Vintage Bass Tones for Soul, Pop, Blues and Rock

DANDY is built around a vintage bass guitar with flat-wound strings, sampled by UJAM. UJAM's custom DSP algorithms shape the raw sound from soft, round tones suited to old-school soul and blues to brighter, modern pop and rock tones.

The bass sits smoothly in a mix rather than pushing forward. The developer suggests blending DANDY with synth-bass lines to add warmth and movement.

Player Mode and Instrument Mode Workflow

Player Mode provides 1380 phrases in 60 musical styles. DANDY follows the key and chord you play and selects articulations to fit the part, so you can build a bassline quickly without playing bass or keyboard.

Instrument Mode gives you access to all articulations so you can play your own parts from a MIDI controller, including dead notes, slides and full stops. Amp and effect choices, EQ and dynamics controls let you shape the final tone. The package also includes 15 Finisher multi-effect modes and 100 presets.
