Key Features
The UJAM Virtual Bassist Mellow is an organic and natural upright, doublebass virtual instrument plug-in. Highly realistic, Virtual Bassist Mellow takes the performance of a world-class musician and distils it to over 1340 unique phrases in 60 different styles of performance to inject the hip and funky tones of a classic upright bass into your productions. Meticulously recorded through a range of microphone and preamp setups, with 15 onboard Finisher FX and five performance characteristics to choose from, you can traverse a wide range of sounds and tones for your hip-hop, jazz trio or big band mixes.
Presented in a simple interface, Mellow enables users of all abilities to get professional bass sounds fast. Complex musical terminology is simplified into micro timing parameters such as swing, feel and variance to get an ultra-realistic performance that sits within your groove. Staple aspects of studio production such as EQ and compression are available at the click of a single button to fine-tune your tracks to sit within any mix. Suitable for when your productions need to take a walk through thumping and punchy melody and countermelody, Mellow is the instrument for you.
Product Ref: 225017
Soulful and organic, the UJAM Virtual Bassist Mellow hides behind no veil. No tricks are hidden up its sleeve, the sound that was captured is what you hear. Honest and raw, Mellow is the perfect sound and feel for your hip-hop jams, jazz trio or big band productions. Adding realness and authenticity to your tracks, the upright has been captured in stunning detail even as far as encompassing all of the real-life noises you hear on a vintage instrument - from finger slides to the faintest of creaks, Mellow is true to itself. Providing the signature thump, body and texture to your tracks, Mellow is as perfectly suited to melodic, walking bass lines as it is to pulled back, full whole note passages.
Not short of character, UJAM Mellow features an array of sound design and studio production tools onboard to enhance the vibe and mood of your upright bass. Recorded in meticulous detail with four different microphone setups, you can add a distinct flavour of tone to your Mellow Virtual Bassist. Hollow, Full, Round and Present all offer a unique sonic signature with a tailored frequency response, enabling you to quickly and easily find the right microphone for your mix and style - without ever needing to enter a studio!
Performance-altering tools are provided via the Character and Position dial. A five-way Character switch shapes the performance style along with the dynamic range of your Mellow Bassist. Traverse everything from Soft and Deep to help fit the pocket of a jazz groove, leaving space for a soloing piano or guitar or jump into Hard and Tight characteristics to help punch through a vintage hip-hop beat. Controlling the overall timbre of your instrument is the Position dial that seamlessly blends between neck and bridge plucking techniques. Regardless of what microphone or character parameters you have selected, the position of your hand when playing an upright bass determines the overall tonal quality of your sound. Move the position towards the neck for a more rounded and soft tone that's ideal for laying back in the groove or pluck towards the bridge to add punch and midrange that's perfect for walking up the fretboard. Automating between both creates a truly authentic and realistic performance in the exact same way a studio pro would when performing their parts.
Important studio production tools are provided in the form of the onboard room ambience control, EQ and compressor. Presented in easy-to-use formats based on a single dial, the room ambience is a real-life room that's been recorded to add depth, realism and dimension to your sound. A single high and low shelf EQ is accessed via the onboard dial, letting you quickly change the tilt of the frequency response to add more brightness and articulation for intricate performances or add extra sub and weight to fill out slow jams. A highly dynamic instrument, the compressor is perfect for keeping your dynamics in check, ensuring that no matter how aggressive or soft you play, you won't cause any unwanted distortion or peaks and can always be heard.
Transform your sound with Finisher, Octave and Drop-D controls. Ideal for sound design, choose from 15 finisher multi-effects to transform your sound into a completely new instrument for experimental landscapes. Blending in the Octaver adds extra musically-tuned notes into your signal, letting you fill out the low-end without needing to reach for an EQ or finisher effect.
Take control of Virtual Bassist Mellow the way you need to inspire a performance fit for the airways. With both Instrument and Player mode, experienced and non-experienced bassists can unlock the full potential of Mellow.
Player Mode gives you access to the 1380 phrases spanning 60 different styles to ensure that you never run out of ideas for your songwriting. Divided into common songwriting sections such as intros, fills and verses, you can hone in on a specific part to fill the gap in your production. The smart technology behind the Virtual Bassist series means that not only will Mellow automatically follow the key and chord you play, but it will also intelligently select the most musical bass articulations available to support your tracks.
For experienced performers, Instrument mode lets you experiment with the full offering inside of Mellow. Unlock every note and technique included with the meticulously sampled instrument via your MIDI controller or keyboard. Expressive control is afforded with the inclusion of muted notes, slides and stop techniques which can be accessed via the key switches and modulation/pitch wheel bending.
Mellow caters to any musician or producer looking to inject your work with professional bass sounds in a matter of minutes, regardless of your skill set or ability. Built around the frustration-free design, there are no deep menu dives, complicated non-musical terms or cluttered interfaces, just a simple layout that lets you get the results you want fast with complete creative freedom. With practically zero learning curve required, you can supercharge your productions with bold and energetic bass sounds. As well as non-bassists, seasoned veteran bassists with their own equipment will still be able to benefit from Mellow. Production-ready sounds from the get-go and ultra-realistic results combined with ease of use means you can get your ideas down faster than ever before your creative flame burns out. Simply punch in your MIDI performance and let Mellow do the rest without worrying about connecting your large system and losing that one special idea.
Providing you with only a few key controls, you are awarded the flexibility to customise the performance of your Virtual Bassist to get realistic results quickly. Micro timing parameters are presented to add humanisation to your performance, enhancing the natural swing and feel of a realistic bassist. Newly introduced MIDI drag-and-drop of your performances or phrases ensures you can speed up your workflow to follow your creativity without any barriers slowing you down.
