ManyBass Announced - Pre-Purchase at a Special Price now!!
(Pre-Purchase Price Limited to the first 150 licenses.)

ManyBass is a bass guitar sample based synthesizer which comes with a large collection of bass guitar samples intended to form the foundation of your day to day bass instrument needs. This extensive range of sounds has then been coupled with a highly efficient sample playback engine with a powerful FX rack.

ManyBass has been designed to provide you with a high quality sound, thanks to the included 2.4 gig of all-new 24 bit, electric bass guitar multi-samples that extensively cover various articulations and playing styles of the real instrument. The engine and onboard Amp Sims and FX were designed and tuned for bass type sounds, including the playback of real bass guitar instrument samples. The included Presets, along with the Sound and FX Wizards, will have you creating realistic sounding bass guitar tracks in no time at all. Along with the included electric bass guitar samplesets, ManyBass also comes with a selection of Waveforms that are capable of producing synth bass type sounds as well as other synthetic instrument sounds.

ManyBass will allow you to load up to 4 different articulations of an instrument and switch between these articulations using simple Keyswitching or Midi cc. The 2.4 gig of bass samples included were all recorded from the same bass guitar, and then mapped into 13 individual soundsets. This keyswitching feature allows the user to load up to 4 of the soundsets and easily switch between them using a Midi note, or a button on your keyboard controller. All this is accomplished on a single page, in an easy to use, graphical user interface.

ManyBass will be available in PC VSTi format and Mac AU and VSTi formats (Universal Binary).

ManyBass is available for the special introductory Pre-Purchase price of $99.95. This Pre-Purchase price is limited to the first 150 orders received or until the official ManyBass release date. (End June 2007) when the long-term price of $139.95 will be adopted. ManyBass is also available in a "Big Bass Bundle" which includes the ManyBass Instrument and our 3 add-on Bass Products: Ultimate Bass Kit, The ManyTone Upright Bass and the ManyTone Acoustic-Electric Bass. This Bundle is available for a Pre-Purchase price of $159.95. ($199.95 on product release day).
ManyBass is available in PC VSTi format and Mac AU and VSTi formats (Universal Binary). One license covers both formats.

These prices are for Downloadable versions. Pre-Purchasers will be the first to receive the download links once ManyBass is released. (end June 2007)

What about for owners of manystation, ubk AND manyguitar? Since I own pretty much all of your products, what kind of a discount do users like me get, if any?

Hi Mike
The Pre-Purchase special prices will work out to be much lower than any other offers we may eventually have for existing customers. Yes, we usually do offer crossgrades etc. but never better than our intro pricing. In a lot of those crossgrade cases we perhaps shared some sound content between the products. ManyBass is 100% new sounds and samples and contains no material from previous products. I'm trying to keep the pricing simple here and have 1 price for all at this time.

We may in the future send out offers in our customer newsletter, to existing customers, but again, if and when we do, it sure won't be cheaper than she can be purchased for now. Our intro specials have always been the best way to get the product cheaper than our crossgrades etc. Hope this all make sense?

Caleb - I'll get to your question in our forum asap.
Bassballjg - Thanks very much! Nice to hear this from you.
ToTc - Thanks, I'll get you a copy early M8.
dj ray - Sex ????? No thanks ... too busy with ManyBass.

As Caleb mentioned there is more chat in our company forum about ManyBass also.
That thread contains some more info from Greg and myself on page 7 and on.
For those interested that thread is here:

I've heard that there are a few of new cool skins coming...

manytone · Post by **manytone** » Thu May 31, 2007 6:16 pm

Hi
Yes, ManyBass is fully skinnable and we do have other skins in the works.
This is the default skin ...Nice and Bassy Vintage looking.
I will post some screenshots of other skins once we have some ready.

This thread has been a bit quiet, however the thread in our company forum mentioned above has been pretty active.

Greg posted a heavier demo mp3 there also....here it is:

Hi
Sorry no demo. ManyBass is not released yet but we are having a pre release sale.

It will be released at the end of June. I'm not sure if we will have a demo available by then.
It is pretty tough to demo 2.4 gig of sounds and making a smaller demo will not show the product properly.
The Mp3s are generally what we use for our demos.

We'll see what we come up with though.

So ....anybody else drooling over this one
