Toontrack EBX Progressive Metal

What Toontrack EBX The Sixties Is For

Toontrack EBX The Sixties is an extension designed to enrich EZbass with a modern 6-string electric bass, crafted for productions where precision, attack, and harmonic range are essential. It is particularly aimed at demanding styles such as progressive metal and its variants, but also suits any music where the bass must play a melodic role, support lower tunings, or carry technical passages.

Whether you compose in a DAW, produce quick demos, or finalize a credible bass part without a recording session, this EBX allows you to build dynamic, playable, and genre-appropriate lines while maintaining control over low-end clarity and presence in the mix.

Main Features

A modern 6-string bass, deeply recorded

The instrument at the heart of the extension is a 6-string electric bass captured with a high level of detail to reproduce the response of modern playing. The goal is to retain clear definition, useful in dense arrangements (distorted guitars, fast drums, synths), while keeping a stable and musical low end.

Complete articulations for expressive performances

EBX The Sixties offers several essential playing styles for modern aesthetics: fingerstyle for warmth and control, pick for attack and rhythmic precision, slap for percussive brightness, and tapping for technical runs and more melodic lines. This variety facilitates transitions from a restrained verse to a more aggressive chorus, or from a locked groove to virtuosic fills, without changing tools.

Mix-ready presets and direct signal

To speed up workflow, the extension provides a wide selection of sound presets including effect processing, as well as the untreated direct signal. You can start with a sound that is immediately "mix-ready" for composition, then switch back to the direct signal to fine-tune your own processing, automation, and balance choices (attack, low mids, brightness) according to your production.

Internal MIDI library oriented towards progressive

The integrated MIDI library offers bass lines suited to the genre, ideal for starting an arrangement, generating variations, or saving time during writing. It also serves as an educational base to analyze typical rhythmic turns, syncopated placements, or more technical sequences, then adapt them to your chord progression and structure.
