Composition
Key, groove and role shape what the line is doing.
30P / BRACE / v1.0.0
Bass,
braced.
BRACE — a generative bass instrument. Give it a role, a key and a groove; it writes the line, performs it with dynamics and a kick relationship you choose, and hands you the wheel. AU / VST3 / Standalone, Apple Silicon.

The idea
A session player.
Not a preset.
A bass instrument that plays bass — not one that only makes bass sounds. Give it a role. It performs.
Four brains
Intent through
the whole instrument.
Performance
Dynamics and timing turn notes into a played part.
Voice
Clean tracked sub with driven upper character.
Surface
Hands-on control keeps the musician in charge.
Give it a role
AnchorPulseCounterlinePressureResponseMelodicDroneDisruptor
The selected role changes note choice, density, movement and behaviour.
Kick relationship
FollowReinforceCounterAnswerAnticipateLeave space
Choose how the bass and kick cooperate instead of fixing their relationship after the fact.
The voice

Sub → layers → drive → filter → room → ceiling.
Workflow
Keep the useful part.
Capture and loop. Export MIDI. Draw the surface. Sync with tap tempo or MIDI clock. Assign controls with MIDI learn. Inspect the result in SCOPE.
