Toontrack The Eighties Ebx [ezbass] Apr 2026

Unlike most EBX expansions that focus on a single bass, The Eighties provides two distinct "pillars" of the era:

The expansion includes 37 presets tailored to 80s genres. For the electric bass, a unique Subbase control adds sine waves (at the fundamental and octave frequencies) to thicken the DI signal.

Known for its sophisticated circuitry and "hi-fi" tone, the Wal bass became a staple for elite 1980s session players. This library was sampled as low as A0 , providing a full step below a standard 5-string's low B. It includes both finger and pick articulations, capturing everything from smooth, round textures to the aggressive "bite" needed for 80s rock.

Users can apply the "playing style" of an 80s MIDI groove to their own existing chord progressions, instantly injecting that decade’s rhythmic DNA into a modern track. Strategic Value in Production

It comes with a custom library of MIDI grooves structured as full songs, rhythm patterns, and fills, all optimized for the playing styles of the era.
