Hi,

 

First of all, thank you toontrack’s team for this new great tool. I’m the happy owner of ezdrummer 2 and superior drummer 3 for a while now and EZbass is a great complement.

And it could be almost perfect for me if :

• we could have the global midi range larger! for instance, the range of a five strings bass, 24 frets,  tuned in drop A would be perfect for my needs  😉
• we had bends in the articulations : I know there is a pitch bend in another menu but it’s not really user-friendly and seems limited (cannot go upper than a whole tone, the bend is linear, not “curvable”…). The way the bends are well done in guitar pro could be a really nice feature in EZBass in my opinion but this would mean that toontrack had to sample all the bends techniques for each notes… so if we could just have the possibility to enlarge the pitch bend range, it would be ok.

 

So I hope we’ll have this kind of updates to improve this really good software very soon

And I can’t wait to see EZbass expansions with other iconic bass models sampled!

Keep on the good word and thanks again toontrack

Can you explain this – do you want to be able to play lower than the current lowest note (A)? All the notes in the included 5 string basses can be played on a keyboard.

I’ll take a note of this and see if it can be done.

Thanks for the input!

I think the current lowest note is actually a B… So yep I would like to play a A.

and to the other side, at the bottom of the neck, I wish I could play a E (24th fret) as the highest note instead of a C# (21st fret).

I doubt we get an update to permit that range increase since the actual sampled instruments for the core version are 5 strings 21 frets basses in standard tuning  but maybe in future ezbass expansions, new models will be available (rickenbacker and fender precision 24 frets for instance and ibanez 5 strings tuned in A?)

ARA implementation would be nice when audio to midi is needed… just take a look at how Melodyne is integrated to Logic.

EZbass version: 1.0.3

Yes, that technology works fine for its purposes – but not as straightforward to implement for our needs unfortunately. We try to keep an eye on all technologies that can make it easier for our customers, and we’ll see what the future can bring!
