MONSTER BASS is a complete Bass solution for the Low Frequency that your music needs!

It’s a FREE BASS VST with 3 sound categories (Electric Bass, Synth Bass, and Acoustic Bass) suitable for any music genre and for all Music Arrangers and Music Producers!

It’s a ROMpler VST, meaning it’s a simple sampler without too many parameters, just a simple and basic one like Filter, ADSR, Glide knob, and a simple LFO!

The great thing about this VST is that this is never complete. This VST gets a new expansion sound continuously every now and then!

Welcome to my free virtual instrument plugin page. I’m Agus Hardiman and the maker of this MonsterDAW plugin!

Monster Bass is under the MonsterDAW name that was previously on the www.monsterdaw.com website (all of the VSTs there will be moved later to this AHTV blog).

Notes: MonsterDAW is a brand owned by me, Agus Hardiman, the host of this AHTV Blog

In Cubase, after inserting the Monster Bass plugin, you have to open the automation lane (I’m using Monster Synth as the example):

In Studio One, go to the Piano Roll and add the parameters to automate (I’m using Monster Synth as the example):

In other DAWs, find a way/googling on how to add automation lanes/tracks.

FAQ About Monster Bass

Q : I have installed Monster Bass version 1. Should I delete that version or keep it ?

A : If you have some important project sessions with version 1, you should keep it. It will not clash with the new version 2. On my computer, I have version 1 and version 2, side-by-side. This version 2 has more presets.

Q : I chose the wrong folder library and my Monster plugins show up with a different library. How to solve this?

A : Move the wrong library folder to somewhere else on your hard disk and start the plugin again. It will ask for the new folder location. Now, choose the right one. You can move back that 1st folder to its original location after the plugin loads the correct library.

Q : I want XXX and YYY features of Monster Bass, can you program it?

A : To be honest, I’m a professional musician and audio educator BUT I’m not a professional plugin programmer. I do this just for fun, so your request may not be available (but you can always try to ask me via the CONTACT page).

Q : Why there is no VST 32-bit versions anymore?

A : In the past, I made a 32-bit version of my VST. But now my programming software CAN’T output 32-bit plugin anymore, so I’m not providing 32-bit.

Q : I have a problem using this plugin on my Mac, I’m using Monterey/Big Sur/Catalina or new Mac OSX. It says that the files are damaged or can’t be opened because the developer is not trusted.

A : That problem was caused by Mac OS security which now is very strict. I have applied for a developer account in Apple to be a trusted developer but they haven’t responded to my inquiry yet.
