BBassV Electric Bass [DVD]

Chocolate Audio BBassV Electric Bass [DVD / Kontakt]

A new paradigm in sampled electric basses

The BBassV Blectric Bass comes after several years of R&D at our headquarters and we think it sets a new benchmark in terms of playbility and sound.

This virtual instrument is derived from a Yamaha BB415 5-string electric bass, one of the few "non-classics" instruments which we find has tons of character.

We take care of the hard work, you can just play

The concept behind the BBassV is to make playing a bass line via a MIDI keyboard simple again. Gone are the days when we needed to learn by heart tons of key-switches to craft a convincing track. With all of this left brain data we constantly run the risk of losing creativity and musicality in the process.

Three main articulations

The only three available key-switches allow you to switch on the fly between Fingered (C0 via MIDI), Mute (D0) and Harmonics (E0).

Three playing and programming styles

BBassV sports three main Playback behaviours: Poly, which gives you the chance to easily play polyphonic bass lines; Mono, where each note triggers full sustain samples with intellingent auto-fretting and Legato, which enables our advanced legato and slide engine.

5 Cabinets, up to 8 microphones and up to 7 positions combined.
