STUDIO: BASS

The Studio Bass instrument in Logic Pro delivers the rich tone, dynamic response, and feel of real electric and acoustic bass performances. It’s designed to fit seamlessly into any genre — from pop and rock to funk, R&B, and film scoring — providing a solid low-end foundation with the flexibility of detailed control. Each instrument is deeply sampled, capturing the nuances of fingerstyle, pick, and slap techniques for authentic realism.

Key Features:

• Instrument Selection: Choose from multiple bass types, including Fingered Electric, Picked Electric, Fretless, and Acoustic Bass, each with distinct tonal character and performance feel.

• Articulations: Access expressive playing techniques such as Sustain, Staccato, Slides, Harmonics, and Dead Notes using key switches or Logic’s Articulation Set system.

• Smart Controls: Quickly shape your tone with parameters like Tone, Compression, Drive, and Reverb, fine-tuning warmth, grit, and clarity for any style.

• Performance Controls: Adjust Dynamics, Expression, Attack, and Release to make MIDI parts feel more human and responsive.

• Amp & Cabinet Simulation: Built-in amp and cabinet models let you add analog warmth, punch, and realism without needing external plugins.
