The Basstard: Bass Sampled to Destruction 🎸💥

Unleash the chaos with The Basstard — a groundbreaking library that pushes the boundaries of orchestral bass into dark, gritty, and percussive realms. This unique instrument is designed to capture the gradual destruction of a full-scale orchestral bass, offering a fusion of tonal, percussive, FX, and groove sounds, all recorded with unconventional tools and techniques. 🔨🎶

What’s Inside The Basstard?

• Tonal Sounds: Experience traditional articulations like plucked, staccato, and rubber mallet strikes on strings, along with bizarre tools like forks and drumsticks used to create rich, unique tonal samples.
• Percussive Power: Over 6-10 round robin articulations where the bass is treated like a drum kit, offering heavy, impactful hits.
• Gruesome FX: Brace yourself for effects such as power drills, baseball bat bowing, and even reassembling the bass by separating and reattaching its parts in horrific ways. 💣🔧
• Grooves That Move: Over 300 live-groove elements, recorded at 80-140 BPM, to add rhythmic motion to your compositions. These grooves are perfectly synced to your DAW tempo, making them ideal for gritty, cinematic scores or alternative genres.
