Scarbee MM-Bass – 7
2 Introduction
The Scarbee MM-Bass was recorded with atwound strings to get the warm and creamy
sound of the 70s disco and funk bass lines, and D.I. to give maximum exibility in the sound
production. It features an extensive set of playing techniques, for example:
• Sustains
• Mutes
• Harmonics
• Hammer-on & pull-off
• Fast grace notes
• Slides (in most any speed you could want)
• Trills
• Buzz-trills
• Cross hammering
• Chords
• Chord slides
• Percussive slides
• Index and middle nger alternation
• Multiple sets of release samples: loose, tighter and tight.
MM-Bass was designed to make it very easy to use all these while playing live. Except for
the trills and cross hammering you can trigger all of the articulations and techniques above
without the need for any key switches.
The full strings of the bass have been sampled in order to reproduce the timbre changes that
occur when you move between low and high frets on the string of a real bass. This results in
a very rich sound with all the natural overtones.
