IK really nailed it. MODO BASS is a fantastic instrument for anyone chasing realism, tightness, power, and punch at the bottom end of their mixes. It’s a steal at the offered price."

AskAudio has taken an in-depth look at MODO BASS and was blown away by its realism, power and ease of use. Here are some the key comments from reviewer, Matt Vanacoro:

"IK Multimedia’s MODO BASS is the very first physically modeled bass, and absolutely nails it right out of the box."

"After installing MODO BASS (which clocked in at a couple of hundred megabytes), I was so impressed by its sound and usability that I deleted 45 gigabytes of sampled bass instruments."

"Utilizing keyswitches to jump between articulation parameters made it a breeze to make MODO BASS sound incredibly realistic."

"Amp modeling is where many sample libraries ‘hit the hurdle’ and stumble a bit, but MODO BASS vaults over that issue with precision."

"My impression of MODO BASS was formed within minutes. I really couldn’t believe what I was hearing."

Matt's final verdict was:

IK really nailed it. MODO BASS is a fantastic instrument for anyone chasing realism, tightness, power, and punch at the bottom end of their mixes. It’s a steal at the offered price."
