EFFECTS AND PLUG-INS IN AN OVERVIEW 183
Drum & Bass Machine - Bass section
The bass section produces the right bass lines. Just like in the rhythm section, there are
also two step rows here:
The first row, the "Notes" row, specifies the progress of the notes, i.e. the harmony. Left
clicking on a cell opens a popup window for selecting a note. Right clicking deletes a
cell. Clicking with the right mouse button on an empty cell produces a "Stop" icon. This
symbol behaves the same as in the rhythm section, i.e. playback of the bass line stops
at this position.
The "Octave" row specifies the octave of the bass line. Octave 1 creates a deeper
sound, and octave 3 creates a higher sound. Octave values may only be set, if a note is
also present in the row above. Just like in the rhythm section, the "Clear", "Random
notes", and a red selection field are available in the upper edge of the bass section. The
red selection field may be used to select the bass sound.
Below the step rows there are two faders for altering the sound:
The "Vibrato" controller causes the pitch of the bass tone to "sway". If the fader is all the
way to the right, the sound will fluctuate more, and if it is all the way to the right, then the
pitch won't change at all.
The "Decay" fader specifies how long it should take until the sound has stopped. Set all
the way to the right, the fader causes the sound to dissipate quickly (after approximately
1/4 seconds); all the way to the left, and the sound will reverberate permanently.
LiViD - Little Virtual Drummer
MAGIX LiViD is a great help for creating songs. Only a few details need to be entered for it
to play a complete drum track with intro, verses, refrains, fill-ins, etc. and it provides the
exact structure for the entire song. Brilliant stereo drum samples, played by studio pros
and adjustable via the "Humanize" effect, create a genuine drum feeling and the perfect
sound
Select one of four styles (pop, rock, funk, latin), which are also divided into four substyles
(TYPE), which are further broken down into six song parts per style/substyle (intro, verse,
bridge, chorus, fill-in, outro).
