Automatic alternation of right hand index and middle finger samples (can also be controlled using keyswitches).The automatic string selection is tailor-made to work well with every articulation. Use keyswitches to limit the string choice or to move the active playing position (placement of left hand).

Automatic string selection – play and the script selects the most suitable string for you.

Each string is monophonic so new notes replace earlier notes, giving a perfectly realistic bass.

All four strings sampled, more than 6000 samples and up to 4 velocity layers to capture the full timbre of the bass.

A powerful user interface that pushes the Kontakt user interface to its limits: a fretboard display gives an overview of the playing position and for each string what fret and articulation (displayed as a unique symbol) that are used & dynamically updated as you play.

Hammer-on & pull-offs are triggered by legato playing and fast grace notes by fast legato playing.

Playable in real time – with the exception of cross hammering and trills all of the articulations in the list given further below can be triggered without the need for any keyswitches.

Furthermore, the script enables you to configure all settings including EQ, load and store FX presets, and access documentation covering every aspect of the instrument directly through the instrument performance view. Under the hood SCARBEE JAY-BASS utilizes sophisticated scripting that automatically takes care of string selection, finger alteration, chord recognition, vibrato, release and much more. The GUI provides more than just a visual aid for string selection, but information on articulations and hand positions that make this a superb tool for learning how to play bass. Recorded through a DI the SCARBEE JAY-BASS is highly adaptable and fits easily in to the mix, with or without additional processing. JAY-BASS is so realistic that you can even slide between chords. In this way JAY-BASS delivers contrary “sweet spots” for a rich and vivid sound that’s highly natural. Utilizing recordings of the full strings of a late 70s Jazz bass, this instrument reproduces the timbre changes that occur when you move between low and high frets on the string of a real bass. True-to-life sound is critical for realistic slapped and fingered bass that’s why SCARBEE JAY-BASS is not just a collection of static sound samples.

With three pick-up positions and a multitude of playing techniques, SCARBEE JAY-BASS has it all when it comes to slapped and fingered bass sounds. Based on the Scarbee Red Bass, it makes extensive use of the advanced scripting features introduced with the SCARBEE PRE-BASS. This addition to the “powered by KONTAKT” range of instruments is an expertly played and sampled late 70s Jazz bass.
