Because Modo Bass operates on real-time synthesis instead of samples, it can deliver bass tone that's practically indistinguishable from a real-life performance. And you can shape your sound just like you would with a real bass: customize your string gauges and even their age, control where your playing hand would address the strings, adjust pick thickness, and even emulate active or passive electronics.
Multiple playing styles for advanced bass lines
Modo Bass allows you to choose from three playing styles — pluck, slap, and pick. Thanks to full MIDI control and keyswitching, you can switch between different styles on the fly, just like a real bassist. You even have control over the position of your virtual musician's playing hand, allowing for far more realism than you would typically achieve with a software instrument.
Wide range of bass models, amplifiers, and effects
If you've ever tried IK Multimedia's AmpliTube software, you already know that IK sets a high standard for amp modeling. They've applied their modeling know-how to Modo Bass to bring you 12 bass guitar models (based on the most legendary basses ever made), plus 20 interchangeable pickup models, seven stompbox effects, and two bass amplifier models (derived from AmpliTube).
