questions people ask.

What is a bassline generator plugin?

A plugin that writes the bass for you. BASS writes a bass sound and a bassline that fits your key every time you press BITE, so you can build a track around it or take the MIDI and use your own synth.

Can I use BASS as a MIDI bassline generator?

Yes. Drag the line out of BASS onto a MIDI track, or drag out the audio as a 24-bit file.

Does BASS work without STAB?

Yes. BASS is a whole bassline instrument on its own. If STAB is in the same session it follows STAB's key and chords.

Which DAWs does it work in?

It is a VST3 and AU plugin, and it also runs as a standalone app. It is tested in Ableton Live 12 on Mac and Windows, and users report Logic Pro and FL Studio.
