BassKey

BassKey is a mono bass synth in beta.

Built by Get That Sound for focused sub, bassline and groove work. I'm testing oscillator balance, glide, filter response, sequencer timing, preset recall and host compatibility before public release.

/ What to test · 01

Where I need ears.

Beta reports that focus on these areas are the most useful right now.

01 / Low end

Low-end behaviour

Sub weight, tuning stability, phase feel and how the low end translates outside the studio.

02 / Glide

Glide and portamento

Slides, short notes, longer transitions, and how glide behaves in tempo-dependent phrases.

03 / Filter

Filter and envelope response

How the bass sits in a mix, not just solo. Envelope shapes against drums and other bass content.

04 / Sequencer

Sequencer feel

Groove, note length, host sync and pattern recall across sessions.

05 / Hosts

Host reliability

Installers, plugin scanning, preset recall, automation and offline bounce in your DAW.
