Bass TRBX 304

Requires DrumGizmo v 0.9.21 or later to work!

First test project trying to use DrumGizmo (drumgizmo.org) to play bass samples. Or whatever samples, but bass now.

Tried to avoid that robotic “midi sound”, so I recorded 16 alternate picking samples for each note. Recorded alt picking to a 120bpm metronome, then just used the grid to cut the samples. (Didn't use too much time editing 990 samples, because this is a test project.)

* 8 high velocity samples for each note.

* 2 tapping and 2 pull samples for each note.

* + “Noise” samples on note 20.

Alt picking samples don't have a tail, so those only work well with 120bpm (8th notes), or faster.

• Version 1.0: Download the bass here (Note: 222Mb, compatible with DrumGizmo 0.9.21 and newer)
  
  • md5: b56512e5b9fd26dfe71b5b6d87ab33db

Use note velocity to control, what note to play:

1, 35, 65, 95, 127 (about, doesn't have to be that accurate, but close enough to avoid wrong notes)

• 127 for normal down picking.
• 95 alt pick down
• 65 alt pick up
• 35 tapping
• 1 pull

Samples are mono. So, 1 channel. You may hear it only from one speaker, if you don't send it to another track, or balance somehow. In REAPER, you can just change track width to 0%, and that's it.

Velocity Humanizer: Do not use. You have to control the velocity, to play the right sample.
