MODO BASS 2

Currently on sale for $99.99. Very tempting. Is it worth it if I already have all the Scarbee basses in Komplete?

Download the free CS version and decide for yourself. You get the ‘60s P-Bass, which is an alright model.

Personally, I think it’s worth it because you’re in control of MODO BASS. You’re never really in control with samples.

I record real bass in the end, but I use MODO BASS for mockups. I couldn’t go back to samples for that at this point. With MODO BASS I am able to create exactly the performance I want. MY performance. Samples always felt like a compromise.

I think it's one of my favourite models ;)

Modo bass offers a big
choice of different basses
so it is
more versatile
than Scarbee
and for more
different genres
good plugin imo

Unlike the NI Scarbee basses and the other flagship IKM sampled instruments, IKM MODO bass is modeled, so there are no sample libraries to load. Pick a bass model from the MODO collection, select playing style, strings, electronics, amp settings or direct out, and go!

I own the drums and the basses and can vouch for the realism, just playing the waiting game. It's not 100% but it's 95% of the way. That brings us to another question - will the guitars be as good as the basses?

I have Modo 1 and 2 and Scarbee from the NI collection. IMO Modo uses more system resources but sounds better, especially Modo 2. Its worth it if you are have no planes to get TS.

Thanks for all the responses. I demo’d it last night and it’s really incredible what you can do, the level of detail etc. Decided I’m gonna get it although it’s actually €120 instead of the €99.99.

is that because of tax?

Thanks but sadly it didn't work for my country (Netherlands). Luckily I got 5 jam points when I got the demo so I got it for €114.94 in the end.

And yet on my system the plugin takes as long to load as sampled instruments.
Even if the piano player can't play, keep the party going.

Weird it’s loading almost instantly for me and my PC is 5 years old.

MODO Bass 2 loads in 3 seconds here. Starting either as standalone, or as a plugin inserted in Reaper. Switching between bass models or other options is instantaneous.

And I'm running a modest desktop PC with a 4-year old Intel i5, all music software, plugins, and samples load from SSD.
