We developed the library in collaboration with Rosewood Recording Company, one of Utah’s most respected recording studios. Guy Randle, the company’s owner and engineer, used a lot of analog gear to record the work, including a Neotek analog console, tube preamps, vintage compressors, and other classics. We captured the original direct bass signal, as well as a boosted signal that adds bite and increases richness and sustain.
The samples were performed by seasoned bassist Bill Cushenberry. Originally from Burbank, California, his musical career began at an early age and has taken him around the world. Bill has spent many years touring and recording in the West, including with The Osmonds and Donny & Marie. He plays a variety of bass guitars, but this bass has been his personal favorite for over forty years.
Evolution Roundwound Bass is based on our Evolution engine, which gives you a ton of power: flexible mapping, customizable tone and playback parameters, and a powerful set of effects. The library contains a variety of ready-to-use presets of classic and modern bass tones that fit perfectly into a mix.
- Onboard effects engine for instant access to bass tones
- Adjustable pick position using our proprietary physical modeling technology
- Powerful mapping system that lets you define how articulations are triggered using parameters like velocity ranges, MIDI CCs, latched and non-latched key switches, and more
- 21.9GB of samples (compressed to 9.9GB using the lossless NCW audio format)
- Articulations like sustain, palm mute, mute, and natural harmonics available in both pick and finger modes, plus effects like slap, slide, and more
