Roland VB-99 Artist Patches
Get 50 signature bass tones for the Roland VB-99 V-Bass System, developed to capture the sound of legendary bass players — no endless searching, just load and play. Whether you want vintage warmth or modern clarity, this collection covers a huge range of styles.
Built to take full advantage of the VB-99’s COSM modeling, these patches help you skip straight to a signature tone for stage or studio use.
Roland VB-99 V-Bass System
The VB-99 gives bass players access to a vast array of vintage and modern bass guitar, amplifier, and bass synth sounds through advanced COSM effects modeling, with the ability to layer two sounds simultaneously — including a bass synth and lead electric guitar tone at once. Included with the VB-99 is the Roland GK3B pickup, which converts bass notes to MIDI in real time, unlocking instant tuning changes and control over a wide range of virtual instruments. The COSM processing can even transform an electric bass into the sound of an upright bass when paired with the GK3B.
