Pfundstein Audio Plugin releases "Virtual BassLine Buster Std8 plus" 8-String Bass Instrument Plug-in

Pfundstein Audio Plugins has unveiled an enhanced version of their custom 8-string bass plugin, building on their previous success in capturing the unique essence of this instrument category.

For those unacquainted with the 8-string bass with octave strings, imagine a setup akin to a 12-string guitar. This instrument delivers a distinctive and dynamic sound profile, blending deep resonant lows with crisp high octaves. The result is a harmonically rich, full-bodied tone that adds depth and complexity to any musical composition.

BassLine, a boutique bass manufacturer based in Germany, crafted the original instrument, which was then sampled by Pfundstein Audio Plugins and transformed into VST3 and Audio Unit plugins for macOS and Windows.

Here is what the plugin developer says about the new product:

We are in love with the massive sound of octaved 8-string basses. That's why we were the first to sample such a unique instrument for MIDI. And now we've done it again with an all-new custom 8-string instrument.

Building upon the success of our first virtual 8-string bass, this new plug-in boasts enhanced sampling, more velocity layers, better overall quality, and a refined GUI. The new "plus" version of the original custom bass represents a significant upgrade, featuring a stereo output to capture both pickup signals separately.

Key Features:

• Unique 8-string octaved bass sound.
• Velocity-sensitive for nuanced expression.
• Intuitive interface suitable for beginners.
• Humanization function for naturalistic playing.
• Various playing styles and articulations: finger style, pick style, slapping, tapping, and more.
• Customizable attack and release behavior.
• Multiple pickup options for tonal versatility.
• High resolution samples.
• Clean DI and processed amped outputs for mixing flexibility.
• For more features, please check the product listing.

The new virtual bass is available at KVR Audio for a regular price of 49.99 USD. To celebrate the new product, customers benefit from a 20% discount until 23th October, 2023.
