Bass joins the family

Vir2 Instruments is proud to introduce Mojo: Upright Bass , a premier addition to the Mojo instrument family. We recorded acclaimed jazz bassist Stefan “Pista” Bartus on an exquisite 150-year-old double bass through an analog console to develop the most advanced and lifelike upright bass virtual instrument imaginable.

With six dynamic layers, up to eight round-robins, eight articulations, five mic positions, true legato, and an array of superbly designed presets and MIDI grooves, you can take your standup bass performances to new heights. Humanize your sound with speed-dependent articulation switching for note repetitions, beautifully authentic vibrato sustains, simulated vibrato based on real vibrato curves, adjustable string buzz, and an FX suite for full customization.

Change up your vibe

Mojo: Upright Bass comes equipped with a suite of 20 amazing presets that adjust settings for everything from EQ, FX, and Mics to Humanization. Take your sound into the studio, or the concert hall, or the or even the distant past! You also have the ability to create and save your own custom presets.

Instrument page

The Instrument page offers both global and articulation-specific controls. Choose from 20 different presets and dive further into the customization of your vibrato, legato controls, chords, and articulations like performance repetitions, hammer-ons and pull-offs, harmonics, and even percussion! You also get tools like a capo, velocity curve control, and humanization.

Performance page

The Performance page lets you filter through a huge selection of custom MIDI performances by category, meter, key, and scale. Styles include Jazz, Blues, Bossa Nova, Latin, Funk, Rockabilly, as well as categories of fills, ends, and percussion. Use these as inspiration to quickly assemble a bass part!

Effects page

Choose from a suite of eight different effects including EQ, BP Filter, Saturation, Cabinets, Compressor, Limiter, Reverb, and Delay. Presets are available for all the effects to get you started quickly. Take your sound from a vintage studio to a cool jazz club to a modern concert hall in seconds!

Mixer page

The Mixer page includes controls for all five mic positions: neck, body close and far, and stereo room close and far, as well as a full mix option (a pre-mix of all five mic positions for an easier memory load) . 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.

Settings page

Customize the keyboard layout and change how and where the different articulations and release samples are triggered. Articulations can also be combined into a velocity stack to make the instrument even more natural for performances. It has never been easier for an instrument to integrate with your workflow!
