Product Detail
This Waves Bass Slapper is finely tuned to deliver the genuine sound and feel of slap bass. Slapping the bass with your thumb creates an amazing sound that was once hard to sample, but not anymore. It comes with 3,700 multisamples, using round - robin note assignments and articulations to perfectly capture the 70s bass sound made famous by Larry Graham and Bootsy Collins in funk, disco, and pop. You can pick a warm, old - school tone or a bright modern one. You even have the option to choose the neck position for note playing, as the same note sounds different at various positions. It's all about achieving slap bass realism.Features include natural sustain sampling (no looped samples), dynamic control through velocity layer selection, 11 interactive playing positions with automatic string switching, full 5 - string articulation (thumbing, popping, mutes, etc.), 5 different legato modes, 4 amp sim + cabinet options for different tones, pre - amp FX (compressor, phaser, overdrive, triggered wah, chorus), post - amp FX (delay with sync - to - tempo and reverb), adjustable MIDI parameters, and the ability to alter sustain, transpose, and note release sound artifacts. It can be used as a plugin in your DAW or played as a standalone instrument. It's also NKS - ready for NI Maschine and Komplete Kontrol.
Using the Waves Bass Slapper is easy. First, decide if you want to use it as a plugin in your DAW or as a standalone instrument. If you're using it as a plugin, just integrate it into your DAW as you would with other plugins. As a standalone instrument, you can start playing right away. When choosing the sound, you have a wide range of options. Select a warm old - school sound or a bright modern one, and also pick the neck position to get different note sounds. To control the dynamics, adjust the number of velocity layers. You can also use the various pre - amp and post - amp FX to shape your tone. For example, use the compressor to even out the volume or the delay to add some depth. Remember to adjust the MIDI parameters according to your preference. As for maintenance, keep your software up - to - date to ensure the best performance. And when you're not using it, just close the program properly to avoid any issues.
