MusicRadar's got your back
This budget-priced bass bonanza from download dons Puremagnetik features 29 multisampled Korg MS20 patches designed to be played on the lower notes of your keyboard.
They generally have a pleasing analogue feel, and deinitely sound far removed from the digital precision of today's soft synths.
On the downside, many of the patches lack the punch and solid low end we look for in our bass sounds, which makes it hard to recommend Analog Bass Volume 2.
However, if you don't mind a little inconsistency, this collection represents good value for money.
