UNITBASSE 2.0 FOR MAC: WRITE YOUR BASS LINES
AND PLAY WITH A REAL RHYTHM SECTION

Saint-Denis, France, 20 FOIS L'OURS announces UnitBasse 2.0,
the new version of its practice app for bass players on Mac. Scales, tuner,
amp and metronome are now joined by two new modules: Scores, to write bass
lines in standard notation and tab, and BackTrack, a rhythm section played by
real musicians. UnitBasse is also coming to iPad. Available on the Mac App
Store for $24.99.


THE BASS PLAYER'S WORKSHOP, ON MAC
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

UnitBasse is not a studio: it is the bass player's daily practice tool. It
brings together in one app what used to mean juggling PDFs, videos and
software designed for guitar. No subscription, no account, fully offline.


NEW: SCORES
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scores lets you write bass lines in standard notation and tab at the same
time, on a 24-fret fretboard, for 4, 5 and 6-string basses. Notation is complete: dynamics, repeats, 1st and 2nd endings, Segno
and Coda, time signature changes, grace notes, bends, vibrato, harmonics,
ghost notes, palm mute, slap and pop. Songs are split into sections (intro,
verse, chorus…) that you can loop, with lyrics under every bar.

The line plays back on real bass samples, dynamics, bends, harmonics and
ghost notes included. Scores opens Guitar Pro (versions 3 to 8) and MusicXML
files, and exports to PDF, MusicXML, MIDI or text tab. A line written in
Scores can be sent to BackTrack, which plays it with the whole band.


NEW: BACKTRACK
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BackTrack gives bass players a rhythm section to play with: the drums are
played by a real drummer, Olivier Guilbert, then replayed at every tempo,
never stretched. Percussion, keys (piano, vibraphone, organ, electric piano,
synth…), guitar, brass and strings complete the band, each in the style of a
school: Cincinnati funk, Memphis soul, Kansas City big band… Sixteen styles
(from rock to samba, through Motown soul, reggae, metal and country) and 131
charts are ready to play. Anyone can write their own chart, section by
section, or import it from iReal Pro, then shape the song's sound, instrument
by instrument and the drums drum by drum. The
band listens: the bass locks to the drummer's kick, and the chorus sounds
fuller than the verse. The bass is muted by default: the bass player plays.


STILL AT THE HEART OF THE APP
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Scales: 69 scales in 12 families across the whole neck, as notes, intervals
  or degrees, with fingerings, colors for each harmonic role and playback;
  chords of the scale, triads, arpeggios and circle of fifths.
- Tuner: a tuner pedal, needle or strobe, accurate to the cent, reference
  from 430 to 450 Hz.
- Amp: 8 amps, each with its own sound and look, 5 cabinets and a 22-effect
  pedalboard. UnitBasse also loads the Audio Units plugins users already own
  (it does not include any).
- Metronome: 30 to 300 BPM, 20 time signatures including compound and odd
  meters, subdivisions and Tap Tempo.


ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYONE, IN 14 LANGUAGES
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

UnitBasse is fully usable with VoiceOver, in all 14 of its languages: French,
English, German, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Japanese,
Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Korean, Russian, Polish and Turkish.


ALSO ON IPAD
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

real-time amp (8 amps, 5 cabinets, 7 pedals). Sold separately, $11.99.
