DirectBass 2.0 for Kontakt

DirectBass 2.0 is a direct-recorded bass sample library for NI Kontakt FULL version only.
No Kontakt Player support.


DirectBass 2.0 is based on a Yamaha TRB 5-string active bass,
a modern instrument known for its clean, focused and extended low-end.
This type of bass does not sound vintage or dirty by nature.
It sounds tight, controlled and hi-fi, with a solid low B string, clear mids and a precise attack.

That makes it perfect for:

Funk and modern groove

RnB

Pop and contemporary productions

Electronic and hybrid tracks

Any mix where the bass must be present, defined and stable


Recorded direct and completely dry,
DirectBass 2.0 is designed to work with amp simulators and modern processing chains, giving you full control over the final tone.

It is a solid, playable bass that does its job and stays out of the way.


Four Bass Characters, One Instrument


DirectBass 2.0 includes four distinct bass articulations, captured from the same instrument:

Bridge pickup

Bridge + Neck pickup

Neck pickup

Picked bass

Each one has its own tone and feel, so you can move from tight funk to deeper grooves without changing instrument.


DirectBass 2.0 is extremely playable and easy to use.
Load it, play it, record it. No menus, no distractions.

It reacts naturally to velocity and phrasing, just like a real bass player would.


MIDI Groove Library Included
Included is a library of 80 professional MIDI bass riffs.
Just listen to the audio previews, choose a groove, and drag the MIDI into your DAW.

Perfect when you want to sketch ideas fast or build a solid foundation for a track.
