MIDI CC controls are freely assignable, too, which is great, although the keyswitches are fixed.
Things which can’t be done while playing in reality, such as moving pickup locations or changing string type, need to be selected with the mouse and will cause the sound to drop out briefly while the model recalculates.īecause of all the flexibility, there are more controls than on a typical sampled bass, but it all generally makes sense and there are no real surprises. The parameters which could be controlled on the fly on a real bass can be controlled by MIDI CC or keyswitches live. In addition to the bass, the bassist is also modeled, with fingerstyle, pick and slap articulations, playing styles from soft to hard, and parameters such as hand position, degree of muting and vibrato. Strings and setup are also configurable, although these are selections and not continuous controls: low, standard or high action fresh, broken in or old strings and roundwounds or flatwounds.

This also allows a few configurations which are not included by default, but are quite common in the real world, such as PJ or twin MM-style humbuckers.

You can, however, freely configure electronics based on the available models, as long as you don’t need more than two pickups (well, two magnetic pickups plus a bridge piezo). The basses themselves aren’t too configurable – you can make any of them 5 or 4 strings, with the option of drop D tuning on 4 strings, but you can’t change parameters such as scale length, number of frets, bridge mass etc. Sure, there are lots of other basses out there, and one could always think of more basses to add, but it’s a really good list of basses one might reasonably expect a studio bassist to own. They’re generally the basses most used on large numbers of classic recordings – Fender Precision and Jazz, Gibson EB (solid body variant) and Thunderbird, a Rick, a Hofner violin bass and more modern active basses from MusicMan, Yamaha, Warwick and Ibanez. Rather than focusing on a particular bass guitar, MODO Bass includes models of several, well… models. Being a bassist who also makes sampled instruments and whose favorite virtual piano is the physically modeled Pianoteq, I obviously wanted to get my hands on it and put it through its paces.
