Virtual Bassist

Using Virtual Bassist in an AU compatible

application

You can use Virtual Bassist in any AU host application (e.g. Logic).

The Virtual Bassist AU version is installed in the folder “Library/Audio/

Plug-ins/Components” and lets Virtual Bassist work in an AU environ-

ment – without any performance loss or incompatibilities.

For Logic Pro 7 proceed as follows:

Open the Track Mixer and choose the desired Instrument channel.

[Command]-click the I/O field and, in the pop-up menu that appears,

choose Stereo.

In the sub-menu that appears, select AU Instrument, then Steinberg

and then Virtual Bassist.

Virtual Bassist is now loaded as an AU instrument and ready to be

played!

Virtual Bassist stand-alone and ReWire

Virtual Bassist can be used as a stand-alone application, indepen-

dently of any host application. This makes it possible to use Virtual

Bassist in sequencer applications that do not support one of the pro-

vided plug-in formats of Virtual Bassist (i.e. VST, DXi, AU), but allow

for data exchange using ReWire.

ReWire2 is a special protocol for streaming audio and MIDI data be-

tween two computer applications. When using ReWire, the order in

which you launch and quit the two programs is very important, as the

first audio application launched will capture the sound card resources.

Proceed as follows:

First, launch the sequencer application you wish to use (e.g. Ableton

Live, ProTools). If your sequencer supports ReWire, it will provide a

way to assign audio and MIDI channels for the exchange of data. See

the documentation of your host application for details.
