Colorful new bass synthesizer – Bolsa Bass
Critter & Guitari has introduced Bolsa Bass - a new bass synthesizer.
The keyboard may be tuned over a 1 octave range by turning the knob second from right. Volume is controlled by the right-most knob. The function of the remaining two left knobs depend on what mode is selected.
The synthesizer modes provide elemental monophonic bass sounds, great for all kinds of musical scenarios. From classic filter sweeps to simple and pure tones, lush FM, and even a stretchy tuned delay which makes great string like drones.
The built in sequencer lets you quickly create bass lines with the touch of a button. With MIDI in and out you can synchronize your sequences with other devices. The Bolsa Bass also sends and receives note messages so you can use it as a sound module or simple controller.
The Bolsa Bass has a built-in sequencer, full MIDI capabilities, and six modes:
- Circle Ramp
- Sawtooth Ramp
- Analog Style
- Filter Envelop
- FM Pad
- Bass Delay
Here’s a set of audio demos:
Details:
- Wooden Buttons
- Pink Neon Powder Coated Aluminum Enclosure
- Power From 9v Battery or Adapter (not included)
- 1/4″ Line Output Jack
- High quality 32 Bit Floating Point DSP Synthesis
The Bolsa Bass is available for $250 right here >>

“…any sound, soft or loud, sweet or nasty, creates a multidimensional
envelope that does more than intrude – it takes over not only your acoustic space,
but your mind space as well. There is no escaping sound.
It meets your body and forcibly enters your mind, not
just through your ears but also via your bones…”
