Swing
Swing allows you to adjust the feel of Virtual Bassist’s performance.
Technically speaking, Swing allows you to move the offbeats of a bar
to an earlier or later position. Turning Swing to the left moves the off-
beats back, turning it to the right moves them forward. Virtual Bassist
will play exact triplets when setting Swing to -100% or +100%.
The Swing controls on the Play page and the Groove Match page are ac-
tually the same. Swing controls the depth of the Micro Groove para-
meters found on the Groove Match page, see page 40.
Variance
Virtual Bassist’s timing and feel are always perfect and reliable. How-
ever, given that these two words are rarely used to describe the timing
of a musician, Virtual Bassist also allows you to adjust how accurately
the player will play. Variance adds timing and sound variations so
every note sounds slightly different.
A setting of 0% produces a very accurate performance, while at a value
of 100% the performance is loose and uneven.
