Description

iFretless Bass is a professional virtual instrument that provides bass and guitar players with an expressive fretless playing surface. The layout is like an eight string bass guitar with the notes colored black and white like the keys of a piano. Although it looks different from a guitar neck, bass players will find it surprisingly easy to use. The app's ability to measure the force of touches on the screen allows it to respond to dynamics and accented notes with a wide range of different tones for each instrument. FEATURES 1) 13 deeply sampled bass sounds 2) MIDI input and output 3) Audio Unit 3 support 4) Audiobus support 5) Parametric Equalizer 6) MPE multi-channel MIDI support 7) Accurate touch force sensing, even on devices that don't support 3D touch BASS SOUNDS 1) Fretless bass 2) Slap bass 3) Jazz bass 4) Acoustic upright bass 5) Pick bass 6) Muted Pick Bass 7) Hard Fingerstyle Bass 8) Electric upright bass 9) Saw wave analog synth bass 10) Chameleon synth bass 11) Snarling synth bass 12) FM synth bass 13) Wonder synth bass

  • MOST REALISTIC šŸ™Œ!!!

    Hands down best sounding and MOST REALISTIC sounding bass in the App Store for sure. And the adjustable parameters are essential and perfect to dial in your preferred sound. Iā€™d be stuck buying a bass had it not be for this app since I do more metal core screamo post-hardcore music. You can actually get some good string soundsā€¦itā€™s perfect in every way and is a must have for anyone who needs realistic bass sounds
  • A Fun to Play Instrument from a Great Developer

    The sounds are good, the AUv3 integration is handy, and the playing UI is remarkably easy to pick up and fun to play for me as a bass player. The developer is very responsive when issues pop up and the app is well-supported. If youā€™re looking to add electric bass sounds to your projects on iOS, this is a must-have!
  • THE BEST BASS APP thanks again

    Hello iFretless Just want to say thanks again for the best bass app in the App Store if your a musician who records on the iPad you will not find a better sounding bass app. Please everyone buy this to support the development of it
  • Does not work in Logic Pro on iOS

    I was really looking forward to using this with Logic Pro on the iOS - however, it seems that is not currently supported. Would love for the developers to make it functional on Logic Pro. Will have to play around with it on GarageBand for now. Thank you!!
  • Have you tested this on an M1 Mac?

    Please try to fix iFretless Bass so this can be reliably used as an AU on desktop for GarageBand and Logic Pro. It's a great sounding Bass but crashing issues and incompatibilities with macOS Sonoma have made use of iFretless apps on desktop impossible for now. Thank you.
  • Lower notes please

    I love the app. I use it with my midi keyboard controller. I wish it can get the low Bb note like bass players who turn their instruments down 1/2 step on their 5 string basses
  • Great natural sounding bass!

    More convenient than grabbing a real bass and sounds as good! Game changer for mobile music making.
  • Nice but,,,

    A truly great instrument which sounds extremely authentic and is fun to play. My only criticism is this. Why that annoying string buzz on bottom E. Yes Iā€™m sure itā€™s for authenticity but itā€™s unnecessary. I particularly like the hard finger fret style but itā€™s ruined by this. Turn down the velocity control I hear you say,,,but then the hard style is lost. Please remove it in an update or is there a secret trick ? I want to give 5 stars but the buzz is giving me Tinnitus.
  • Nice Instrument would love to see it deepened, though

    I really dig this bass library. I was in search something similar to my COPIOUS bass VSTs in a convenient app and this had the best reviews. Although not NEARLY as deeply sampled or scripted as a bass library for Kontakt or Ample Sound, these samples are great and retain most of the authentic bass aura that you donā€™t get with many keyboard bass patches. I wonā€™t gripe about adding scripting to simulate the ranges and register of a real bass, as I know that this requires lots of time and investment & is a bit much to expect from a $15 app. But, I will suggest an update adding adjustable layers for all of the resonant, release, & fret noise idiosyncrasies of a bass to make the sound less sterile, adding ā€˜string tapā€™ & atonal mute samples assignable to a single key, MIDI CC, & velocity layer as an option for rhythmic players, optionally integrating the ā€œhard fingerā€ samples with their buzzing into the regular bass libraries to generate even more tonal variation on each string (round robin would be nice, but I understand limitations), include a few assignable effects (up and down slides, slap fox, etc.) that can also be triggered from the touchscreen & assigned to aftertouch for those of use without a feature rich midi controller, and, lastly, add ā€˜slapā€™ & mute as tab options for all electric basses; offering the ability to include them as a top or bottom velocity layers. Iā€™d gladly shell out more cash to purchase these updates, as I really have no other alternatives other than bringing my MUSE Receptor with Kontakt out of retirement or settling for my Tyros 5ā€™s bland bass patches. Thanks for this great app!
  • Tremendous as a MPE midi controllerā€¦!

    ā€¦for both iOS and MacOS apps and software. I use it to control orange tree samples virtual guitars. It allows me to play those guitars with many types of articulations, especially hammer ons, independent slides and bends per string, harmonics, and more! Itā€™s like having a linnstrument!
