ability to create sound in real time based on the construction and components of the bass combined with the player technique, finesse and the ever-changing dynamic interactions between the two. Unlike traditional sample-based virtual instruments, MODO BASS utilizes modal synthesis technology and an ultra-optimized sound engine to model each string as a nonlinear resonator.Įach string’s acoustic behavior is determined by its physical parameters, as well modeling the action of the player as a nonlinear physical interaction with certain areas on the string surface and the interaction of the string with fretboard, body and pick-ups of the instrument.

Unlike traditional sample-based virtual instruments, MODO BASS utilizes a breakthrough technology to breathe life into bass tracks. MODO BASS isn’t a sample-based instrument, but rather a completely new technology where sound is generated by recreating the physical properties of a real instrument - everything that makes an instrument create sound is physically modeled and sound is synthesized in real time. You see, traditional virtual instruments are sample-based, meaning that sound is produced by triggering recorded samples of instruments. Every component that contributes to the unique tonal properties of a bass player playing an instrument has been modeled, and the effects of each component on the other ones - the interactions between each tone variable - has been recreated to give you a dynamic, living breathing and ever-changing performance. MODO BASS is the first technology of its kind that models the entire process of playing bass. 8 years in the making and developed in collaboration with one of Europe’s oldest universities, MODO BASS is a completely new breed of instrument that delivers the best of both worlds: the realism and sound of an instrument being played by a master musician and the convenience of a plug-in virtual instrument.īut MODO BASS isn’t a virtual instrument by definition, it’s a completely new technology that redefines realism from a computer based instrument. Sometimes you just can’t hire the right bass player, and some virtual instruments out there can leave you flat and uninspired.Įnter MODO BASS - the industry’s first true physically modeled instrument from the leader in analog modeling technology. MODO BASS® is the first physically modeled bass virtual instrument that gives you an unprecedented realistic performance for your bass tracks.Īs a producer, you want the best possible bass sound you can get… you want realism, credibility and authenticity that delivers the most accurate and inspiring performance.
