Tones

ShinzBass-tones-yin.png__PID:80d42c06-fa58-4989-96c3-f69e3654ceeb

Yin (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. This allows ultimate flexibility; mix the bass on your own terms.

ShinzBass-tones-rams-head.png__PID:2c06fa58-d989-46c3-b69e-3654ceebf012

Ram’s Head: A tone recreating Jason Suecof’s exact processing chain from Job For A Cowboy’s ‘Moon Healer’ album.
Think of this as a hot-rodded DI, expertly molded by a legendary producer to perfectly fit the gap between drums and guitars.

ShinzBass-tones-yang.png__PID:53eb80d4-2c06-4a58-9989-d6c3f69e3654

Yang: A classic ‘grit’ tone which can easily be pushed into distortion, based on Nick’s work with Havok. Ideal for heavier music.

The tuning range

The tuning range of ShinzBass is C0 up to A4. It’s been tuned perfectly across the entire note range, so it can act as a tuning reference whenever you’re recording guitars.

The DOOM button

Intentionally shrinks the round robin, giving you the most powerful, direct samples for reduced realism and greater consistency - for those times where variance is undesirable.

Humanize

Infuse your performance with natural variation using the Humanize control, adding subtle differences for a more organic feel.

The Position control is a convenient way to select where on the virtual fretboard you’d like the performance to take place.

For absolute control, our Force String articulation can select exactly which string each note is performed on, giving you the ability to tonally match your guitar riffs 1 to 1.

Use the Configuration menu to rebind keyswitches, set the tuning of the bass, and adjust the pitch bend range for ultimate customization to your personal workflow.

Native Instruments - Kontakt

As an official Native Instruments partner, ShinzBass runs in the industry standard free Kontakt Player, meaning you don’t have to worry about any additional hidden costs. Kontakt is the most widely used and widely compatible sampler in the industry, meaning there is a robust team of professionals available to make it work perfectly for you.

truBass Technology

Experience unparalleled realism with our industry-leading truBass engine, delivering the authentic feel and dynamic response of a real bass guitar.

Multi-Sampling

Every fret position across the entire instrument has been multi-sampled, so you can program the performance exactly as a real bassist would play it.

truSlides

Our truSlide algorithm can slide from any note on the virtual fretboard, to any other note, at whatever speed or velocity curve you desire, to perfectly match the slides of your real guitars.

Intelligent Alternate Picking

Our proprietary tempo-synced alternate picking algorithm has a robust round robin that never sounds like samples are repeating, no matter the speed of your music.

Packet fresh’ tone

ShinzBass was sampled with brand new steel strings, meaning that you always get that lovely ‘packet fresh’ tone, with no wear down. The average professional bass recording session often costs several times the price of ShinzBass in string packets alone.

Jack Gardiner

“For someone that can’t really play bass but wants realistic, modern sounding low end in their tracks without having to do much tweaking, this plugin is a game changer. The sheer variety of articulations within ShinzBass means I can live out my 80’s style wannabe fusion dreams all in the Midi Grid!”

“I originally treated writing bass parts as an afterthought and found it to be a chore - With ShinzBass, composing bass parts is now genuinely the most exciting instrument to write. Super intuitive and easy to use!”

“SubMission Audio are leading the charge with their virtual basses. I have used their bass libraries on everything from demos, all the way to official music releases. If you need consistent, world-class, completely accurate bass tones for your music, look no further.”

Soreption

“I have been using Submission Audio products since 2019 in my writing process and they have always delivered an absolutely devastating low end to my mixes. ShinzBass takes everything that is good about the previous plugins and tailors specifically to making technical death metal. It is exactly what I needed to finish writing tracks for the next Soreption album!”

Extremely versatile

This bass may be the most versatile one yet. It gels with rhythm tones seamlessly and it has some of the most articulations!

Incredibly Realistic!

So stoked about how this sounds. JFAC bass tones are unmatched and this is scarily accurate. It responds well to dynamics and velocities, and it sounds super beefy through the Neural DSP Parallax and Darkglass. With this being my first SubMission purchase, I'm definitely buying more.

Awesome !

I got Shinzbass because i needed a Bass plugin that could give me a round and huge low-end.
Got exactly what I expected, and even more. Submission Audio’s plugins are real game changers for every music producer.
