Hi all,
Does anybody know good basses and guitars soundfonts or others ways to
generate sounds that sound [:-)] like these?
I don't play the guitar/bass but only the piano, so I would like to
simulate those in my compositions..
Somewhere I found a fretless bass soundfont a while back. It had bugs; the top (127)
velocity layer had harmonics instead of bass, which was annoying as hell. I fired up swami
and yanked that crap out of there, extended the top velocity curve up to the top, and all
is well. I use it all the time and occasionally impress bass players with it.
As for acoustic or electric guitar, I've never heard a convincing guitar sample. Nor a
convincing "slap and pop" style bass-- they all end up sounding like
SoundCanvas'es or the Seinfeld theme to me. Maybe there are gigasamples nowadays that
can do it.
