IK multimedias Modo Bass.

This thing sounds really friggin good. I know a lot of folks are not into bass VSTI but if you want one.. this really should be on your list.

To my knowledge, its the only synthesis (no samples) bass instrument that models electric bass. It does it extremely well. I used to use Prominy SR5 which i think is a pretty good library, but in mixes, Modo Bass is very easy to get sitting right and is very intuitive to program and shape sounds.

An example of it in a metal tune

Dismantled is the song using Modobass

How do you make it "play" like a bass though? Finding something that could emulate real bass would be a dream for me as I don't play bass very well and whenever I mic bass or DI it it comes out in strange tonal areas and is really difficult to work with. Im just really skeptical about midi being able to account for nuance, slides, realistic plucking sounds, and just sounding "human". Also programming a bass throughout a whole song sounds like a real pain to me, what's your method for using it? Do you sit there for hours clicking note after note?
