Slap Bass Libraries
I read the other thread about bass samples and would like to know if there are any good Slap Bass libraries out there.. I have NI's Jay Bass which is pretty good, but haven't seen a whole lot in the Slap Bass category.

Probably because the Seinfeld theme basically ruined slap bass for the rest of us...
Jay Bass is kind of known for that style, but check out Ilya Efimov's Retro Bass.

Orange Tree's Cherry Bass has a very good slapped articulation as well as fingered and picked (both sustain and muted) articulations. You and set up velocity switching for the different articulations if you so desire.

I have OT's Rick (very good IMO), but no cherry. Will have to take a look at that Cherry bass.....

Cherry sounds great and is versatile, but its an older interface. The method of loading the articulations is a bit clunky but I have now managed to make Komplet Kontrol presets for each articulation, which is cool.

Glyn, is that a separate software you got with your new keyboard or is it within the Komplete Kontrol software that was given to everyone?

I have OT's Cherry, and NI Jay Bass, both are very good. I don't have these, but Ample Sound has some great sounding ones, too, if interested.

Yeah Dave.....I listened to those Ample Sound demo's and wow!! They do sound great....I'm very inclined to get that (hopefully, when they have a sale). It seems like a very friendly/easy to use interface.
Good call!!!

I had it before the keyboard, I thought it was an addition to Komplete but it looks like you can download it here http://www.native-instruments.com/en/specials/newsletter-download/komplete-kontrol-software/

Thanks for the link Glyn (I should've mentioned that I already had it)......I just didn't know you could make presets in there for 3rd party libraries......but then again, Cherry is Kontakt based. I need to spend more time with KK.

It's funny, many years ago I tried an early release of Ample guitar--the interface was nearly impossible to navigate, even though the sampling was very good, I never pursued it. The developer, in china, was very responsive, however. Since then, I have everything other than Ample Sounds stuff, even though it sounds great. it looks like it's much easier to use now. One of these days I will try them out again. But I haven't really been lacking great basses, between OTS Cherry, Pear Bass (acoustic), Iconic Jaco, and Evolution Rick, as well as NI's Scarbee Jay and Pre basses, I feel I'm pretty well covered. But then again...can one have too many basses? Or any other instruments? i think not.

You can slap a tuna in the can. I knew a guy who used to call his wife Crisco, cuz she was a little fat in the can.

I think you could tune a tuna to a C-shark.

Wow Glyn, that thread has a lot of good info.....I'll really have to make some time to go through KK. Hopefully, the functions are not just used for NI's keyboards.
