It doesn't work at such a low frequency, to down-tune a different sampled note. I am used to working a bit lower than that and accustomed to classical players having hip-shot tuners. The only reason I can't use them in current projects is that they don't go down below E. The aforementioned AcousticSamples makes several great upright libraries. Very usable stuff, and it forms the basis for Kontakt core library patches in some cases but is way beyond that as he only gave them his early free library material to build upon. Pettinhouse has some good libraries for guitar and bass both, and his entire suite is on sale this month for $99 due to his anniversary. Mostly because the phrasing sounds real as opposed to keyboard-triggered.

I compared to everything I have, and Trillian blew them all away. Much to my surprise, the bass guitars in Trillian sound the most realistic and organic of any in my collection (and I own way too many, considering I'm a bassist and therefore rarely use libraries except occasionally during mock-up stages). It was quicker for me to mock it up with MIDI than wait for a time when I can record my bass without disturbing housemates. But that's what some people want.Īs that was the only thing I bought it for, I never tried anything else in it until last weekend, when I needed to quickly do a 2am sanity check on some major rearrangements I had done of a bass part in a song where I now change key and tempo several times. Well, it's all opinions and tastes, but I have over 30 upright bass libraries and Trillian is one of the bottom three on my list, as it sounds like a piezo pickup vs. Percussion samples with round robins (hits with the hand on different parts of the bass).Īdvanced UVI scripting giving you access to a simple yet powerfull interface and advanced features. Harmonics, ghost notes, string hits samples. Three microphone positions (overheads, bass microphones + pickup).Ħ Velocity layers for the sustain and two different takes for each note (2 round robins).Īdvanced Vibrato effect controlled via modulation wheel.
