Pick and Palm-Mute articulations have a special Downstroke Mode to imitate steady bass lines so common to rock music. So with just one touch of a keyswitch you can choose any. These three playing techniques are combined in one patch. Multiple FX and Noises (strokes, fret noises, releases).Repetition keys for X-notes and last articulations.Two variants of Slide-ups, Flageolets and X-notes (with two modes of performance).Auto and Manual String and Position Selection.Thumb and Pop slap articulations with Auto and Manual selection.Different natural legato for Pick, Slap and Palm-Mute articulations.Pick, Slap and Palm-Mute articulations in one patch.Up to 14 velocity layers, 22 frets on each string with round-robin algorithm.Plus a special keyswitch now provides resetting of the round robin sequence to the initial position. Also there was added a retrospective round-robin algorithm, triggering each time a new sample avoiding “machine-gun effect” even if you keep pressing a key at the same velocity. However Ilya Efimov Rock Bass introduces some new functions – like Downstroke mode, allowing playing steady bass parts so usual in hard rock music. Customary Open String mode, Chord Detection mode and X-note mode are also there, as well as Repetition keys and FX noises controls. And as before three playing techniques are included in a single patch - pick, slap, palm-mute and additional articulations. Like all our previous bass libraries this one is easy and intuitive to use due to a sophisticated algorithm, which automatically selects strings, changes left-hand position on the fretboard and turns on/off legato in real time. We know that some our customers have been longing for such kind of sampled bass. Due to such distinct and balanced tone many famous rock and pop musicians made they choice in favor Sadowsky instruments. Not to mention that Sadowsky company itself is a respected bass guitars manufacturer, moreover the particular instrument used for sampling had strong low-end punch accompanying with great tightness. It captures the sound of a hi-end Sadowsky NYC 5 string bass played with a pick (plectrum). Ilya Efimov Rock Bass is a unique addition to the line of our bass libraries.
