Native Instruments recently released a new virtual bass instrument called Jam Bass. They created this software with help from Drumasonic, a team known for making realistic instrument sounds. This new product captures exactly how a Fender Jazz Bass guitar sounds. You can access more than 280 different patterns and phrases, plus add effects from their Guitar Rig software to make your bass parts sound great in any music style.
The people at Drumasonic have won awards for making other instruments sounds like Icon Bass and Electric Sunburst. They recorded a high-quality USA-made bass guitar using careful sampling methods. Their advanced programming makes playing this virtual instrument feel just like playing a real bass guitar. Users love how natural everything feels when they press the keys.
You can blend sounds from different pickup positions on the guitar to change your tone. Play with fingers, pick techniques, or even slap patterns that work for funk, rock, or jazz styles. Professional bass players record all those patterns, which you can drag into your music software as MIDI notes. Start with clean direct sounds or warmer microphone settings, then add amps and effects from over 50 ready-made setups.
The software works perfectly with Native Instruments keyboards through their NKS system. Light guides on these keyboards show which keys play which sounds or techniques like slides and mutes. Several other companies make keyboards that work with this system as well, including Novation, Akai Pro, and Korg. Jam Bass needs Kontakt Player version 8.2.0 or newer software running on Windows 10 or MacOS 13 computers. You can buy Jam Bass right away for £89, including VAT, or €99.
