Bass Line Composer
iOS Universel / Musique
Yo, Bass drummers! Got a split in your head that you've just got to hear right now? Got a line or a lick or an exercise to put down? Compose it and play along with the new Bass Line Composer App!
Now you’ve got a whole bass drum line to play along with. Practice splits and interp. Write out your exercises or make up new ones. Put down that new street beat that’s been bouncing around your brain. Speed it up, slow it down, try it out, edit it, and max it out!
Compose and play along with the actual bass drum sounds of the Paul Rennick 2012 Santa Clara Vanguard, as recorded by bass tech Brian Lowe - tuned the way they’ll sound on finals night.

Quoi de neuf dans la dernière version ?
What’s New In Bass Line Composer
The app has been rebuilt around a faster, more reliable writing and playback experience for marching bass line composers. Recent updates improve audio stability, notation flexibility, MusicXML export accuracy, document handling, and the overall editor workflow.
Native Playback Engine
Playback now uses a more robust native audio path designed for tighter timing, smoother start/stop behavior, and better reliability during rapid playback changes. Practice mode volume balancing, section muting, and loop playback have all been refined to make rehearsing individual parts feel more natural.
Practice Mode
Practice Mode lets you spotlight one section or bass drum while reducing the volume of the rest of the ensemble. It now includes a clear on-screen indicator and can be turned off directly from the editor.
Improved MusicXML Export
MusicXML export is more accurate for complex subdivisions, chords, rests, and unusual rhythmic divisions.
Better Document Workflow
The home screen and document browser experience have been refined with clearer branding, improved legibility, recent-file access, and build-specific titles for Ensemble and Bassline. Saving, closing, and reopening files now better preserves app state without carrying over temporary playback or practice-mode settings.
