Smooth operator
SLAP will energize any production with electric bass lines, but it’s particularly great on Pop, Funk, Jazz and Rock tracks. Especially highly rhythmical patterns and uptempo styles are its forte.
Technically brilliant
The advanced recording and phrase techniques used in SLAP will make your heart jump with joy. It’s based on a Stingray bass with active pick-up system which provides the spirited yet balanced character. The playing styles and patterns are convincingly realistic with the sophistication of a highly seasoned professional bass player. All the while you can control this goodness with just a few MIDI notes and clicks.
Hear that bass
Programming realistic bass can be a chore. With SLAP it’s fast and easy, so you can focus on your music!
