OT: BAss sample help please

I have Kontakt and 2 of the Scarbee basses. They are great but I have a bunch of old sequesnces from way back when(I started sequencing drums and bass in the late 80's) I am looking for something that gives a very wide variety for palying these back without too much editing. Will Trillian have many samples that might work? I know it's best to redo them with the bass your using. But it is way too much work for this old guy. Orange Tree? I have their CoreCherry bass. It's OK but still lacking in areas. '
Tough question I guess but I am not familiar with any other bass VST's that I can just run my old sequesnces thru. Sure they always need tweakingh
Anyway, thanks guys

    How about running the Scarbee through IK Multimedia's Ampeg SVX?

    best,

    Hey Mike
     
    Don'ty have that. I had tried GR4 ProI have the full version. But it didn't help too much. I did have something from Amplitube I just had to search for it. Found it-Amplitube 2 Live. It does help but still want some other bass sample options. This works on some so thanks

    Trilian from Spectrasonics has something like 60 different basses. Surely something in there would suit your needs.


    All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.

    Yep, Trilian is fantastic, but no matter what you use, you'll likely need to do some tweaking to the MIDI.

    There are really great sounding basses in Trilian, and if you spend some time learning how to really dig in to
    the depths of this instrument, it's Very Very usable.

    It will cost you a bit, there are all flavors of basses, synth basses, and even the Chapman Stick.
    I doubt you'd be dissappointed with Trilian, once you get to really know it you might just want to use it for everything.


    Just be aware, there are lots of velocity layers and articulations available, so it's most likely that you'll really need
    to tweak your MIDI that was programmed for something else.
    It sounds from your post tht you'd quite like to avoid doing that.

    Unfortunately, Trilian is not available as a download so you can't try it out.

    I've got Kontakt and the scarbee basses too, but if I don't want to actually play a real bass for something, Trilian is IT.
    IMHO Trilian is easier to use, more versatile, and you can squeeze literally any flavor sound you want out of it.

    Cheers - Cliff

    I don't remember if Guitar Rig LE that comes with sonar has the Bass Pro amp setting. Using the Scarbee basses and on of  the picked bass settings in GR  as a starting point to give some punch and presence
