ADDING BASS TO YOUR SONGS HAS NEVER BEEN EASIER.

The concept of our EZ Line products has been clear since day one: to give you, the songwriter, not only products that make your music sound great, but also the tools you need in order to create music. Creativity is the hallmark at the front and center of the EZ Line design. EZbass, of course, is no different.

With EZbass, there are multiple ways of adding bass to an already written song.

▪ Simply click the ‘Add Groove’ button to get a basic rhythm going.

▪ Use the drum or keyboard MIDI in your song to have EZbass automatically create a matching bassline.

▪ Tap in the rhythm you want your bass to play using the ’Tap2Find’ feature and then have EZbass list all matching variations.

▪ Use a previously recorded guitar, bass or rhythm performance and then have EZbass convert the audio to MIDI.

▪ Perform the bassline yourself using a MIDI controller.


BASS
THE BASSICS.

The ‘Bass’ view is the default screen that launches when you start the program. It gives you the visual representation of your selected instrument, a real-time display of the bass notes being played in your performance as well as access to the ‘Effects’ and ‘Tuning’ controls.

The ’Song Track’ is static regardless of which view you’re currently in but can of course be collapsed and hidden away completely. This is your MIDI hub for anything related to organizing the layout of your song or bass performance. From here, you can also access several fundamental features.

■ Pointer, Pencil and Split tools
Write, slice, dice and arrange.

■ Add Groove
Instantaneously add a groove of pumping eighth notes.

■ Add/Edit Chords
Add and/or change any highlighted chord(s).

■ Transition
Easily add seamless transitions and slides between chords.

■ Replace MIDI
Keep the chords in your selected block but replace the MIDI with what you select in the ’Grooves’ browser.

■ Edit Play Style
Change octave, velocity, damping, note length or the overall complexity of your rhythm using the ‘Amount’ knob.


GROOVES
YOUR PERSONAL BASS PLAYER.

At the heart of EZbass is the MIDI. It includes a wealth of different playing styles for all common genres and was designed to give you the broadest possible palette of options. Ultimately, you decide how the bass performs on your song. Of course, all included MIDI can be infinitely customized – without you having to leave the program.


GRID EDITOR
REFINE YOUR BASSLINE.

Simply double-click a MIDI block in the ‘Song Track’ to enter the ‘Grid Editor.’ From there, you can alter articulations, adjust timing, fine-tune velocities, manually write parts and much more.


DRUMS & KEYS
LIKE MAGIC.

Have a drum or keyboard MIDI file that you need a matching bassline for? Just drag and drop it in EZbass and it will automatically create a matching performance. This is extremely powerful for getting a good starting point, quick and easy.


AUDIO TRACKER
TURN ANYTHING INTO A BASS.

The ‘Audio Tracker’ was designed to mainly handle monophonic guitar or bass audio, but it also has a deep understanding for rhythmic material. This means that you can use an already recorded guitar, bass or percussive performance, import it to EZbass and have it seamlessly ‘translate’ it to MIDI. You can even record your own audio, right inside EZbass!


THE SOUNDS.

EZbass includes two fundamentally different instruments, both picked to complement one another and paint the broadest possible sonic scope. Each bass was sampled with the same attention to detail and quality that has made Toontrack spearhead the drum sampling industry for 20 years and counting.

TWO BASSES.
Two fundamentally different instruments.

RICH DETAIL.
Sampled with painstaking detail and articulation options.

LOW TUNING.
Both basses go as low as A0.


ARTICULATIONS.
PICK, THUMP, SLAP, POP!

EZbass delivers the most all-encompassing set of articulations you need in order to produce stunningly real performances for anything from subtle jazz to extreme metal. The main tools of the ‘Modern’ bass include fingers, pick and slap while the ‘Vintage’ bass includes fingers and pick.
