Bornemark Broomstick Bass VST Virtual Bassist

Broomstick Bass is a "self-playing musical instrument", to be used as a session partner, composition assistant or a deluxe bass sound archive.

Broomstick Bass is fully loaded with easy-to-use bass riffs and grooves. The user just has to play some chords and listen to Broomstick Bass following the harmonies and intentions. There are loads of patterns for inspiration and composition and a manual mode for playing your own bass lines.

Broomstick Bass is a unique tool specially created by bass players for fellow musicians. It contains over 20 multisampled classic and special bass instruments, including keyboard and pedal basses - not to mention an authentic "broomstick" bass! All bass guitars have been recorded with a variety of common performance practices, including slides, staccato, hammer-ons etc - all easily accessible from the MIDI control octave.

More than just a high-quality sound resource, Broomstick Bass is also fully loaded with tons of self-playing basslines - easy-to-use bass riffs and grooves in a variety of styles, each containing 8 musical variations that are easily selectable in real time, via mouse or MIDI keyboard.

In addition, a cool selection of effects ensures that your basslines cut through any mix, while also providing opportunity for some over the top creativity! (These are also available as a separate plug-in within a host application for use on other tracks.)

With real-time MIDI chord recognition, the possibility to edit basslines, and a number of performance-enhancing features, Broomstick Bass automatically follows song harmonies, and provides extra opportunities for adding subtle nuances and "feel" to your music. Of course, there's also a manual mode for those times when you simply want to play your own basslines!

With support for VST and AU, Broomstick Bass provides cross-platform flexibility to suit a variety of working situations.
