The first test
At this point, you’re probably itching to get your hands on Virtual
Bassist, so let’s get started:
1.
Activate Virtual Bassist (as described in the previous section). Virtual
Bassist automatically loads a showcase Style. The “Latch” button on
the Play page will be activated.
2.
Press the D1 key on your MIDI keyboard (to select a Part) and play a
chord or note in the two octaves between C3 and B4 (the Pitch
Range). Virtual Bassist will play a basic groove. Because the “Latch”
button is activated, playback will continue when you release the key(s).
3.
Pressing white keys between D1 and B2 (the Remote Range) on your
MIDI keyboard will select Parts, increasing in complexity from left to
right.
4.
Pressing black keys (F#, G#, Bb) in the Remote Range will trigger
Fills.
After playing a Fill Virtual Bassist will return to playing the last Part chosen.
5.
To stop Virtual Bassist immediately press C#1 or press D#1 to end
playback with a sustained note, lasting one bar.
The MIDI LED in the Virtual Bassist window lights up when Virtual Bass-
ist receives MIDI information.
