SLAP Black Friday deal: UJAM's virtual bass plugin is 75% off at $29 until Dec 9, 2026.
SLAP is a virtual instrument that plays electric bass lines for you. You trigger it with a few MIDI notes and clicks, and it delivers slap and finger-style performances.
The maker calls it the wild child among bassists: modern, lively and far from the cheesy slap sounds of old TV themes.
The phrases are the core of it. Pick a style, play a few notes, and the bass answers with a pattern instead of a flat note.
The sound is based on a Stingray bass with an active pickup system. UJAM describes the character as spirited yet balanced.
The maker says the advanced recording and phrase techniques give the playing the feel of a seasoned bass player. Programming realistic bass by hand can be a chore, and SLAP is built to make that part fast.
You can combine slap and finger styles in one performance. The maker says the bass reacts intuitively to whatever you play.
There is also a custom Fuzz Box effect. It adds extra dirt for the moments when regular distortion is not filthy enough.
UJAM says SLAP works on any production, with a particular strength in Pop, Funk, Jazz and Rock. Highly rhythmical patterns and uptempo styles are where it does its best work.
The MIDI drag and drop function lets you pull a performance out of the plugin and into your session. From there you can edit the part on your DAW's piano roll like any other MIDI.
SLAP also pairs with Virtual Bassist ROWDY, which is plectron-based. SLAP covers slap and finger techniques, so the two are built to complement each other.
SLAP comes as VST and AU 2. The AU 2 version only works with Logic Pro X and newer. MIDI is the supported standard.
You may be able to run it on earlier OS versions, but UJAM does not support them. For current VST3, AAX and Apple Silicon support, UJAM points to its own website.
The plugin comes as downloadable installer files. An internet connection is required for download and authorisation, which you do 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 prevent dropouts.
Yes. The SLAP Black Friday deal takes 75% off UJAM's bass plugin, bringing it to $29, and it runs until Dec 9, 2026. It comes as a downloadable installer, with authorisation done inside the plugin.
SLAP has 30 styles with over 350 individual phrases, both slap and finger playing techniques, more than 100 presets, 30 Finisher multi-effect modes and MIDI drag and drop. A custom Fuzz Box effect adds extra dirt.
SLAP comes as VST and AU 2, with MIDI as the supported standard. The AU 2 version only works with Logic Pro X and newer. For current VST3, AAX and Apple Silicon support, UJAM refers to its website.
