FuruBass-MM1984 — MM Type Active Bass Library for KONTAKT
🎸 FuruBass-MM1984 — MM-Type Active Bass Library for KONTAKT
Trusted by over 550 professional composers and producers in Japan.
Overview
FuruBass-MM1984 is an MM-type active bass library inspired by an early-1980s design, recorded using the same studio gear and workflow that Japanese bassist, composer, and arranger Takahiro Furukawa uses in real-world recording sessions.
FuruBass is designed with one clear philosophy:
Never interrupt musical inspiration.
There are no complicated key switches, no deep menus, and no setup required.
Simply load the instrument and start playing — even straightforward MIDI input immediately delivers a tight, punchy, and modern bass sound.
FuruBass-MM1984 is built for clarity and impact.
Its fast attack, focused low end, and aggressive presence allow it to cut through dense arrangements with ease, making it ideal for modern pop, rock, funk, and slap-driven productions.
Requires: Full version of KONTAKT 5.8.1 or later
(Not compatible with KONTAKT Player)
