MOJO: Upright Bass

The definitive soulful low end instrument

Vir2 Instruments proudly presents MOJO: Upright Bass, a top-tier addition to the MOJO instrument family. After a year of dedicated development, Vir2 have created the most realistic and advanced virtual upright bass available today. Featuring performances by acclaimed jazz bassist Stefan “Pista” Bartus and a talented sampling team, this instrument is built around the unique sound of a 150-year-old double bass.

MOJO: Upright Bass offers an impressive dynamic range, with up to six velocity layers, eight round-robins, true legato, and a selection of expertly crafted presets and MIDI grooves to enhance your performances. Key features include speed-dependent articulation switching, the ability to choose specific bass strings, authentic vibrato sustains, simulated vibrato for enhanced control, adjustable string buzz, and a comprehensive FX Suite for full customization.

This upright bass was recorded with five microphone positions, plus a pre-mixed option for efficient computer use. Captured through the Studer A900 analog console and Lynx Aurora 16 A/D converters at 24bit/96kHz, the instrument includes eight articulations and features performable repetitions, percussive hits on various parts of the bass, and genuine played chords.

With over 35 GB of uncompressed sample content, MOJO: Upright Bass provides the authentic feel of human performance for genres like jazz, pop, rockabilly, or any style that demands a natural bass sound. This comprehensive library was designed to meet all your composition, programming, and recording needs, delivering incredibly realistic bass lines. With MOJO: Upright Bass, that vision is now fully realized.

Each mic can also be routed to its own output. The neck mic provides detailed string sound, the body close mic offers fuller low-end sound, and the body far mic adds room tone. Add room close or room far mics for enhancement.
