Joshua Johnson hasn't added a story.

Sometimes the hardest part of making a beat is the fundamentals, especially the bassline. Create Bully is being built to deliver the same punch as Bass Bully Premium, but with a twist. With one click, it’s designed to generate MIDI 808 bass patterns directly inside your DAW, locked to your track’s key and tempo. The goal is to speed up workflow, break creative blocks, and help producers hit tight deadlines or finish beat tapes faster, so you’re ready to pitch to artists, publishers, film and TV.

 

Create Bully is being built to generate a MIDI bass pattern directly inside your DAW, locked to:
  • Your project tempo
  • Your selected key and scale
This is designed so every note will be musically correct and ready to use straight away.
You’ll be able to select:
  • Key and scale, so basslines stay musical
  • A genre style to guide the rhythm and movement
Genres focus on modern production styles including:
  • Hip hop
  • Trap
  • RnB
  • EDM
Each genre is designed to lean into familiar bass patterns producers already use, so results feel intentional rather than random.
Under the hood
The MIDI generation is being built using algorithm based logic, not machine learning. It’s designed to use:
  • Scale aware note selection
  • Octave and range rules created specifically for 808s
  • Rhythm and spacing tailored to tempo and bar length
The patterns will be influenced by my own real world beats and basslines, refined into a fast, lightweight system intended to generate usable ideas quickly.
You’ll be able to regenerate patterns as many times as you like until something clicks, or tweak the MIDI manually once it’s in your DAW.
The goal isn’t to replace creativity, it’s to help you get past the block and into the flow faster.
(The video demonstrates the 808's from Bass Bully Premium. These will also port over to Create Bully).
If you’ve already checked out Bass Bully Premium, you’ll recognise the sound straight away.
Create Bully is being built on the same foundation of hard hitting, mix ready 808s. You can hear examples of this sound in the Bass Bully Premium demo video, which showcases the tone and weight we’re known for.
For Create Bully, we plan to expand even further, pushing the library towards nearly 100 custom 808s. These will range from clean and subby to distorted and aggressive, all designed to sit naturally with the generated MIDI patterns.
Same punch, more variety, smarter workflow.
TECH SPEC:
Create Bully is planned to work on macOS 10.13+ and Windows 10 (64-bit)
VST3 & AU compatibility is planned for Logic Pro X, GarageBand, Ableton Live, Cubase, Pro Tools, FL Studio, Reason, Reaper, Studio One, and more.
The Mac and Windows installer is planned to place files automatically so your DAW can find them
An offline license is planned for easy activation.
We’re NOT starting from zero.
Bass Bully (Free Edition) has been downloaded over 4,000 times via bassbullyvst.com and other platforms.
Platinum selling Music-producer WAKEUPF1LTHY publicly endorsed and collaborated with us on our plugin F1LTHY BULLY, opening Bass Bully VST up to new global markets.
Bass Bully Premium, our first paid plugin, has generated 123 orders in under a year.
As of January 2026, we have 3,249 active subscribers across our platform.
WHO AM I:

Hey, I’m Josh, also known as JFlames.

I’m a producer with nearly 20 years in music, a twin dad, and I work a tech job in the EV charging world during the day. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with Sony Publishing, with my music featured in over 200 TV shows and films, including The Big Bang Theory and EastEnders.

As a producer, I was always chasing hard hitting, industry level 808s, but couldn’t find an affordable plugin that really delivered. That’s where Bass Bully VST was born.

My partner and I built Bass Bully together, quite literally between changing nappies for our one year old twins. We released it for free on January 18th 2025, and it quickly went viral thanks to our AI generated mascot and, more importantly, the sound quality. In under three weeks, we hit over 2000 downloads.
