Jayzen Sound Design Releases Acoustic Bass Virtual Instrument

August 20, 2007

Designed for digital musicians on a budget, the Jayzen Acoustic Bass is a sample library, in Soundfont format, that captures that "old time sound" from a large, 1950's era stand-up acoustic bass. It can be used to recreate those Bass sounds heard on Country and Rock albums of the late 1950's, or for modern Acid Jazz inspired tunes.

The main patch of this Virtual Instrument contains over 3 octaves of sampled Acoustic Bass notes. The notes are accurately recorded, with lows that extend deep into the sub frequencies. All notes play out in full when held, (no sustain-looping was used).

There are also 3 bonus patches of slides and special effects. Two patches of slides (one where the notes slide upward shortly after being played, another where the notes slide downward) and a patch of special effects sounds - string scrapes, string slaps, and various bridge hits.

Priced at just under $10, it is perfect for those looking for a pro sound - at a budget price!

Hardware Requirements: Soundfonts can load and play directly on Creative SB Live!, Audigy, EMU APS, or any soundfont-compatible hardware sampler.

General Requirements: Digital Audio Software such as Sonar, Pro Tools, Cubase, etc. running a soundfont-compatible software sampler (sfz, Vsampler, GigaStudio, etc.) or software which is directly compatible with soundfonts such as GarageBand, FL Studio, etc. Check your manual for full compatibility.
