Description
CIRCVIT Bass is a sample-based five-string electric bass instrument for macOS and Windows. It captures a Legator Wraith 37-inch multi-scale bass with Fishman Fluence Modern active humbuckers, giving producers an extended-range source for rock, metal, djent, and heavier hybrid productions.
The instrument is built from more than 1000 SSL-recorded samples across E0 to G4. Its three keyswitched articulations cover alternate picking, downstrokes, and upstrokes, so programmed riffs can move beyond static one-shot bass notes.
Four included libraries shape the same instrument into DI, clean, crunch, and drive tones. That makes it flexible enough to run through your own amp chain or to start from a more processed sound when you need a quick aggressive bass layer.
The interface stays intentionally minimal with Master, Bass, Treble, and Human controls. Independent coverage highlights the heavy low-end focus and simple workflow, while the official support page confirms that users install the plugin format first and then import the included .hr1 sample library inside the DAW.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of bass does CIRCVIT Bass sample?
The official page identifies the source as a Legator Wraith 37-inch multi-scale five-string bass with Fishman Fluence Modern active humbuckers. That makes it a modern extended-range electric bass instrument rather than a synth bass or upright bass library.
How are the articulations switched?
The support page says the plugin responds from MIDI key 16 to 67 for notes and uses keys 0, 1, and 2 to switch alternate picking, downstroke, and upstroke articulations. That setup is useful for programming heavier riffs where pick direction changes the feel.
Can I use my own amp simulator with it?
Yes. One of the four included libraries is DI, so you can route the bass through your own amp, cabinet, distortion, or mix chain. The clean, crunch, and drive libraries are there when you want a more processed starting tone.
What does the .hr1 library step mean?
Circvit's support page says to install the plugin file first, then import the sample library file with the .hr1 extension after opening the plugin in your DAW. The SSA download route points to the official product page so users get the current installer and its included readme.
