The Art of Performance

Excite Audio built Bloom Bass Groove with a focus on capturing the nuances of live bass performances with a combination of slaps, muted one-shots, and dynamic playing styles, delivering the expressive quality achievable only through real bass performances.

They recorded professional bass players using a variety of world-renowned bass guitars. Their performances were captured using diverse recording techniques, from DI signals routed directly into the mixing desk to advanced studio amping methods. Excite Audio’s team of sound designers took these recordings, combined them in the phrase player, and processed them using Bass Groove’s built-in effects and macros.

This resulted in over 250 presets across 7 categories:

• Clean (CLN) - Clean, smooth basslines with no distortion or heavy processing
• Experimental (EXP) - Abstract & unique sound design-focused presets
• High Energy (HI) - Upbeat, fast and busy basslines
• Low Energy (LO) - Delicate, slow and spacious basslines
• Melodic (MLD) - Bass notes that can be played melodically with the white keys
• Processed (PRO) - Basses that use heavy processing & effects
• Rhythmic (RHY) - Basses focused on rhythmic & percussive slap bass
