Critter & Guitari released a new promo video for their Bolsa Bass synthesizer that explains its capabilities with freakosonic psychedelic animation.

The Critter & Guitari Bolsa Bass synthesizer features six modes of bass sound, a sequencer and full MIDI capabilities.

The six synthesis modes are:

  • Circle Ramp
  • Sawtooth Ramp
  • Analog Style
  • Filter Envelope
  • FM Pad
  • Bass Delay

The sequencer lets you quickly create bass lines with the touch of a button. You can also record and playback knob adjustments for things like filter sweeps and changes in delay time or tuning.

With MIDI IN and OUT jacks 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 entire 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 Bolsa Bass is priced at US $250. See the C&G site for details.

  1. Wow that was the best commercial ive seen for any music software or hardware lol. Definatly made me want one…next toy? Ppl give me your input aswell!

  2. Awesome! I have their pocket piano midi and it’s prett addictive. Bolsa Bass looks awesome and has a decent price too. So, I almost always buy one instrument during the summer. Will it be Bolsa Bass or Korg Volca Bass?? Hmmm…

  3. It actually sounds pretty great! But I’d immediately unscrew the pink plate and spray paint it something more subdued, I love the wood!!!
