The Artist

The Omnific played the samples.

Matt Fackrell & Toby Peterson, The Omnific

Featuring a distinct and unparalleled sonic identity enhanced by precise performance intricacies, OmniBass effortlessly accommodates an abundance of techniques and genres, always ready to play.

Matt Fackrell & Toby Peterson The Omnific

We sampled The Omnific's Ernie Ball Music Man Bongo in Australia, capturing its dual-humbucker sound and the band's playing techniques.

Features

Fingerstyle, slap, and double-thumb.

Switch articulations with keyswitches and set fretboard positions for your bass line.

オムニバス interface

Tone Selector

Switch between tones matched by ear to the artist's rig.

Fretboard

We sampled every fret on every string. The interface shows where the engine plays each MIDI note.

Articulation

Use keyswitches to change articulation. The display shows the active articulation.

Alternate Picking

Tempo-synced alternate picking cycles through different recorded attacks to add variation to repeated notes.

DOOM

DOOM Mode limits playback to a smaller set of high-impact samples for a more consistent attack.

Humanize

Adds adjustable variation between notes so repeated parts sound less mechanical.

Position

Choose the fretboard position for each note, or let the engine choose automatically.

Mixer

Use Drive, Tone, Compression, and Girth to fit the bass into your mix.

Settings

Set the keyswitches, bass tuning, and pitch-bend range.

The Omnific's rhythm and lead tones.

Choose DI, Clean, Grit, or Distortion for the rhythm part, or use the separate clean Lead tone for bass melodies.

Modern prog spank in the upper mids.

More

Adds upper-mid saturation to the Clean tone.

Distortion

An extra gain stage above Grit.

More

Engine

Real-time slides between your MIDI notes.

Choose the start note, end note, and slide speed. truSlides generates the transition in real time.

truBass Engine

Velocity layers, round robins, and string-aware playback change how each note responds.

truSlides

Slide between any two notes at any speed. truSlides generates each transition in real time instead of playing a fixed recording.

Intelligent picking

Tempo-synced alternate picking rotates through recorded samples so fast passages do not repeat the same attack.

Free Kontakt Player

Runs in the free Kontakt Player. You do not need to buy Kontakt.

Frequently asked questions

What happens after I purchase?

This is a digital product. After checkout, we email your serial number, usually immediately. Redeem it in a free Native Access account to download and install the instrument.

Do I need to buy Kontakt?

No. OmniBass runs in the free Kontakt Player. You do not need to buy Kontakt.

How do I install this?

You can find our step-by-step installation guide here.

How many computers can I use this on?

One user, two machines. You may install on two devices (e.g. one laptop, one workstation), provided only one is in regular use. Simultaneous use on more than one device is not permitted.

How do I program slides?

Check out our in-depth guide for a full walkthrough.

Do I need iLok?

No. Licensing is handled through Native Access, which is completely free.

Is there a trial version?

Unfortunately, we're unable to offer a trial version at this time.

Can I use this as an amp on my own bass tracks?

No. This is a virtual instrument designed for use with MIDI. The built-in tones are specific to the sampled instrument and cannot be used to process your own audio.

How do I get help?

Contact our support team. Native Instruments develops Kontakt Player, so we cannot troubleshoot Kontakt itself.

Go-to instrument for writing demos and mixing

This thing is so realistic when programmed carefully, but even on default settings can help a demo or even a mix sound cleaner and more crisp in the low end. Love it.

Great Sound, Almost Real

OmniBass sounds really good and covers a ton of tones, so it works great whether you’re doing rock, metal, or more mellow stuff. The presets are solid and you can get mix-ready bass pretty fast, which is awesome. The only downside is that, like most virtual basses, it still doesn’t totally feel like a real player every time.

Spectacular as both a Bass VST or Video Game sound design tool

I love The Omnific. And this Bass VST captures their unique sound flawlessly. I've already used it for a potential game soundtrack
