Pickup position
The sound spectrum a bass guitar produces depends on the position
of the pick-up. A cool thing about Virtual Bassist is that it allows you
to adjust the position of the pick-up. Moving the slider downwards
from the neutral mid position increases the bite, while moving it up
produces a warmer sound with more bass.
Chord recognition
Virtual Bassist contains an intelligent chord recognition system, it al-
ways plays the correct bassline for the chords it receives from the MIDI
input of your sequencer or keyboard, although for some chord types
the bassline may not significantly change. The MIDI input can consist
of a complete chord or simple one-finger notes—you don’t need to
make any special settings because Virtual Bassist will always know
what to do.
Playing chords
If you play a complete chord in the Pitch Range (for example, the
notes C, F, and G for a Csus chord), Virtual Bassist will automatically
recognize it.
For the best possible chord recognition, all the notes of a chord must
be played. Playing three notes is sufficient for major, minor or sus4
chords, but for other chord types (maj7, 7, 6, dim, mmaj7, m7, m6,
m7-5, sus2 and 7sus4) you need to play all four notes.
