Fills play at a predefined bar position and for a predefined length. If
you want Fills to switch in the same way as normal Parts, select Key
Change Quantize on the Settings page. In this mode Fills will change
according to the quantize setting in the same way as normal Parts.
Remote Keys
Remote Keys are special functions assigned in the Remote Range
that influence the performance of Virtual Bassist. These keys include:
Single Note Mode (C1), Stop (C#1), End (D#1), 4/5 String Mode
(C#2) and Chord/Note Mode (D#2).
Single Note Mode
Single Note Mode is activated by pressing C1 on your MIDI keyboard.
Once Single Note Mode is activated all MIDI keys played in the Pitch
Range will trigger single bass notes allowing you to play your own
bass lines with Virtual Bassist.
Accents
Playing a MIDI note in the Pitch Range with a high velocity (125 and
above) will start the Part with (depending on the Style) either an
eighth or a quarter bass note called Accent. This Accent is handy for
varying your basslines in real time.
Aftertouch Vibrato
Applying aftertouch will automatically produce vibrato in Virtual Bassist.
To set the Vibrato rate click the Steinberg logo on the top right hand
side of the instrument and adjust the Rate knob on the Settings page.
