Bass Lab
The foundation that dances with the kick.
The Bass Lab writes basslines that fit the progression and the genre: rolling sixteenths for techno, offbeat bass for trance and house, acid sequences with accent and slide, long 808 notes with glide, sustained reese tones for drum & bass, disco octaves and walking grooves. A dedicated lane shows accents and slides, and a preview synth with resonant filter and portamento lets you hear the result instantly.
