Upbeat, lively, colorful

SLAP is the wild child among our bassists. A modern, sophisticated and off the wall virtuoso. Forget about cheesy slap sounds à la Seinfeld! Driving your song with character and soul, this is the ever energetic creative live wire. In parallel there’s all the reliable professionalism you expect: SLAP shows up on time and lays down incredibly realistic basslines. Best of both worlds! With SLAP you will compose impressive bass performances easily.

Smooth operator

SLAP will energize any production with electric bass lines, but it’s particularly great on Pop, Funk, Jazz and Rock tracks. Especially highly rhythmical patterns and uptempo styles are its forte.

Technically brilliant

The advanced recording and phrase techniques used in SLAP will make your heart jump with joy. It’s based on a Stingray bass with active pick-up system which provides the spirited yet balanced character. The playing styles and patterns are convincingly realistic with the sophistication of a highly seasoned professional bass player. All the while you can control this goodness with just a few MIDI notes and clicks.

Hear that bass

Programming realistic bass can be a chore. With SLAP it’s fast and easy, so you can focus on your music!

Slap and Finger

Effortlessly combine both playing styles for impressive results and absolute intuitive reaction of the bass to any user input.

Instrument Mode

If you prefer to record your own phrases (or even bass solos!) Instrument Mode gives you complete access to all articulations. This means you can use your MIDI controller to play exactly as you want with maximum creative expression (including adding dead notes, full stops and even slides!)

PreSonus Chord and Key Track

Studio One users running on version 4.6.2 or later get the exclusive PreSonus chord and key track feature! Descriptions of styles and phrases are displayed on the piano roll to help you find the right styles and phrases faster and easier for your track. The new chord track feature in Studio One automatically follows the chords and automatically changes the MIDI notes for you.
