The bass behind
Plini.
Now in your session.
Best on headphones or monitors
A ridiculous amount of time went into capturing the sound of every fret of every single string in different tunings, multiple times, played by different picking fingers. After all that, even just the programming logic of GroveBass is insane. I cannot wait for people to check it out, and I look forward to seeing what they can do with it.
Tone Selector
Switch between DI, Clean, OD, Distortion and Lead tones. Each fine-tuned by ear to represent Simon's sound.
Fretboard
Every fret across all five strings individually sampled. The interactive fretboard shows where your programmed notes are being played.
Articulation
12 articulations switchable via keyswitches — Finger Picking, Ghost Notes, Slap, Natural Harmonics, Hammer-On/Pull-Off, Tapping, truSlides, and various mutes.
Alternate Picking
Tempo-synced picking algorithm with a robust round robin. No repeated samples, no matter the speed.
DOOM
Collapses the round robin for maximum power and consistency. Less variation, more impact.
Humanize
Injects natural variation into playback for adjustable realism.
Position
Select where on the virtual fretboard each note is performed. Override the automatic position for total control.
Mixer
Drive, Tone, Compression and Girth controls let you perfectly match the bass to your music.
Settings
Rebind keyswitches, set the tuning of the bass, and adjust the pitch-bend range for total customization.
DI
The raw instrument. Shape it your way.
DI
The raw sound of the instrument, captured directly via high-end, studio-grade recording hardware. Process as you would any other bass — using your favourite plugins, pedals or amps. Ultimate flexibility; mix the bass on your own terms.
Clean
The sound you associate with Plini's records.
Clean
Pristinely faithful to the timbre of the Herr Schwarz — a beautifully airy representation of the bass, ideal for clean sections and dynamic arrangements.
OD
Midrange punch that sits right in the mix.
OD
Opens up the punch in the midrange — great for pairing with distorted guitars, or kicking the tone up a level into choruses. The Herr Schwarz's rounded midrange never steps over your mix.
Distortion
Like OD, but extra. For hard rock and heavy metal.
Distortion
More midrange texture and gain for times when your desired flavour is decidedly heavier — hard rock, metal, anywhere a thicker bass is needed to stand alongside the guitars.
Lead
A unique tone crafted for lead playing.
Lead
An exceptionally unique tone crafted purposefully for lead passages. For when the bass needs to step forward and carry the melody.
truBass
The engine behind every SubMission Audio virtual instrument.
truBass is our proprietary sampling and scripting engine built specifically for bass instruments. It's why our basses respond like real instruments instead of static sample libraries — every note is shaped by the context around it.
truSlides
Slide from any note to any other note on the virtual fretboard, at any speed. No pre-baked transitions — every slide is generated in real time.
Multi-sampled Fretboard
Every fret position across the entire instrument has been individually sampled. Notes are performed where a real bassist would play them.
Intelligent Picking
Tempo-synced alternate picking with deep round robin. No repeated samples, no matter how fast you write.
Humanize
Subtle natural variation in timing, dynamics, and tone colour. Dial it up for organic feel, or turn it off for machine-tight precision.
DOOM Mode
Collapses the round robin to the most powerful samples. Less variation, more impact — for when every hit needs to land identically.
Position & Force String
Choose where on the fretboard each note is played, and lock notes to specific strings for total tonal control.
Industry Voices
From the people making the records.
I've spent hours over the years listening to the unique sound of Simon's bass and hands in my ears, both on tour and in the studio. Having that sound flawlessly replicated in a plugin, and hearing it come out of my speakers, playing whatever I tell it to via MIDI, is absolutely surreal. SubMission Audio and Simon knocked it out of the park with GroveBass.
Simon Grove is a force of nature on bass, both in style and tone. The ability to have his sound and talent readily accessible and on demand is nothing short of a gift. So if you are a fan of good low end and you want to improve your mixes, GroveBass is a worthy addition to the collection.
