    The Artist

    Jacob played the samples.

    Jacob Umansky, Intervals

    We obsessed over UmanskyBass. Every string, every fret, multiple tunings, every articulation I actually use when I play. My engineer and I burned an extra studio day on the double-thumb / thumping side alone, just to get the dynamics sitting right.

    Hearing it back in people's tracks, and seeing it turn up in live rigs already, is a bit surreal. One of my favourite things I've worked on.

    We recorded Jacob playing his custom Dingwall Z3X. Your MIDI triggers recordings of his notes and articulations.

    Features

    Set the fret position and articulation.

    Choose fingerstyle, slap, or thumping articulations. Set where each note plays on the fretboard and add variation with Humanize.

    ウマンスキーバス 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.

    Jacob's clean, grit, and heavy tones.

    Start with the Z3X DI, choose Clean for its piano-like attack, or add gain with Grit and Heavy.

    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.

    No. UmanskyBass 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?

    Is there a trial version?

    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.

    What producers say.

    Aaron Marshall

    Jacob is tenacious and precise in his ability to hold down a strong foundation for the music I make. That was liberating for me on Circadian, even without a meticulously sampled robot version of him in plugin form — I suppose he is now an immortal asset, at your disposal, living inside your computer.

    Sheldon Dingwall

    Jacob Umansky has been a top Dingwall artist for several years. His tone is textbook perfect, and his technique and composition skills are off the charts. Jacob and the team at SubMission Audio truly captured his sound and the essence of the Z3X flawlessly with this plug-in.

    Amazing Results!

    Probably the best sounding Bass tone I've gotten for prog/ metal mixes!

    Great bass for demos

    Have found this incredible for programming bass for my tracks. At the moment the tones inside aren't 100% for what I need but it doesn't matter when programming, and if I wasn't pairing with Parallax I'm sure I could tweak it get what I want.

    Pretty good

    I think it’s pretty good for basic based stuff. I wish there was a play along button or you could play along with the song if you just dropped it in.

    The Best Tone for Modern Music

    I’ve been using UmanskyBass for a few months now, and it has completely changed my workflow. This is the gold standard for adding low end to your mixes !
