iBassist

Description

Transform your iPad into a dynamic bass player with iBassist, your go-to music companion for jamming, composing, and groove creation. Now with AUv3 !

Interact seamlessly with lumbeat drum apps, taking your jam sessions to a higher echelon. With its MIDI progression chords feature, you can layer any synth or piano in the background, instantly setting up a full-band ambiance.

iBassist's bass lines are degree-based, allowing the application of any chord progression to various bass grooves. It's a prized tool for injecting diverse bass rhythms into your musical pieces. The jam tool provides musical variations, igniting fresh ideas along your creative journey.

Now, iBassist is enhanced with the ability to send varied chord figures, octaves, lengths, notes, and figures across two different MIDI channels. This feature facilitates the crafting of customized atmospheres with iOS synths/piano in the backdrop.

Utilize the Chord Progression editor for swift, intuitive creation or modification of your progressions through Key Notes, harmony by steps, midi detection, or randomization.

The app comes loaded with 10 Round Robin sampled natural bass sounds, offering a spectrum from Modern Finger Bass to the warm resonance of Double Bass.

Live Pads function empowers you with live session playing through 8 assignable pads for Line-Progression-Jam, switchable via MIDI.

Song Mode’s “Make Drums” option automates drum structure creation for your entire song, while the Export Midi function lets you generate MIDI Files with the Bass Line / Progression - Jam combination or whole song structures.

Indulge in the built-in effects like Compressor, Delay, Chorus, Reverb, and a Parametric EQ to refine your sound.

Needs to be updated. pretty useless as it is.

I suppose if you want to use it standalone it’s ok but not any use in a DAW as it doesn’t sync with anything. MIDI in and out doesn’t work.

Good app and unique

Please could we have a fretless bass please. Can’t find any slide articulation

Does not sync

The app will play happily on its own in AUM, but will not sync with any of Soft, Funk or MidEast Drummer- the ‘make drums’ command does nothing, and even matching the tempos and the AUM transport cannot sync it. I’ve even tried deleting and reinstalling, but no joy. Was considering Jazz Drummer too, but if its USP is that it syncs with iBassist then I’ll give it a miss. Already down one lot of £18 for something that does not work as advertised- but at least deleting it again will get me the 1.1gB back. I would, of course, be happy for the developer to prove me wrong...

A practising dream

I bought Soft Drummer a while ago to practice guitar against it. This raises the whole idea to another level. Syncing iBassist with Soft Drummer is just the next level in practice. Solid grooves with improvisation, fantastic, thank you!

This I thought was well designed but the user / instructions are basically none existent. I have a midi piano with Irig midi2 working on an iPad Pro ,with the bassist app,and I cannot get the base to follow the chords or even the lower note of the chord,when using midi out of the piano to midi in of the Irig2 connected to the lightening connector. I have set the midi in bassist to the appropriate detection channel,but still does not work. I have waisted £17.99.Would have been better if I had given the money to a charity Trafford Reeder

Heard it on The BBC

Render Loop to Audio File. At the price one would assume the rights had been purchased to render to REX file. Asking for it to be included directly into Cubasis / Auria is obviously a concern for underlying ownership of sound. I wish Apple would get on top of these issues , these are not the apps that are ten per penny games at £17 each they aught offer shares in the company.

Love this app

Just what I’ve been searching for for ages, fantastic.. thanks
