Bassesland is a virtual bass software that covers a wide range of sounds, from an electric bass guitar or an acoustic double bass, to the vintage bass synthesizers. - Rotary switch selector to change between 24 basses - Virtual Bass Pedalboard. Provides 5 virtual pedals which can certainly offer you a wide range of bass sounds: - Low Frequency Oscillator (LFO) (Virtual Pedal #1): The knobs include modulation depth, frequency, offset for expressive Tremolo effects. - 5-Band Parametric Equalizer (Virtual Pedal #2): EQ composed of five parametric filters with frequency, bandwidth and gain knobs. Equalization allows you to lower or raise the volume of specific frequency ranges for bass and treble manipulation. Also contains global gain wheel to adjust the overall volume (Turn the wheel to right to boost a band, or to left to decrease its level). - Compressor Sustainer Effects (Virtual Pedal #3): 'Attack' determines how fast the compression reacts. 'Sustain' controls the amount of compression and 'Release' how quickly the sound fades when a note ends. - Moog Lowpass Filter (Virtual Pedal #4): It contains two functions: "Pitch", controls the Filter's cutoff frequency and "Resonance" emphasizes the cutoff frequency. - Reverb Bass (Virtual Pedal #5): Customizable with user controls for: size room, width room, damping factor & mixer. Bass players will find that the module adds richness to the final sound with the proportion of the " dry / wet " signal in the output. - Includes Bass Harmonics for Fingered Bass, Picked Bass and Muted Bass in notes starting from C5. - 64 presets ready to play: for tremolo and reverb effects, modulations for parametric Eq, and Compressor Sustainer parameters to modulate Synth Bass Pads. Creating new sounds is as simple as combining these presets in different ways and tweaking any associated parameters from there as desired. - Portamento (Glide control): A gliding effect that allows a sound to change pitch at a gradual rate, rather than abruptly, when a new key is pressed or MIDI note sent. - MIDI Channel selector : 1 to 16 channels. - FULL MIDI Automation: Complete MIDI Continuous Controller. You can use this to automate parameter changes from a sequencer, or to control your synthesizers from an external MIDI control surface.

 Virtual Bass Pedalboard. Provides 5 customizable virtual pedals which can certainly offer you a wide
range of bass sounds:
o Low Frequency Oscillator (LFO) (Virtual Pedal #1): The knobs include modulation depth,
frequency, offset for expressive Tremolo effects.
o 5-Band Parametric Equalizer (Virtual Pedal #2): EQ composed of five parametric filters with
frequency, bandwidth and gain knobs. Equalization allows you to lower or raise the volume of
specific frequency ranges for bass and treble manipulation. Also contains global gain wheel to
adjust the overall volume (Turn the wheel to right to boost a band, or to left to decrease its
level).

3. o Compressor Sustainer Effects (Virtual Pedal #3): 'Attack' determines how fast the
compression reacts. 'Sustain' controls the amount of compression and 'Release' how quickly the
sound fades when a note ends.

cutoff frequency and "Resonance" emphasizes the cutoff frequency.
o Reverb Bass (Virtual Pedal #5): Customizable with user controls for: size room, width room,
damping factor & mixer. Bass players will find that the module adds richness to the final sound
with the proportion of the “dry / wet" signal in the output.
 64 presets ready to play: for ‘LFO Tremolo’ and ‘Reverb’ effects, modulations for Parametric EQ’, and
‘Compressor Sustainer’ parameters to modulate Synth Bass Pads. Creating new sounds is as simple as
combining these presets in different ways and tweaking any associated parameters from there as
desired.

via MIDI or host automation.

4. Bassesland Instruments List Description:
Bassesland aims to cover all basses, putting acoustic, electric and bass synth instruments under
one interface with built-in virtual pedalboard.
 1 - Electro Acoustic Bass
An acoustic-electric bass design, containing built-in pickup to provide a versatile electro-
acoustic sound. The hollow body instead of a solid body adds more natural projection and
volume to the bass.

