Quantum Leap Hardcore Bass - DISCONTINUED


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

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF YOU TURNED YOUR BASS AMP TO 11?

From Quantum Leap producers Nick Phoenix and Pierre Martin, HARDCORE BASS includes 2.2 Gigabytes of mix dominating, teeth shattering, hardcore electric bass recorded through massive ampeg bass rigs with the volume turned up to 11!

NOTE: IF YOU HAVE DRUMKIT FROM HELL, HCB IS THE PERFECT COMPANION!

All samples are taken from musicman stingray & lakland 5594 5 string basses using different pick-up and amp settings. Every conceivable articulation of picked and fingered, muted, open, scraped, and mutilated bass - 6,600 Multi-Samples!

Advanced programming features such as keyswitching, release samples, automatic alternation of up and down picking, chromatic slides, legatos, effects and stacato stopping.

NO SAMPLER REQUIRED!

HARDCORE BASS comes as a VIRTUAL INSTRUMENT which includes a high-performance NATIVE INSTRUMENTS interface powered by the efficient KONTAKT audio engine, including Direct-from-Disk*, for Mac and PC (*With freely-downloadable Direct-from-Disk extension).

The audio engine functions as a plug-in instrument, without the need for a sampler.

For the sonically adventureous, many sound shaping tools have been built in to the interface. Powerful multi-mode filters, envelopes, and LFOs give a wealth of creative possibilities. Integrated high-quality reverb, chorus, and delay effects are also provided.

Professional sound quality with advanced 32-bit processing; eight-part multitimbrality and 256 voice polyphony allow for lush arrangements. The clean and intuitive interface never lets the technology get in the way of your creativity. All important instrument parameters can be immediately adjusted without the need to page, scroll, or fumble through a manual.
