The DANDY Black Friday deal takes 92% off this UJAM virtual bass instrument, bringing it to $9 until Dec 9, 2026.
DANDY is a virtual bassist built around a vintage electric bass with flat-wound strings. UJAM describes the playing as ultra-smooth and polished, with no indie-rock attitude, so the bass sits in a mix without shouting.
The maker says it suits Soul, Pop, Blues and Rock best, though it works on any production that needs electric bass.
UJAM says the sampled flat-wound bass has a warm, restrained vintage voice. It sits apart from the more modern, in-your-face ROYAL and ROWDY bassists in the same line.
Custom DSP algorithms push the raw bass sound from soft, round tones for old-school soul and blues to bright modern pop and rock. You can also blend DANDY under a synth-bass line to give it more movement.
Player Mode is for getting a realistic bass part without playing bass or keys. It uses 1380 played phrases across 60 musical styles, which you string together into a performance.
The phrases follow the key and chord you play, and DANDY picks the articulations for you. UJAM says these are not plain MIDI loops.
Instrument Mode gives you every articulation directly. Record your own lines or solos from a MIDI controller, including dead notes, full stops and slides.
The maker says beginners get usable results from the simple controls, and keyboard players can skip the virtual musician and play the parts themselves.
You can pick from a range of amps and effects, dial in the character, then tweak EQ and dynamics to finish the sound.
Studio One users on version 4.6.2 or later get a PreSonus chord and key track feature with Virtual Bassist 2.1. Style and phrase descriptions show on the piano roll, and the chord track updates the MIDI notes for you.
DANDY ships as VST 2 and AU 2, and the AU 2 version only works with Logic Pro X and newer. It supports MIDI and arrives as downloadable installer files.
You authorise inside the plugin with your ujam.com email address and password. If you move the.blob files to an external drive, UJAM recommends an SSD to avoid dropouts.
