What Ample Bass Acoustic does
The instrument sits on a sampled Guild B-54 CE, recorded with multi-mic sampling of the body, the room and a DI signal. Thirteen articulations cover slap, tap, pop and harmonics, and a polyphonic legato engine handles natural slide transitions. Drop tuning down to B0 is supported.
Riffer 4 supplies a Piano Roll view and a Tab view with string-aware MIDI editing, and it imports and exports MIDI with accurate playback. Tab Reader 4 reads Guitar Pro 3 to 8 files.
Key features
- Articulations and legato. Thirteen articulations, including slap, tap, pop and harmonics, are combined with a polyphonic legato engine for slides between notes.
- Riffer 4 editing. Piano Roll and Tab views share one MIDI engine, with string-aware editing and full MIDI import and export.
- Virtual bass amp. Three amp heads and four cabinets are modeled, with four mic types per cabinet: U87, C414, MD421 and SM57.
- Onboard effects. An 8-band EQ, a compressor, a delay and a convolution reverb are built in.
- Swing and vibrato. Swing quantization adds groove control, and a one-click generator creates a vibrato curve for all notes.
- Chord system and riffs. A chord system was designed for non-strumming instruments, and a library of acoustic bass MIDI riffs is included.
