The Octobass is the lowest concert string instrument, with a thunderous, room-shaking growl. This 12GB+ library for Kontakt has 30+ articulations, with various sustains, shorts, dynamic expressions, legato, effects, aleatoric phrases, inspiring performance tools, creative options and a huge range of custom spaces.
The Oktobass is the deepest concert string instrument, with a thunderous, room-shaking growl. We've sampled this bone-rattling beast to build a massive virtual instrument offering 30+ articulations and over 12GB of content. You'll find a variety of sustains, shorts, dynamic expressions, true legato, creative effects and hundreds of aleatoric melodic phrases. As part of our Hyperion symphonic series, it provides a suite of intuitive options, flexible tools and inspiring performance features, from intelligent arpeggiation and articulation switching, to flexible tempo-synching and sound-shaping DSP effects, all at your fingertips to make it easy to craft brilliantly life-like arrangements.
The first Oktobass (also spelled "Octobass”) was built in 1849 by Jean Baptiste Vuillaume, but it drifted into legend by the end of the 1800s, lost but not forgotten for over a century. Then in 1996, double bass player Nicola Moneta, luthier Pierre Bohr and bow-maker Piero Cavalazzi constructed the first modern Octobass. Moneta has gone on to play it in nearly 150 concerts around the world over the last 25 years, though it still remains one of only a handful in existence today.
This 3.48 meter (11.5 ft) mammoth is played from a raised platform, using a row of mechanical levers to control the fingerboard. The cavernous instrument body produces a surprisingly nuanced character, with intense stereo movement and subtle mechanical ornamentation.
We worked with Giorgio Riolo and Daniele Bertinelli to capture the Octobass at Moneta's private gallery in Milan, Italy. It was recorded using a close pair of large-diaphragm mics at the F holes to achieve a dry and intimate sound, and a wide-spaced pair of omnis at 2 meters for a bright and vivid chamber quality. The mics can be blended in real-time, and the instrument can be freely positioned on our virtual stage, featuring a huge menu of our custom environments, so it's easy to mix into any arrangement you desire. Your creative options are endless with the Hyperion Solo Strings Oktobass!

Soundiron Oktobass Phrases WAV
Soft / Samples, Presets, Banks Of Sounds

The Oktobass is the deepest concert string instrument, extending down to 16Hz. It creates a thunderous, room-shaking growl at the low notes that transforms into a sweet honey-like tone at the high notes. We've sampled this bone-rattling beast in comprehensive detail, integrated into a massive sample pack of improvised melodic phrases.
To play this 3.48 meter (11.5 ft) mammoth, you must climb a set of stairs onto a raised platform and operate a row of mechanical levers to control the fingerboard with your left hand, while you bow with your right. The size and cavernous resonances inside the body of the instrument produce a nuanced and complex tonal character, with intense stereo movement and subtle mechanical ornamentation when playing melodic phrases.
