The Basstard – Bass Sampled to Destruction 🎸🔥

Unleash the raw power of The Basstard, a truly unique instrument that redefines the concept of orchestral bass with a twisted, gritty edge. This incredible library takes the upright bass to its breaking point, delivering everything from hauntingly beautiful tonal samples to gruesome percussive effects that will leave a mark on your music like never before.

Four Distinct Categories of Sound 🎶🛠️

• Tonal: Dive into traditional and unconventional multi-sampled articulations such as plucked, staccato, rubber mallet on strings, drumstick on strings, and more. Explore a range of textures and timbres that push the boundaries of tonal sampling.
• Percussive: Experience the explosive power of the bass with over 6-10 round-robin articulations, using everything from forks to baseball bats. Perfect for those gritty, motion-picture-inspired grooves.
• FX: This is where the chaos begins! Whether it’s bowing the bass with a baseball bat, power-drilling the strings, or reassembling the instrument in disturbing ways, the FX category will distort your perceptions and add a sense of dark energy to your compositions.
• Grooves: Get ready for over 300 tempo-synced grooves recorded at multiple core tempos (80, 90, 100, 110, 120, 130, 140 BPM). These live-groove elements add a dynamic, percussive backbone to your tracks, syncing seamlessly with your DAW host tempo.

The Basstard doesn’t just sample the bass; it deconstructs it.
