Bass Slapper

The most nuanced and realistic slap bass plugin ever created

Optimized for the Authentic Sound and Feel of Slap Bass

Slapping bass with your thumb makes such a cool sound, but it’s impossible to sample… right. Not anymore. 3,700 multisamples, with round-robin note assignments and articulations, nail the 70s bass sound that players like Larry Graham and Bootsy Collins used to power funk, disco, and pop.

Select a warm, old-school sound, or bright modern—even choose the neck position where notes play, because the same note sounds different at different positions. It’s all about slap bass realism.

Sampled with natural sustain—no looped samples
Control dynamics by selecting the number of velocity layers
11 interactive playing positions with automatic string switching
Full 5-string articulation: thumbing, popping, mutes & more
Choose 5 different legato modes, including “always” and “off”
4 amp sim + cabinet options, so your tone can purr or growl
Pre-amp FX: compressor, phaser, overdrive, triggered wah, chorus
Post-amp FX: delay (with sync-to-tempo) and reverb
Adjust MIDI parameters, such as velocity curve and depth
Alter sustain, transpose, note release sound artifacts, and more
Use as a plugin in your DAW or play as a standalone instrument
NKS-ready for NI Maschine and Komplete Kontrol
