Free Bass Virtual Instruments & Sound Banks

ZUB Bass

ZUB Bass virtual instrument is a free bass sound bank for Kontakt, by IRMG Audio.

Imagine using a product that is not suffering from an “Identity Crisis”. Zub Bass is a purpose built, Kontakt 5.6 Sub Bass patch and sample library that was created by a musician currently living off his art.

The beauty of Zub Bass is its ease of use and its uncompromising quality. Rather then fatten the Libary with unusable patches for marketing purposes, Zub Bass has 15 “no corner cut” patches. Every patch has ADSR knobs built in the GUI and an additional ZS or Zub Slide Knob (portamento slide) built into the main interface. Being a Kontakt Instrument, all the knobs can be automated if you choose.

The only way to provide the best quality bass was to spend hours over every sample and to create many of them. ZUB Bass currently ships with over 560 44k, 24-bit samples with competitively priced expansions coming in the future. Every sample is EQ’d, lightly compressed, tuned and limited to you the best possible product.

Your music will sound fuller without becoming cloudy, and harder hitting without biting. Your welcome. Try ZUB Bass today.
