OK, got the Ample Bass P Lite II working for me in Eb...
It finally dawned on me that
rcklln said to just grab a tuning key and turn it... d'oh!
So here is what I did in case someone else plays in Eb..... I think it will also go down to D, but haven't tried it.
Insert Ample Bass P Lite synth into Sonar project; Melodyne the section of bass guitar track you want to play in ABP Lite; drag and drop Melodyned audio into ABP Lite synth track; click on the now midi'd clip to highlight, right click and select "transpose"; transpose it up 12; go to ABP Lite VST window and click and turn on tuning pegs to lower to -1 (Eb).
Not sure why the last step works, but it does, and extends the mapping on the VST displayed keyboard down to the Eb black key. I assume it will do the same if you tuned the bass guitar down -2 to D, and allow you to play the D note.
