How does Virtual Bassist work?
Virtual Bassist doesn’t use single-note samples or synthesis to imitate
reality. The result would be extremely artificial, if you’ve ever tried to
simulate bass playing on a MIDI keyboard you’ll know exactly what
we’re talking about.
Perhaps surprisingly, the Virtual Bassist concept is much simpler. It is
based on a huge library of audio tracks recorded by real living bass
players. This means the results are genuine bass recordings—and not
some MIDI trickery.
Virtual Bassist’s approach makes it possible to choose from these re-
cordings in real-time when you change a chord or any other parame-
ter. Tempo changes are no problem as the bass recordings have been
processed in such a way that enables them to be played at any tempo.
In addition, you can manually manipulate Parts to create your own or
adapt them to fit your music using the Groove Match function. The 13
Parts and 6 Fills available in each Style are all examples of what’s pos-
sible, we’ll take a closer look later.
Just like in real life, Virtual Bassist has its own amplifier and FX pedals
to beef up your sound and at the end of the signal chain is a selection
of speaker cabinets in all popular configurations. The state-of-the-art
Virtual Bassist technology even allows you to select the type and the
position of the microphone in front of your cabinet.
