WHAT IT IS?
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 (Synth Bass, Electric 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!

FEATURES
Here are the complete features of Monster Bass:
- Simple GUI / easy to use.
- Every sound is unique because each sound is programmed and sampled from scratch.
- There are 25 Preset in this version 1.0, ranging from Synth Bass sound, Electric Bass sound, and Acoustic Bass sound (more to come in later version).
- Very little RAM usage.
- Simple parameter, only Master Reverb and Master Volume, and Level Meter with a bunch of basic things like ADSR curve, Filter section, Glide knob, LFO and Voice Mode (Polyphonic, Monoponic or Legato Mode).
- It’s only 2 octave+ range (from MIDI Notes B0 to E3) because this is only for Bass part of your music, not for melodies!
- Major plugin format: Windows 32bit DAW and 64bit DAW, Mac VST, and Mac Audio Unit (AU) so it can be used in the majority of DAWs (Sorry, no support for Pro Tools, but you can use VST to AAX converter like Blue Cat’s PatchWork).
TIPS
Here are a few tips when using Monster Bass:
- Try to change Filter Mode and tweak the Cutoff Frequency to find your desired tone!
- Set the Voice Mode to Monophonic or Legato Mode and set the Glide knob and play some legato notes (might not work on some of the preset).
- Try to route a source (Mod Wheel or Velocity) to Pitch destination, or pan and tweak the LFO’s Rate and Depth.
- If you find your favorit tone, use ‘Save As Preset’ command on your DAW software to make it permanent so you can recall it on another project.

SPECIAL NOTES FOR MAC USER
Apple / Mac now have tightened their security on their OS. So my VST sometimes get a red flag or identified as a virus or malware or Mac marked my plugin as damaged.
If you need to believe me, please check my personal web here: www.AgusHardiman.com and www.ArtSonica.com, I’m a music producer and Steinberg Certified Trainer and making FREE VSTs are my passion.
So I’m legit and I HAVE NO INTENTION TO SPREAD VIRUSES OR MALWARES!
For a software or plugin to be notarized (=not flag as danger software or viruses or malware), I have to pay Apple some amount of money yearly. And right now, I’m not doing this (paying them).
So the solution is to use the terminal trick explained here:
Or watch this :
And my friend Agung Putranto has been kind enough to share what he did to make my VST shows up in his Logic Pro 10.7.1 on Monterey OS (This trick maybe work on earlier Logic Pro version and on BigSur OS too) :
Or read these articles :
- Resolving the Mac-only error: “The file is damaged and should be moved to the trash.”
- How to Install Software from Unsigned Developers on a Mac
- And googling about it (some famous plugin developer experience this too).

Very cool instrument. Nice samples and interface. Thank you for sharing.
Some feedback that may be of interest:
– I was testing parameters and the normal velocity curve seems to produce louder strikes than the “strong” option – not sure if imagining, but it seems parameter may be off there.
– The lower G# note on the interface doesn’t seem to trigger when using the mouse as input. (It plays fine with midi controller)
Anyhow – again very cool instrument. I’m going to try to use it in a track in the next few days – but seems very usable and a cool instrument to have for bass.
Thank you Michael, I will check it and fixed it later
Hi is there any way you could turn your monster bass and monster keys into kontakt native instruments libraries?
I’m planning to do that in the future but it will not be free because making a Kontakt library is not easy, not to mention that I have to pay Native Instruments if I want it displayed in their library list of Kontakt 🙏🏻
Hi, You dont have to pay them anything. Just create an instrument and it will be fully functional in full version of kontakt. You only have to pay if You want to have the library to be functional in the free kontakt player. Which has no sense for this type of libraries. Most libraries available out there (and I mean commercial libraries) are not compatible with free kontakt player as the payment to NI is too high.
I know that already because I have released free Kontakt library since 6 years ago in my old site http://www.IndonesiaVST.com (please check it, I have like 4 or 5 free Kontakt Library). What I mean is that if I want my library to show up in Kontakt libraries list (the left side of Kontakt where every library are shown), I have to pay them 😃
Hello everyone, greetings from Germany. Monster Bass is a great plugin. The included presets are awesome. Many sounds that you can recognize in current songs from the charts. I love Monster Bass. Thanks Agus.
Wow thanks for the kind words! It makes me want to add more Preset, stay tuned !

Btw you mention great reviews. Can you give me some link of that great reviews? I have no problem about my VST is in torrent 😃
Downloaded UA versionsof Moster Bass and Golden Piano and installed. When I started Logic Pro, the scan of new plug-ins rejected them – Did not meet the standard for Apple AU plugins.
Yes, because Apple wants me to pay them some amount of dollar money every year and I choose not to pay (it’s a freeware) 😃

Primeramente:
Quiero agradecer mucho pero mucho por crear este software que me parece excelente en muchos sentidos y mas aun por compartirlo y distribuirlo gratuitamente.
En mi humilde opinion muchas cosas me parecen excelentes, desde la interfaz, el tamaño de la interfaz, los colores, el logotipo del dragon, la
distribucion de los controles, el tipo y color de letra, la cantidad de ajustes, etc. Todo esta perfecto!
Me parece un plugin VST o instrumento de lo mejor que hay, esta al nivel de muchos programas de paga o inlcuso mejor ya que algunos no
incluyen la funcionalidad de Reverberacion como Zenology y eso que es un Sintetizador profesional super robusto y no incluye esta escencial funcion.
MonsterBass si la incluye y es de mucha ayuda debido a que ya no se requiere de ningun plugin adicional en el mixer.
Incluye 25 presets unicamente pero son suficientes y son sonidos buenisimos, excelentes presets que se pueden utilizar en diferentes estilos como rock, balada, bolero, jazz, metal, incluso en musica country o ranchera, etc.
Ademas esas 25 presets se pueden editar un poco con los diferentes ajustes y crear sonidos relativamente nuevos.
Personalmente ya es de mis favoritos, ya forma parte de mi repertorio de instrumentos VST, de hecho he reemplazado algunos otros instrumentos
con este, Monster Bass, sin mencionar que ya lo incorporo en varias piezas en las que estoy trabajando actualmente.
Soy programador de software y aunque nunca he programado un plugin VST ni nada similar, puedo apreciar el trabajo, la labor, la dedicacion
y la funcionalidad de un software como este, asi que muchas gracias nuevamente.
Saludos!!
Hola Gerry,

Cannot download AU because Chrome is blocking the site for being an insecure link
Strange…thousand of people have downloaded it and if you googling “Monster bass” there are already many users using this and respected blogs like Bedroomproducersblog (https://bedroomproducersblog.com/2021/09/28/monster-bass-monsterdaw/) or ProducerFeed (https://www.producerfeed.com/2021/09/monster-bass-free-virtual-instrument-monsterdaw.html) are already download my stuff without problem, without viruses, without malware, etc.
Maybe it’s a false alarm, you can ignore it 😃 Or if you don’t believe me, just pass everything on this site and look for something else 😃
