EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

I would like to pick the group's "collective brain " with regards to preferred Electric 
Bass sample libraries. It will be used mostly for Rock, R&B & Country.  I am only 
interested in multilayered samples (not loops or riffs). I currently am using some 
bass sounds that I like, but I am getting a little bored with them.

Any help would be appreciated!

Best Regards,

Scarbee's sounds amazing. There's no EXS version but you can convert 
the Kontakt version using either CDXtract or Translator: 
http://www.scarbee.com/products/jsf/index.php

Of course, Trilogy is also amazing, but it's not going to play in your 
EXS... ;-)

I think Yellow Tools has one that is well regarded....

I second both of these. Trilogy is great, and although the Scarbee Basses 
are still on my shopping list, I've heard a number of demo tracks using the 
Scarbee bass and each time the bass sound stood out as exceptional.

Trilogy (Spectrasonics):

http://www.spectrasonics.net/instruments/trilogy.html

It's not an ordinary sample library but an AU instrument. Its 
tweakability to achieve realism (or, if you prefer, weirdness) is 
astonishing.

Andris,

The Spectrasonic site shows that Trilogy is in MAS, VST, and 
RTAS formats. It doesn't mention AU. Is this a new 
develpoement or are you using a wrapper??


Thanks for the info!

Andris,

Stike the last post. I found out that they have an AU update. I 
checked the demos. and they sound pretty good. Has anyone 
used both Yellow Tools and Trilogy? Can anyone speake to their 
strengths and weknesses? Both demos sound pretty good.

Thanks again,


Curtis

I'm using Trilogy as an AU plug, the updater for this version 1.2.1 can 
be got from the Spectrasonics updates page:

http://www.spectrasonics.net/updates/index.php

Hope this helps

I've uploaded a very simple but extremely useful Fender bass exs:

Hey Pete, just played around with that one. Pretty much amazing how nicely such a simple instrument is doing the job.
I have some simple (yet pretty much larger, 7MB or so) patch of some Musicman bass sitting around here. It's more or less my default
autoload bass, doing the job just fine too, at least IMO. Not as deep as yours, still useful. Maybe I'll post it later on.

Regards,
Sascha

I'd love to hear it Sascha - if you do get around to posting it.

Anyone looking for more J Bass samples could do worse than the free NS J-bass.
It's a ZIP archive which unzips to SF2 format which will import into EXS24.

Murray

What's up with that funny "??SPAM??" addition? Some new Yahoo gimmick?

Will finish a Kontakt version of it first (so I can include them in the same zip file). But hey, it's really nothing special,
recording quality is way less than pristine (made it when I was at my parents place, running the bass straight into the Edirol Hi-Z
input, which is pretty much sub-optimal) and there's no velocity splits or whatsoever... I somewhat like it though.

Yeah, the NS stuff is nice - their NS_Kit is pretty much worth a shot as well.

Cheers,
Sascha

Funny, I've sampled many many basses over the years. This one I keep 
coming back too. It's quite a short sample looped and resampled to fit 
ina small AKAI S1000 RAM reqirements many years ago but it somehow does 
the trick.

Err? It doesn't say anything about EXS instruments at all.

Sorry I forgot to trim the subject line. My ISP uses Spamassassin to screen all
mails and for some reason it gives a high "spam" rating to mails with "Re:" in
the subject - it puts ??SPAM?? at the front of the subject so you can filter
the spam out automatically in your mail client. You need to check your spam
folder for the occasional false positive though.

In the subject, eh?
You should have a chat with your provider...

Peter Ostry

OK, uploaded the Musicman patch:
http://sascha.presetbank.com/

As said, don't expect too much of it...

- Sascha

OK got a chance to try these out - thanks to Sascha and Pete for the bass
samples - I'm sure they'll find a place in a tune or two. 

Some nice programming on your exs patches Sascha - the Okt patch particularly.

I have a rather bulky set of samples of my own Maton fretless with EMGs
recorded DI through a Sansamp Bass Driver. If someone has some webspace and
and FTP site I could upload to I could share those as well.

Murray

I can only offer uploading them for you. We'd have to arrange some mailing for that (not sure how well my mail provider would deal
with larger attachements). In addition I could convert them to Kontakt format.

Feel free to upload them to ftp.soundcentral.com/incoming - I'll put them 
up on www.exs24.org

That goes for anyone wanting to upload sounds; just FTP them up there and 
I'll put them on the appropriate area. Soon there will be a uploading page 
on those sites.

I've done two new patches (new samples that is) of my Musicman. Seem to be working better.

They are in exe format for two reasons:
- They're made with WinRar which gives excellent compression rations.
- Everybody will be able to open them on Windows machines, no need to have WinRar installed.

For Mac people, Stuffit and MacRar will open and extract them fine.

Couldn't see a simple bass library (or notion of it...) on that page.
