Collection of six exceptional basses

"The instrument sounds themselves are very good and, if you’re willing to put the time in, Chris Hein Bass can yield ultra-realistic results." - Computer Music (Rating - 8/10)

It took more than a year for Chris Hein to produce this outstanding collection of six exceptional bass instruments, all sampled with careful attention to detail. A Musicman Stingray electric-bass picked & slapped, a LeFay fretless bass and a unique upright bass with three different sets of strings: steel-strings (the classic jazz sound), nylon-strings (the high-fidelity sound) and gut-strings (the old-school swing sound of the 40s).

The script programming in Kontakt 2 allows sound designing that exceeds even the possibilities of real basses. For the first time all the nuances of bass playing techniques are implemented in a sampled instrument. This virtual instrument offers 112 MIDI controllable features including groundbreaking news like repetition-hotkeys, keys-vibrato, fall-control, bridge/center playing, pickup micro-blending, expression-samples, pinch-harmonics, automatic-mode, slide-mode, chord-mode and much more.

The included IK Multimedia Ampeg SVX Uno (virtual bass-amp) adds more sound variations to the natural, basic bass instruments.
