IR-J4 MIDI Bass

Powered by Fretsense™

The IR-J4 MIDI Bass is the perfect companion for the professional bassist who wants to harness the power of MIDI and get more out of their instrument of choice both live and in the studio.

The IR-J4 MIDI Bass utilises Industrial Radio's unique mutli-sensor Fretsense MIDI technology to provide the lowest possible latencies with more accuracy than pitch-to-voltage systems.
