MODO BASS by IK Multimedia is the first-ever physically modeled bass virtual instrument, offering unprecedented realism for your bass tracks. For producers seeking the most authentic and inspiring bass tones, MODO BASS is the perfect solution when hiring a session bassist isn’t an option. While traditional sample-based virtual instruments can feel static, MODO BASS changes the game with groundbreaking technology that models the entire bass-playing process.

Revolutionary Physically Modeled Technology

Unlike traditional sample-based instruments, MODO BASS uses modal synthesis to generate sound in real time. Not only does this approach simulate the physical properties of real bass guitars, but it also accounts for the subtle nuances that make live performances unique. Developed over eight years in collaboration with leading European universities, it recreates every aspect of a bass guitar’s sound, including string interactions, fretboard dynamics, and body resonances. As a result, MODO BASS delivers a dynamic, ever-changing sound that feels alive—just like a real bassist.

Unparalleled Real-Time Sound Synthesis

MODO BASS stands out because it models each string as a nonlinear resonator and factors in its interaction with the fretboard, body, and pickups. Furthermore, IK Multimedia’s expertise in analog modeling adds authenticity to the overall sound. By combining these elements, it recreates not only the bass itself but also the player’s technique and performance nuances. Unlike sample-based plugins, which rely on pre-recorded sounds, MODO BASS generates its tone in real time. Consequently, it delivers a natural, hyper-realistic sound without a heavy memory footprint.

Features Overview

A Versatile Collection of 14 Iconic Bass Models

To cater to various musical styles, MODO BASS includes 14 bass models spanning every genre, from rock to jazz to metal. Moreover, two additional models introduced in version 1.5—Metal (based on the Dingwall® Combustion NG2) and Imperial (inspired by the Fodera® Custom)—expand the tonal variety even further.

• Metal: Perfect for drop A tuning, this 5-string bass delivers a tight, powerful sound ideal for metalheads.
• Imperial: A 6-string bass with rich, resonant tones suitable for funk, jazz, and fusion.

Full Customization Options

With MODO BASS, you can tweak every aspect of your bass to create unique sounds.

• Play Style: Choose between finger, slap, pick, or muted playing styles. Additionally, you can modify parameters such as finger placement, picking force, and technique.
• Strings: Customize string type, gauge, tuning, action, and age to achieve the desired timbre and sustain. For instance, you can switch a 4-string bass to a 5- or 6-string setup with ease.
• Electronics: Select from 24 pickup models, adjust pickup positions, and toggle between active and passive electronics. What’s more, you can blend a piezo pickup signal for added versatility.
• Effects and Amps: Add depth with seven stompbox effects and two classic amps (solid-state and tube), derived from IK’s acclaimed AmpliTube series.

MIDI and DAW Integration

To ensure maximum flexibility, MODO BASS supports full MIDI control. This allows real-time adjustments to vibrato, playing style, muting, and more. Additionally, keyswitches enable seamless transitions between techniques, while DAW automation ensures precise control over performance nuances.

Why MODO BASS Stands Out

• Groundbreaking Technology: Physically modeled sound with no samples.
• Dynamic Realism: Models the interaction between player and instrument for lifelike performances.
• Endless Customization: Virtually limitless combinations of bass styles, tones, and configurations.
• Compact and Efficient: Minimal memory footprint compared to sample libraries.
