What Bass Slapper does
The instrument is built from 3,700 multisamples with round-robin note assignments, and the sustain is sampled naturally without looped samples. Eleven interactive playing positions switch the strings automatically, and the five-string articulation set includes thumbing, popping and mutes. Dynamics are shaped by choosing the number of velocity layers, and five legato modes are available, including one that is always off. The signal path runs through a choice of four amp simulations with cabinet options, followed by pre-amp effects (compressor, phaser, overdrive, triggered wah and chorus) and post-amp effects (delay synced to tempo and reverb).
Key features
- Sampled sustain and velocity layers. Natural sustain is captured from sampled playing rather than looped samples, and the number of velocity layers controls how dynamics respond to playing force.
- Playing positions and articulations. Eleven playing positions switch strings automatically, and the five-string articulation set covers thumbing, popping, mutes and other techniques.
- Legato modes. Five legato modes can be selected, including an option where legato is always off.
- Amp and cabinet tone. Four amp simulations with cabinet options shape the tone, which can be set toward a warm old-school sound, a bright modern sound or a chosen neck position.
- Pre-amp and post-amp effects. Pre-amp effects include a compressor, phaser, overdrive, triggered wah and chorus, and post-amp effects include a delay that syncs to tempo and a reverb.
- MIDI parameter control. MIDI parameters such as velocity curve depth, sustain, transpose and note release artifacts can be adjusted within the instrument.
Compatibility
