Riffendium Bass Vol. 1

Introducing Riffendium Bass

Funky/Soul Bass Guitar for Kontakt 5.8

RIFFENDIUM SERIES is a themed sample library collection for modern producers and composers.

It includes loops of real, modeled, synthesized and designed instruments, resulting in an original palette of inspiring sounds for creators of electronic and organic music.

Our brand new Riffendium Bass Series's first release is a collection of electric bass guitar loops which spans from smokey vintage soul to fast slap bass performances perfect for Funky/Soul/Disco/Dance music but also Electronic and Modern compositions.

2 Instruments

RIFFENDIUM BASS includes 2 instruments: RIFFENDIUM BASS and RIFFENDIUM BASS DI, bundled in a single package. RIFFENDIUM BASS's samples pool is made of recordings taken from the amplifier's output and offers ready made bass guitar sounds, for a fast workflow.

RIFFENDIUM BASS DI offers samples taken from the bass guitar output signal, allowing you to use your favourite Amp Simulator and bass guitar chain, to fit your music 100%.

Articulations Sequencer

Generate unique custom loops by using RIFFENDIUM BASS's articulations sequencer. Since the articulations come from a real performance, the result will always sound like a real guitarist playing a new guitar part.

40 Guitar Performances

Start from one of the 40 original recordings, then edit, re-arrange the slices, randomise, save new bass guitar parts. This release includes bass guitar loops that will fit perfectly in your funky music compositions as well as many other styles of music, from rock to film scoring.

From Bass to Infinity!

RIFFENDIUM BASS's engine makes it incredibly easy to create a bass guitar sound that fits your song, but it also allows you to build out-wordly sounds that you won't believe they originated from a guitar performance.

No more stale one-key loops. These loops are alive!

Stale loops will hardly fit your music chords and will result as a robotic repetition of the same thing over and over. RIFFENDIUM BASS's loops will follow your chords as they were recorded in most major and minor shapes (and more than just that). RIFFENDIUM BASS's loops use Round Robins, therefore at every cycle the loop will sound slightly different, like a real Bass guitar performance.

Pedals, Speakers and Effects

RIFFENDIUM BASS provides the straight Amp Output signal and different Cabinets simulations for more tweak-ability. You can also bypass RIFFENDIUM BASS speaker simulations and use your favourite Cabinet impulse responses. Also, 4 distortion, 4 modulation effects plus master EQ and COmpressor/Transient designer, delay and reverb are available for more sound tweaking.

Step Effects

We would not be Audiofier if we did not add some craziness to our instruments. A Step Volume and Step Filter fx will add movement and excitement to your guitar lines.

Stutter Repeater

A different approach to stuttering with assignable or random repetitions for each articulation slice, with echo effect or pitch detuning. Fun from another world.

Detailed Articulations

RIFFENDIUM BASS offers loops recorded with several techniques: Fingers, Palm Muting, Slap and also several sound options like loops recorded through an Envelope Filter and a Synth Bass Effect Pedal.

Browser

You can filter the original loop performances by category: clean, crunch or distorted tones; straight, syncopated or riffy parts; including chords, power chords or single notes. Easy.

Convolver

A staple in our instruments, with taylor-made impulses that will enhance and/or mutate the sound turning into something totally different. Is this still a guitar?

Snapshots presets
