DirectBass is a 5 string bass sample library for NI Kontakt 2.2 that includes all the bass pickups.
The library is intended for use with amp simulators to allow users to create an infinite number of bass sounds. There are 4 Gb of sounds recorded at 24 bit 96 Khz directly to the sound card without any amplifiers and efx.
5 articulations, 5 strings, 3 pickups ( Bridge, Bridge+Neck, Neck ) plus another picked bass were sampled for covering the entire range of bass styles. Each articulation is about 1 Gb and it includes 3 layers and 4 samples for each note in round robin. It means that anytime you press a key it plays four different samples avoiding the typical “machine gun” effect.
Pettinhouse say that all the samples were recorded taking care to capture the entire sustain and natural decay for unmatched realism.
