This fingerstyle library is powered by our next generation truBass technology, and loaded with all the articulations you need to recreate immensely intricate bass lines - even including thumping.

An astoundingly forward-looking bass design, the Z3X, even without processing, sounds like a finished bass tone. Aided by Jacob’s sublime expert touch, this is one of our easiest virtual basses to work with.

For those times you squarely want the bass to sit alongside the guitars and make its presence known, UmanskyBass is the ideal solution.

TONES
Our design ethos behind UmanskyBass is to channel Jacob’s distinctive sound as authentically as possible. As a result, we include 4 tones, heavily based on his studio tones with Intervals:

The raw sound of the instrument, captured directly via high end, studio-grade recording hardware. Process as you would any other bass - using your favourite plugins, pedals or amps. This allows ultimate flexibility; mix the bass on your own terms.

This is ‘the’ Jacob Umansky tone you know and love. Whether you’ve heard one of his many playthroughs on Instagram, or are familiar with his work on assorted albums as either a member or session bassist, the CLN sound will get you that unmistakable Z3X piano-esque tone.

You won’t believe that depth and clarity like this can coexist in a singular tone.

Like CLN, but extra. We maintain the same lovely, distinctive spectral balance which defines Jacob’s sound, and increase the gain range so that you can really make the bass spank.

Based on Jacob’s studio tones, this fuzzy mid-heavy sound replicates one of the auxiliary tones Jacob uses to create interesting textures in certain parts of his music.

In our usual style, all three tones are premixed for your convenience - so you can get straight to the art of being creative.

The Drive, Tone, Compression and Girth controls further allow you to perfectly match the bass to your music.

THE TUNING RANGE
UmanskyBass is C0 up to D4. It’s been tuned perfectly across the entire note range, so it can act as a tuning reference whenever you’re recording guitars.

THE DOOM BUTTON
Intentionally shrinks the round robin, giving you the most powerful, direct samples for reduced realism and greater consistency - for those times where variance is undesirable.

HUMANIZE
The Humanization control injects natural variance into the playback, for adjustable realism.

The Position control is a convenient way to select where on the virtual fretboard you’d like the performance to take place.

For absolute control, our Force String articulation can select exactly which string each note is performed on, giving you the ability to tonally match your guitar riffs 1 to 1.

Use the Configuration menu to rebind keyswitches, set the tuning of the bass, and adjust the pitch bend range for ultimate customization to your personal workflow.

NATIVE INSTRUMENTS - KONTAKT
As an official Native Instruments partner, UmanskyBass runs in the industry standard free Kontakt Player, meaning you don’t have to worry about any additional hidden costs. Kontakt is the most widely used and widely compatible sampler in the industry, meaning there is a robust team of professionals available to make it work perfectly for you.

TRUBASS TECHNOLOGY
Based on our next generation truBass technology, UmanskyBass features a ridiculously robust collection of articulations, including: Finger Picking, Ghost Notes, Slap Bass, Natural Harmonics, Hammer On/Pull Off, Tapping, truSlides, Thump & various mutes.

MULTI-SAMPLING
The entire fretboard of the instrument is multi-sampled so that your virtual riffs sound exactly as intended. Ie. Playing an open D string sounds vastly different to playing that same D note on the B-string.

TRUSLIDES
Our truSlide algorithm can slide from any note on the virtual fretboard, to any other note, at whatever speed or velocity curve you desire, to perfectly match the slides of your real guitars.

INTELLIGENT ALTERNATE PICKING
Our proprietary tempo-synced alternate picking algorithm has a robust round robin that never sounds like samples are repeating, no matter the speed of your music.

PACKET FRESH’ TONE
UmanskyBass was sampled with brand new steel strings, meaning that you always get that lovely ‘packet fresh’ tone, with no wear down. The average professional bass recording session often costs several times the price of UmanskyBass in string packets alone.
