I just want to make sure that effort was made to insure every note was double checked for accuracy. #1) How accurate is the intonation across the neck on all the basses? I purchased Vir2's Basis at a discount (luckily) and feel very burned by that product, in part because the 'humanize' function is horribly done and not at all adjustable, but more because the intonation is horribly off on nearly every bass, so even if I could put up with or just turn off the humanize function, the product is unusable without having to go back and tune the performance. Thanks for such a quick response - 2 more questions: I hope it's just the demo and not the product. Oddly, I don't know that it's the slap or hammer-on/pull-off/tapping elements that are the tell unfortunately, it seems to be more the basic articulations that give it away.

The MM Bass demos come off as extremely realistic, where the Jay Bass come off a little theme-from-Seinfeld-esque (a little more obviously a midi performance than real) at points. I don't mean to bring up a competing product but I'd love to see at least a couple of demos more in the style of those for the Core Cherry Bass (finger) by Orange Tree Samples - more basic and straight ahead, showing the realism of the articulations in a really straight ahead context.Īlso, I have to say, unfortunately, the Jay Bass demos are somewhat lacking compared to the MM Bass. Are my concerns completely without merit?īTW, it would be nice, along with the more intricate demos, to hear more examples of all the basses in a very straight ahead modern rock context as well (maybe a Jimmy Eat World style track). However, while the sound of the flatwound strings seems to work great in the r&b and disco examples given, I am concerned the sort of farty/duller sound of the lower register of the low E and A string just won't do the trick. #2) I'm mostly doing rock stuff and generally prefer the sound of J-Basses, but to my ears, the MM Bass Instrument sounds a lot more realistic in terms of articulations and it does have the type of mid-range presence that I like. #1) So the Jay Bass samples were recorded 16 bit to start or tracked 24 bit and dithered down? Another dumb question (ok really two dumb questions):
