Master Legato is the main patch for legato, which contains three different legato articulations; each is individually activated depending on the velocity.
Velocities 41-90 – The main range that utilizes the natural legato plucked articulation – your bread and butter. The intervals recorded for this go all the way up to the major 3rd.
Velocities 1-40 – This is your slide in the plucked articulation, which is exactly that; a slide of the string to the target note, which is then plucked (from the minor 3rd up to the octave). At C major 2nd, this legato velocity activates the slide no pluck articulation. You can adjust the speed of these slides with the modulation wheel.
Bonus Beefy Legato: This was more of an experiment; we recorded the C major 2nd legato intervals in a more aggressive/impulsive way. Good for calmer, walking bass lines.
The Performance Sustains patch is a real workhorse; consists of samples taken from carefully selected phrases, which improves tone, consistency and flow.
Body Perc includes a selection of slaps, thuds, sliding frets and room tones – all mapped below the playing range of the upright bass. With this setup, you can turn on both patches at the same time and jam.
