| Quantum Leap Hardcore Bass XP Upgrade |
Sample CDUPGRADE FROM HARDCORE BASS TO HARDCORE BASS XP (HARDCORE BASS original is HERE)Hardcore Bass is the best sounding, most flexible instrument in its class for modern and classic rock and R&B applications. It’s got the kind of bite and girth you can only get from sampling top-notch instruments through a killer signal path. On top of this, the way instruments are mapped on the MIDI keyboard makes it possible to assemble sequenced tracks that approach the nuance of a live performance. If you can’t hire a real bass player, HCB may be the next best thing. No doubt, EastWest and Quantum Leap have a hit on their hands. - EQ REVIEW ONCE YOUR ORDER IS PLACED, YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT YOUR HARDCORE BASS SERIAL NUMBER FOR VERIFICATION. From Quantum Leap producers Nick Phoenix and Pierre Martin, Hardcore Bass XP is now available as an upgrade for registered owners of the original Hardcore Bass. Hardcore Bass XP includes an additional 4 Gigs of bass instruments. Producer's notes: Hardcore Bass XP is slightly different from the original Hardcore Bass, due to the way it was recorded, and the way it is presented. Hardcore Bass XP is really more of a vintage, broad use, bass library. In addition to the original library we wanted to give you the option of getting a completely authentic, vintage bass sound, as well as a more hi-fi vintage sound. The sound is still the sound of a mic’d cabinet, but this time we used two cabinets. All of the samples are stereo. The right channel is the sound of a 50’s Ampeg rig, mic’d with an RCA 44 ribbon mic into a Manley tube signal path. The left channel is the sound of an 80’s large Ampeg rig mic’d with a Sennheiser 451 dynamic mic into a Neve solid state signal path. The difference in sound between the two signal paths is huge. You can use the library as a stereo bass library, but the intended use is this: Whatever bus that the bass will end up passing through, should be set to mono. If you are using an outboard mixer, you can send the Hardcore Bass XP stereo output into two separate channels, and set them to dual mono (2 channels both panned dead center). If you are mixing inside of an audio program like Logic Audio, the Hardcore Bass XP VSTi will be stereo. You must assign the output to a mono bus, even though the Hardcore Bass VSTi is a stereo instrument. By sending the output to a mono bus, you are sending both sides of the stereo signal to a single, center panned, channel. Now, the pan control (CC10), in Hardcore Bass XP functions as a mixer between the 2 signal paths. The bass will be panned in the center, but the pan will control the tone. More bottom and top end from the left channel and all dirty midrange from the right. Like the original, Hardcore Bass XP is very good at making aggressive bass sounds, but also shines in the softer areas as well. There are fingered as well as picked basses and a really nice fretless. The basses used are:
1961 Fender Jazz Fretless (fingered) The programming and nomenclature is very similar to Hardcore Bass 1. QUICK NOTES: Smooth legato can be achieved simply by using the sustain pedal, and checking to make sure that the program you are playing has it’s polyphony limited to 1. Realistic releases can be attained by loading the release layer program and setting it to the same midi channel as whatever program you are playing. QUANTUM LEAP HARDCORE BASS XP
