Glyn Barnes Phoenix +1 for Kontakt 4 and Scarbee basses, though I'm still trying to figure out how to use the articulations with my too-small keyboard controller and/or guitar synth (any tips from above posters who use it appreciated!). There are two methods for controling the articulation, one is the playing style and the other key switches. Key switches will take at least an Octave off your keyboard so anything less than 61 keys and you are limited. Velocity is critical as velocity switching is used to switch between harms, mutes and sustained notes. How well you can master this depend on you keyboard and your skill, reliably playing notes with a midi velocity <10 for harms is particularly challenging for me, even in step mode. Playing with the velocity profiles on your keyboard (if it has them) may help but I usually need a midi edit session to clean it up. The other thing you need is a sustain pedel to trigger the slides in Pre Bass. (this is one of my favourite features) Yep, that's my problem. 37-key keyboard. Been trying to figure a way around it. It would be great if I could map the articulations onto switches on my FCB1010. I'm going to post on the Kontakt forum about it.

Wonder why the OP hasn't replied to any of the posts? He now knows that "everyone" doesn't use the same thing...Why doesn't he have specific questions?

VST - IK Multimedia Ampeg SVX, absolutely brilliant. With a good bass/player you can home in on some really professional sounds. VSTi - I'm not very good with keys so getting these to sound convincing was difficult for me. But using the DimPro real basses under a real bass line has helped. Also the basses on Chris Heins Bass are very good.

Yeah, I'm not very good with keys either; I prefer to play bass lines in on my GR-33 controlling VSTi.

papa2005 I would not DL anything from a site that has "torrents" in the address... I've never heard the term torrents so I had to google it....so it's a peer to peer thing like Limewire? Would you not do it because it could be piracy/unethical or because something could have a virus or...? If it's either of those, Yellow Tools (which I can only assume own the sampler and contents) is stating you have to have one of them to be able to download them. I guess what I'm trying to ask is why would you not download anything that uses a torrent? You're probably right and my first suspicion was right also (too good to be true). Thanks Papa, Randy

Probably all of the above...A year or so ago I downloaded the Yellow Tools synth...1) Took forever to download all the samples; 2) Kept trying to install Pace software; 3) I didn't find anything spectactlur about it... Can't remember where I DL'd it from but I'm certain it wasn't a "torrent" site otherwise I wouldn't have...

MusicLine Another Broomstick Bass fan here. It's so musical & inspiring. Go and try fully functional demo (no expiry) Cheers, George Solo http://musicline.ca/ http://georgesolo.com/ The website seems to read like No Vista, so I am assuming "no" Win 7 x64?

g_randybrown Hey twisted, I just checked this out at http://www.kickasstorrents.com/yellow-tools-independence-free-2-5-vst-vsti-audio-sampler-t3241631.html I must be missing something, is this a free sampler that will work well within Sonar with no limitations...surely there's a catch somewhere? Thanks, Randy Do not download it from that link, Go to the Yellow Tools site and get it from there. It works well with Sonar and is available as both 64 and 32 bit. The catch is it's just a player, you don't get the full capabilities of Independence. You get a pretty good range of sounds bundled with it And to keep relavent to the topic in hand, there are a range of download instruments you can but for around 30-40 euros that can be used with it, inculding several bass guitars and acoustic basses.

Phoenix Yep, that's my problem. 37-key keyboard. Been trying to figure a way around it. It would be great if I could map the articulations onto switches on my FCB1010. I'm going to post on the Kontakt forum about it. 37 notes! thats short!!. I am not a great keyboard player, I tend to record left and right hand parts seperatly but I am still finding a 61 note board restricting, particularly if you have key switches. I have to transpose the board down to get at the switch keys, then I am missing the upper octaves on some sounds Putting the Key switches onto a pedel board as you suggest could be a good solution if it can be configured to do that. I want to get a new controller and A-PRO 800 is on the short list, but I an still worried about the 61 keys. I am thinking key switches could be assigned to the pads?
