01Overview

ROWDY 2 Loyalty Upgrade is a virtual bassist plugin from UJAM built around a loud, picked electric bass sound. The developer describes it as suited to a range of styles, from punk and rock to modern metal. It offers two modes: a Player Mode that follows the key or chord you play on a MIDI controller, and an Instrument Mode that maps the full fretboard to the keyboard like a sampler. This upgrade route is available to owners of eligible paid UJAM products.

Sound, Tone Shaping and Style Library

ROWDY 2 Loyalty Upgrade includes 60 styles and 1380 phrases. UJAM lists 20 new styles and 30 new presets among the changes from the earlier version, along with 15 Finisher multi-effect modes and backwards compatibility.

The tone section gives you a choice between a DI signal and three amplifiers, each with separate overdrive and fuzz controls. A Character control provides quick access to a range of sounds, and an octave control, a simple EQ and a dynamics section let you shape the final tone.

UJAM also describes an artificially intelligent articulation model that handles how notes are played.

Workflow, MIDI and Who It Is For

Player Mode lets you pick a style and phrase from your MIDI controller, with the phrases adjusting to the key or chord you play. Instrument Mode gives keyboard players direct control over the fretboard, including dead notes, full stops and slides.

MIDI drag and drop is one of the new features. The plugin suits producers who need a bass part that cuts through heavy drums and guitars, and it is designed so that users at any experience level can get usable basslines quickly.
