Bassliner

Bass line generator.

This patch helps you to create personal bass lines very easily. Notes can be adjusted by a Step Midi and rhythm patterns by a Switches (sequenced) according to a scale.

The Sampler module included in the patch is very basic and can easily be changed for your favorite VST instrument.

It’s also recommended to set the VST-i’s polyphony to 1.
