Waves has announced Bass Slapper, the most elaborate slap bass virtual instrument and sample library ever created, delivering the full expressiveness of a seasoned bass player.
Bass Slapper aims to offer convincing slap bass sounds, from funk and soul to rock, hip hop, metal and beyond.
Waves Bass Slapper lets you recreate on your keyboard the realistic nuances of a dexterous bass player, with complete control over every note and articulation, including thumbing, popping, hammer-ons, pull-offs, open strings, legato sounds and dead notes.
Bass Slapper includes the world’s most extensive sample library of special bass guitar sounds, with slides, left- and right-hand mutes and harmonic strums. The instrument’s intuitive position and articulation controls let you determine precisely where to play on the fretboard, when to switch strings, which strings to thumb or pop, and more.
