This particular ‘keep it simple’ argument from TT is what frustrated me.

It’s incredibly easy to add a keyswitch for “Force A string.”    or “Force B string.”  Every other library has it (at the same pricepoint as EZB might I add).  It doesn’t change the ease of use of the software literally one bit.  Use it if you want, don’t if you don’t.

It’s the only reason why I buy other libraries instead of EZB expansions now.

IMO the TT team just underestimated the need for it, which was a mistake (totally fine), but when challenged on it, came up with this ‘we wanted to keep it easy’ nonsense.

Sorry to kick the dust off an old thread, but what many condescending replies in this thread (unfortunately some from TT as well which was incredibly disappointing to read) fail to grasp is that the sound of different strings playing the same note is incredibly different and musical.  No offense, but if you think there’s no difference in sound you probably haven’t played a bass.   Which is totally fine!  But the OP’s request is incredibly valid and I came here trying to find a solution to what I surely thought was possible, but unfortunately isn’t.

The Toontrack response of “No you don’t need it, we decided, and adding the option would make the software difficult to use” is………..disheartening and very much taints my view of the brand.

Also, try adding just the smallest amount of gain/overdrive/distortion to your bass signal for a rock/metal tune, then tell me you can’t hear the difference the same lick played on the E string vs. the A string.
