5.8.1 Release Samples
▲
Toggles loose/tight
A release sample is played whenever a note is released. With one
exception: when a note is played legato (overlapping the earlier
note) a release sample is not played for the earlier note. There are
three sets of release samples:
•
loose
•
tight 1
•
tight 2
The loose samples are noisier and adds character to the sound.
Tight 1 is a more tightly played type of release which is less promi-
nent and cleaner. And finally, tight 2 is similar to tight 1 but even
more cleanly played and is the least noisy of them all. In the settings
you can setup how often you want to hear each one of the types.
So which type should one use then? Well, it depends on the style
and what kind of bass player one wants to imitate. The profes-
sional and often hired studio musicians usually have a very fine
dampening technique—so you rarely hear the releases—even when
they are playing fast. These bass players, who you hear on so many
albums, mute the strings with a combination of the left and and
right hand to avoid ringing and other noise from the bass.
However, even they sometimes decide to play a bit more relaxed
and then you will hear more of the release sound. In more rock ori-
ented songs you will play much more relaxed and even appreciate
the raw sound of loose dampening.
In the settings you can specify whether you want all three types of
release or just the tight ones by default. The F0 key switch can then
be used to switch from the default mode to the non-default mode.
