Yes, please deal with it in your DAW host. Send to a mono group or pan both L/R to centre.

I often like to have certain areas of the bass instrument panned. For example using multiple outputs from EZbass and having one area with Low Cut and some distortion slightly panned etc.

Really would not want to be restricted to mono only. 🙂

It is OK thanks.

btw. I am aware of what a bug is. I work in QA testing, hence my detailed report with quite a number of attached dump files.

Just because one person cannot reproduce, does not mean it does not exist as an issue.

Let us see what the developers say now.

Thank you.

As mentioned in my opening post:

This is not a tech support request. I am submitting a bug / issue.

If you could not reproduce this maybe you didn’t follow the steps exactly. However as long as the Toontrack QA see this post, that is fine with me.

Best, P.

I also came across this

I had a good understanding exactly what it is supposed to do.

However, in my case the “similar” MIDI was in another position on the track that was playing back and I wanted to edit in EZbass while later going back to my already saved MIDI track.

We really do need a way to disable this feature if we want to. 🙂

Thanks Christoffer, glad to be of help.

I did try various other things to solve this and as mentioned came to the conclusion that it was related to the key.

Not a big issue for me as I use the MIDI in my DAW (Cubase) and use key commands and controllers to do most of my compositions. I think many folks work this way. I have always worked this way with Superior Drummer 1-3 for example.

The built in Grooves are really useful though, for sure.

 

Thanks again, if I can be of any further assistance please do let me know.

Thanks, I was really just trying to get the issue across to the Toontrack team and to see if anyone else could repro. 🙂

Hi sorry you couldn’t repro this, as mentioned it is not an issue for me but thought your team should see it.

The issue I think is related to what EZ interprets as the key of the song and individual parts. there was no corruption. I tested again from scratch.

I did bring in the file to the standalone version and it was all wrong again but have adjusted it and this time it plays as it should. You can see in the attached file that I had to change the key of the B part at the end. I still do not understand why adjusting dampening would affect the notes themselves. This is surely a bug.

Regarding the note lengths, a few points:

1. This was read from my live guitar audio so the note lengths are pretty much exactly as I wanted them. (I do play guitar, bass, and many other instruments quite competently). 🙂
2. I do understand how the system works and have already done some tutorials on it.
3. I was however trying to dampen them a bit which is how I came across the problem.
4. If you want to see my original piece so you can understand this, have a quick look here, it is quite old now and very short: https://youtu.be/rVyXqDBtluw?t=33

Cheers, P.

Yes, also agreed. I realise that samples of slides would be impractical. Especially as they would be no doubt new ones. The thing is, it would only actually take 2 or 3 samples. As the start and end points can be adjusted to match the notes that start and end the slide.

Other libraries I have, have some slides up, down and then up+down, there aren’t many but they do have the sound of the exact bass you are using. Take Trilogy for example. There are a few slides at the lower end of the keyboard. They are very very useful and they only play for the length of the MIDI note. Even though not necessarily the same “key” as your track they always fit nicely.

But anyway, you are right that the EZbass ones do sound better in the mix, especially after a bit of work. I am now in the habit of saving all my grooves and slides in the EZB Groove library itself so they are easily accessible and editable. 🙂

This was something I noticed from day one tbh. It would be great to get some actual slides sampled, (I guess it is too late now).

Hi Olof,

OK So…. I have a bar offset of 6 bars (Cubase / Nuendo) in all my projects. This enables me to have Bar Zero show up after 5 negative bars. (Timecode starts at zero also for me). The logic here is that I can add short intro and other things before bar 0 (or 1). Many of us do this.

So to reproduce this:

• Set Project Bar offset to something like 5 or 6.
• Open EZBass
• Move Cubase song pointer to zero (see screen shot).
• EZB song pointer moves to Bar 5.
• Move Cubase song pointer to Bar 24, EZB moves to 29.

I hope that makes sense.

Hi Daniel, yes it is possible to draw in some pretty nice legato slides.

Still would be nice to have some actually slide articulations, even if they were using the existing system.

Maybe in the Grooves section they would be under a category “Slides and Accents”

Of course, I have started to populate the library with my own slides now anyway.

🙂

Hi Olof,

I had done a number of things, too quickly to note all in detail, as I am working on a short tutorial and it is difficult to pin down the exact repro.

Please could you let me know how I can send you a short email or PM directly as I have some other info that may be relevant.

My best, P.
