Sound Dust releases "Sponge Bass" for Kontakt with intro offer

Sound Dust has released Sponge Bass a Kontakt sample library fearing a Hofner President Bass + flatwound strings x bathroom sponge.

Here's what they say:

Based around the lovely warm, woofy, woolly thud of Carol Kaye (who played on all the good Beach Boys records), Motown bass legend James Jamerson and even Paul McCartney at a push, Sponge Bass is made from 1,296 round robin samples of a Hofner President bass loaded with flatwound strings and a sponge tucked under the bridge.

8 layers of round robin picked and fingered articulations are selected via velocity. The Kontakt engine has options for sculpting and re-amping, a system for realistically playing notes across all four strings, and a humanized arp/sequencer.

Details:

• One Kontakt .nki instrument.
• 8 randomised round robins per note.
• 567MB download (1.4GB uncompressed WAVs).
• Thumbed (velocity 0-119) and Picked (velocity 120-127) articulations.
• Full range of all 4 strings sampled.
• Humanized ARP/sequencer.
• Fade (note length) control pre-mapped to Modwheel (changable by right clicking).
• Mono/poly mode operates per string, so two notes can't/can be played on same string.
• Voice stack mode for up to eight notes at once.
• Transient, Tape, Amp and Cabinet modelling.
• 3 band EQ.
• A hint of Room reverb.
• Everything control is auto-matable in your DAW.
• Requires FULL Kontakt 5.8.1.

An introductory offer gets 20% off the £25/$33 price until 21st October 2018.
