The Gentleman Bassist

Impeccably well-dressed and polite. Absolutely lethal on bass!

There’s no aggression or “who cares” indie-rock attitude in the playing. No, DANDY quietly lays down ultra-smooth, highly-polished basslines without hogging the spotlight or taking up too much room in a mix. How civilized!

Like a classic gentleman
DANDY uses its understated charm to make you sound and feel amazing. Our meticulously sampled bass guitar with flat-wound strings has a classy, warm and restrained vintage sound that is markedly different than our more modern and in-your-face ROYAL 2 and ROWDY 2 virtual bassists. However, when paired with the included multi-effects, DANDY effortlessly delivers fantastic tones that sound right at home in both modern and vintage productions.
Great-sounding modern and vintage tones
DANDY sounds fantastic on any production that needs electric bass, but it’s particularly great on Soul, Pop, Blues and Rock tracks. Our custom-made DSP algorithms push the raw sound of the bass in many directions from soft, round tones (perfect for vibey old school soul and blues tracks) all the way to bright modern pop and rock. Try blending DANDY with your synth-bass lines to give them a little more life and sophistication!
Perfect for beginners and professionals alike
DANDY is perfect for all producers of all skill levels. The fail-proof controls ensure that beginners get great-sounding results that don’t sound like canned repetitive loops. Skilled keyboard players can easily bypass the virtual musician features and play the bass parts exactly as they like. Everyone gets great bass in their productions!
Features at a Glance
DANDY automatically follows the key and chord you play and intelligently selects the most musical articulations to make your tracks shine. The result is a fantastic bass delivered quickly and without drama.
Player Mode
Player Mode features some brilliant technology we’ve pioneered to bring ultra-realistic bass performances into your music – even if you don’t play the bass or keyboards. 990 masterfully played phrases in 30 different musical styles that can be easily and seamlessly strung together to create the perfect performance for your song. These aren’t just boring MIDI loops, mind you.

If you prefer to record your own phrases (or even bass solos!) Instrument Mode gives you complete access to all articulations. This means you can use your MIDI controller to play exactly as you want with maximum creative expression (including adding dead notes, full stops and even slides!)
