Toontrack Debuts Funk Fusion EBX for Vintage Bass Grooves

Toontrack just released the Funk Fusion EBX expansion pack and updated EZbass to version 1.3.0. Funk Fusion EBX combines the groove of classic funk with the complexity of modern fusion. The bass in this expansion can produce a wide range of sounds, from vintage thump to sharp, high-fidelity tones.

The expansion bridges two genres where the bass has always been the rhythmic backbone. They chose a high-quality current-era bass that a skilled luthier built. This bass can handle the subtleties of jazz and the power of rock.

It was sampled using finger, slap, and a new left-hand mute technique. The left-hand mute creates tight, distinct performances similar to palm muting on an electric guitar. This articulation is essential for funk and fusion sounds.

Funk Fusion EBX has many presets and basic basslines tailored to the genres. The presets range from classic to modern, covering muffled, big, spacey, and saturated sounds. Some presets blend an FM synth layer with the regular bass.

The MIDI content provides everything you need for funk or fusion-inspired tracks. This expansion delivers slap, pop, slide, rhythmic, syncopated, and cosmic groovy sounds. It's perfect if you want the bass to play a more prominent role in your songs.

The expansion features a custom five-string electric bass sampled with finger, slap, and left-hand mute techniques. Its range is from A0 to E4. The mix-ready presets cover classic, modern, saturated, and semi-synthetic tones with a bass synth layer.

It also includes a custom MIDI library designed specifically for funk and fusion styles. Funk Fusion EBX offers an instrument that spans vintage charm to the modern edge. It expands EZbass with sounds ideal for these genres.
