Sound Design and Bass Terrain Control

The central control in SUBCRAFT is Bass Terrain, which moves through combinations of sub tones and overtones. According to UJAM, every tone is pre-processed and phase aligned so the result sits cleanly in a mix.

The Generate feature creates new sound combinations by shuffling the instrument's parameters. It is aimed at moments when you need a starting point rather than a finished sound, and it adds randomization to the sound design process.

Kick Module, Phrase Player and Workflow

The integrated kick module adds punch to a bassline using a selection of phase-aligned kick samples. Higher kick values trigger an automated ducking feature that manages the balance between kick and bass.

The Phrase Player offers more than 120 built-in phrases that can be edited by drag and drop. Phrases can also be sent to other devices through Direct MIDI Out, which lets you use SUBCRAFT as a bass sequencer for other instruments.

The Artist Preset Pack adds 50 presets for K-Pop, trap, EDM and hyperpop, designed by Berlin-based producer and multi-instrumentalist NOEVELUDE. UJAM says these presets are ready-mixed and meant to be used without extra processing.
