What Ample Bass Upright does
The instrument is organized around a sampled upright bass with neck, body, room mics and DI signals recorded separately. Thirteen articulations cover slap, pop and tap playing, and a slide system is tailored to fretless performance. A polyphonic legato slide engine smooths transitions, and drop tuning down to D1 is supported.
Riffer 4 provides two MIDI views with intelligent fingering, and full MIDI import and export are included. Tab Reader 4 reads Guitar Pro GP3 to GP8 files, and a built-in chain adds three bass amp models, four cabinets, four mic types and an 8-band EQ, compressor, delay and convolution reverb.
Key features
- Sampled upright neck, body and DI. Neck, body, room microphone and DI recordings are kept as separate layers that can be balanced in the mix.
- Articulations and slides. Thirteen articulations, including slap, pop and tap, sit alongside a slide system tailored to fretless performance with polyphonic legato.
- Riffer 4 and chord system. Riffer 4 offers dual MIDI views and string visualization, and a chord system is designed for non-strumming instruments.
- Swing and vibrato. Swing quantization adds groove control, and a single action generates an automatic vibrato curve across all notes.
- Tab and MIDI import. Tab Reader 4 reads Guitar Pro GP3 to GP8 files, and MIDI can be imported and exported for playback.
- Amp, cabinet and effects chain. Three classic bass amp models, four cabinet options and four mic types feed an 8-band EQ, compressor, delay and convolution reverb.
