Nordisk Kontrabass

Nordisk Kontrabass by Have Audio is an upright bass instrument that moves from rich, natural low end to atmospheric cinematic textures. Built from over 14,000 samples, it combines full-range legato and pizzicato with harmonics, glissandos, double stops, bow textures and wood-body percussion. It suits film composers and producers who want convincing acoustic bass parts alongside more experimental material for ambient tracks, intimate scores and dramatic cues. Stereo microphone and DI options provide different tonal perspectives, while the built-in arpeggiator helps turn articulations into rhythmic ideas. Recorded phrases and textures can be reshaped with reverse playback and real-time Warp time-stretching, including accelerando and ritardando gestures. Nine reverbs, delay and the ICE effect expand the palette, taking the instrument beyond traditional bass duties into evolving harmonies and expressive sound design.