2 - Fretless Electric Bass
Fretless bass usable for either rhythm or melody. Fretless basses have a distinct sound,
because the absence of frets means that the string must be pressed down directly onto

5. the wood of the fingerboard as with the double bass.
 3 - Jazz Electric Bass
Bass guitar suitable mainly for jazz with dynamic style.
 4 - Fingered Bass and Harmonics
Expressive finger bass. Notes starting from C5 produce harmonics.
 5 - Picked Bass and Harmonics
Vigorous picked bass sound. Notes starting from C5 produce harmonics.
 6 - Muted Bass and Harmonics
Upper register bass harmonic sound, with accentuated fingering “pop” similar to playing
muted guitar style with the palm of the picking hand on the bridge. Notes starting from
C5 produce harmonics.
 7 - Slapped Electric Bass
Slap bass with punchy power.
 8 - Bass Slides (Glissandos)
A bunch of slides bass (mainly in the key range: C3-F5), in order to simulate a simple,
but effective technique, which involves sliding a finger from one fret to another.
 9 - Fuzz Bass Overdrive
Heavy overdrive rock bass sound. Distorted electric bass with Resonator simulation of
speaker cabinet tone.
 10 - Minimoog Sub-Bass
Synth bass with sub-octave undertone. Sub-bass energy is popular in dance music or
genres such as drum and bass and dubstep. Based on the Minimoog, a monophonic
analog synthesizer, invented by Bill Hemsath and Robert Moog. It was released in 1970
by R.A. Moog Inc. (Moog Music after 1972), and production was stopped in 1981. It was
re-designed by Robert Moog in 2002 and released as Minimoog Voyager.
 11 - Moog Prodigy Bass
A bass sound based on 'Prodigy', an analog subtractive synthesizer produced by Moog
Music from 1979 to 1984.
 12 - Moog System 55 Modular Synth
Bright, resonant synth bass with accentuated filter dynamic range inspired in the 'System
55', a monophonic analog modular synthesizer developed by the American electronic
instrument pioneer Dr. Robert Moog. Many different models were manufactured by R.A.
Moog Co. (Moog Music after 1972) from 1965–80.
 13 - Moog Taurus Pedal Preset
Default preset based on Moog Taurus, a foot-operated analog synthesizer designed and
manufactured by Moog Music, originally conceived as a part of the Constellation series of
synthesizers. Taurus was intended to be played by foot while the player's hands played
one or more keyboards.
 14 - Moog Taurus Bass Pedal Preset
Bass preset emulation from Moog Taurus, a foot-operated analog synthesizer designed
and manufactured by Moog Music.
 15 - Roland JX-3P Juicy Funk
Suitable for funky solos, replica from the Roland JX-3P, a synthesizer produced by Roland
Corporation of Japan in 1983. The 3P in its name refers to Programmable Preset
Polyphonic. It is notable as one of the company's first products (along with the Jupiter-6)
to incorporate a MIDI interface.
 16 - Roland JX-8P Synth Bass
A classic synth bass emulation from Roland JX-8P, a 61-key, velocity and aftertouch

6. sensitive, six-note polyphonic, fully analog synthesizer released by Roland in 1984.
 17 - Roland Juno-106 Fat Bass
A fat bass from the Roland Juno-106, an analogue polyphonic synth released by Roland
Corporation.
 18 - Clavia Nord Lead Acid Bass
Bass sound for acid jazz recreated from the Nord Lead, a series of virtual analog
subtractive synthesizers, manufactured by Clavia.
 19 - Oberheim OB-Xa Buzz Bass

Bright, resonant synth bass with accentuated filter dynamic range, simulation of ‘Kawai
K3 Digital Wave Memory Synthesizer’ released in 1986, a hybrid synthesizer based on
additive synthesis mixed with digital wavetable - true analog VCA and VCF circuits.
 23 - Upright Bass (Acoustic Double Bass)
Emulation of the double bass, a standard member of the orchestra's string section, as
well as the concert band, and is featured in concertos, solo and chamber music in
Western classical music. The bass is used in a range of other genres, such as jazz,
1950s-style blues and rock and roll, rockabilly/psychobilly, traditional country music,
bluegrass, tango and many types of folk music.
