What MODO BASS Thunder Bass does
The developer describes its character as extensive low end and long sustain, a sound that has been a rock staple since 1963. Each individual bass is recorded without samples, so the instrument spends more hard-drive space on its own sound data, and an amp effects electric bass rig built on IK’s analog modeling is added to the signal chain. The plugin is offered as VST3, VST2, AU and AAX for Windows and macOS, and it runs on macOS 10.13 or higher with native Apple Silicon support.
Key features
- Rock bass voicing. The instrument is voiced on the Thunder Bass model, a rock icon since 1963, with the strong low end the developer highlights.
- Long sustain. The developer describes the instrument as having long sustain, which suits held notes and sustained bass lines.
- Analog amp rig. Amp effects of an electric bass rig, drawn from IK’s analog modeling expertise, are added to the instrument.
- Sample-free instruments. Each bass is built without samples, so the sound is generated from modeled data rather than recorded sample playback.
Compatibility
Builds are offered as VST3, VST2, AU and AAX for Windows and macOS (64-bit), with native Apple Silicon support and a minimum of macOS 10.13 and 4 GB of RAM.
