Osterhouse Sounds English Bass

The Osterhouse English Bass is a remarkable collection sampling a 150-year-old upright bass. It offers 5 unique instruments crafted from over 2000 recordings of this charming old bass. The 'Longs' instrument creates expressive long articulations and dramatic swells. 'Clouds' combines pizzicato and col legno for prickly sustained textures. 'Rhythms' helps you make rhythmic ostinatos. 'Percussion' explores the bass's dramatic percussive sounds, including snap pizzicato, col legno, and drum - like sounds from the bass body. 'Effects' is a creative set of sound - design techniques for layering. With over 2000 samples, it also includes MIDI clips for Longs, Percussion, and Rhythms patches.

Using the Osterhouse English Bass is easy. First, choose the instrument you want, like 'Longs' for long, expressive sounds or 'Rhythms' to create repeating patterns. To use the MIDI clips, just import them into your music - making software. When layering sounds, especially with the 'Effects' instrument, start with a light touch and add more as needed. Keep in mind that the samples are high - quality, so make sure your audio settings can handle them well. For maintenance, since this is a digital product, just keep your software and the collection up - to - date. And always backup your project files in case of any issues.
