Retrigger mode
With Retrigger mode activated, every time a Part key is played the
Part will begin to play again from the beginning, regardless of the cur-
rent bar position.
When Retrigger Mode is Off, Part changes will be performed playing
the appropriate melodic and rhythmic phrasing of the Part for the cur-
rent position in the bar.
Activating Retrigger mode does only make sense for showcases or a
quick overview of the Parts of a Style. When performing or arranging with
Virtual Bassist, it is strongly recommended to turn Retrigger mode off.
Speed
Virtual Bassist automatically follows the tempo of your project, includ-
ing all tempo changes. The Speed parameter in Virtual Bassist allows
you to change the playback speed to half, normal or double the speed
of your project tempo. This can be useful for example if you happen to
be working on a track that is 80 BPM but are running your host appli-
cation at 160BPM. It might also be quite interesting creatively to have
your bass playing at double or half speed.
The red LEDs under the Speed control indicate the current position in
the bar.
Half = 1/2 Virtual Bassist plays at half the tempo of your project.
Normal = 1 Virtual Bassist plays at the same tempo as your project.
Double = 2 Virtual Bassist plays at double the tempo of your project.
