Summary

EZbass is a bass software designed for songwriters and producers to create realistic bass performances through two sampled bass guitars, built-in MIDI basslines, audio-to-MIDI conversion, and tools to arrange and customize bass tracks within the software.

Main Features

• Two meticulously sampled bass instruments: a modern Alembic bass and a vintage Fender Jazz bass, each with distinct tonal qualities and pickup configurations allowing for blending or separate use.
• Included MIDI basslines covering broad musical styles, fully editable inside EZbass using a 'Grid Editor' for articulations, timing, velocity, and manual writing.
• Automatic bassline creation from existing drum or keyboard MIDI tracks to provide matching bass performances quickly.
• 'Tap2Find' feature enabling users to input rhythms and receive matching bass groove variations.
• Audio Tracker functionality to convert monophonic guitar, bass, or percussive audio recordings into MIDI basslines for further editing.
• Built-in effects, amp and cab simulations, and presets to shape the bass tone effectively.
• Compatibility with major DAWs supporting VST3, AU, and AAX plugin formats.

Instrument Details

The modern bass library features an Alembic bass noted for its dynamic and expressive tone with multiple playing styles (finger, pick, slap). The vintage bass library is a classic Fender Jazz bass, ideal for mellow genres such as jazz, blues, or country, sampled finger and pick styles.

User Workflow

Users can add bass grooves instantly, customize chord progressions and transitions, replace MIDI parts while keeping chord structures, and adjust play style parameters like octave, velocity, and complexity. The interface provides visual feedback with real-time note display, tuning controls, and an accessible 'Song Track' for organizing performances.

System and Host Requirements

Requires 5 GB free disk space, 64-bit Windows 10 or newer (recommended 8 GB RAM), or macOS 10.13 or higher with Intel or Apple Silicon processors. Compatible with common DAWs including Ableton Live, Cubase, Logic Pro, Pro Tools, and others.
