MODO BASS 2

Yes Modo Bass can be a bit confusing. The Bass guitar is a transposing instrument, and this means the key switches are I think 2 octaves above where you expect them on your piano roll. Transposing is probably not much of an issue for a trained bass player but very confusing for us mere mortals.

A very realistic emulation of numerous bass guitars, but is plagued with so many issues rendering it useless.

Sometimes it ignores the notes played in piano roll. E F F# G and G# played as E; A#, B, C and C# played as A. And so on. It plays whatever, but not the notes you write in piano roll.

Other times it plays ringing B2 notes when pressing everything above C5 (C3 in Plugin's internal keyboard).

Some key switches and CCs just don't work. Hammer-ons and slides are impossible to make work.

The saddest part is that you can find the posts about these very same issues I described on various forums dated at 5 years ago.

And these issues appear in Both VST2 and VST3 versions. I highly discourage anyone thinking about purchasing this plugin from making a purchase. It's not worth $300.

Pleasantly surprised, so easy to find the right sound to fit any style of music, even if you tune low (you can switch how many strings, and even how these basses are played (finger, pick, slap, etc). With the right EQ i've made the Rickenbass PUNCH on my heavier metal chunkages.
