Steinberg Virtual Bassist Plug-In
No longer available at zZounds
Outstanding Sound-Shaping Features. Absolutely Realistic.
Overview
Using dynamic phrases based on real performances by top studio bass players in 30 styles, Virtual Bassist covers almost every conceivable music genre, delivering top class bass sounds and phrases for rock, pop, reggae, metal and hip hop to name just a few. Playing Virtual Bassist is just as easy as playing the keys on your MIDI keyboard: each style contains 2 octaves of phrases of varying complexity and fills.
The innovative GrooveMatch Technology allows users to mould the Virtual Bassist bass line performance to existing drum grooves either by flexibly editing notes or shifting the overall groove of any phrase. Owners of Groove Agent, Virtual Guitarist or Virtual Guitarist Electric Edition will find pre-matched grooves for phrases and patterns in those instruments, creating a tightly integrated drum, bass and guitar rhythm section.
Virtual Bassist comes with a full range of outstanding sound-shaping features, including six high-quality virtual stomp box effects optimized for bass guitar, a choice of tube or solid state amp head, bass cabinets and microphones as well as mic positioning options to build ideal bass guitar parts. The included effects can also be used on any other audio channel in music production environments such as Steinberg's Cubase SX3.

"Great sound but how do you record a track with it?????"
I'm not satisfied.
Sound
Sounds great
Features
Lots of cool features
Ease of Use
Easy to set up and use
Quality
Can't give it high marks on quality. It's only got one octave.
Value
I'd give this about a 5 because of the obvious limitations having only a one octave range. And how the hell do you record a track with this thing????? Haven't gotten it to output audio to track.
Manufacturer Support
Support sucks
The Wow Factor
Just isnt't fully functional.
