#OCTAVER FOR BASS VST FREE#

I have the same problem trying to play keyboard.fingernails get in the way. Another thing is that if you have nicely polished picking hand fingernails ready to use for guitar, your bass playing technique is limited. I'm a guitarist but I've done some tracks using real bass where half way through editing the track (timing things, weird noises, EQing wolf tones etc etc), I end up deciding to use a VSTi anyway. I did some comparisons of it's latency versus that of hardware MIDI pickups in both a Godin piezo system and an hexaphonic add on thing.minor differences, and hard to pick a winner because for example MidiGuitar won on the low notes but the others won on the high notes, but actually irrelevant because with audio to MIDI you have to adjust the MIDI afterwards anyway (quantize, or quantize/humanize, or manually.whatever). If going the audio to MIDI route be careful to reduce any vibrato that you might normally use.it can sound unnatural for typical bass playing (a little is OK).Īpart from real physical bass, Jam Origin's MidiGuitar is the deal. * Note that after pitchbend information has occurred you may need to enter a pitch value of '0' to reset the tuning as the Vsti will read the MIDI according to the last pitch value received. This method seems a bit long winded :D at first but is pretty efficient once familiar with it. You might need to experiment with volume levels feeding the audio-to-MIDI vst for best results. When finished recording the audio, disable Guitar Rig so a clean raw signal is sent to the Folder track, enable the audio-to-MIDI vst on that track and record the playback as MIDI. The other tracks have Guitar Rig -I use two tracks for convenience, it can be done on just one of course. Right click on the Record button and choose 'Record: output' and from the second drop down menu 'Record: output (MIDI)' This makes the Folder track ready to convert audio to MIDI after you've recorded the audio. The Folder track has the audio-to-MIDI converter vst and the bass Vsti, both disabled. The track template I use for this operation is a Folder track and two tracks within it. In fact you can experiment with pitching up the audio any amount, for perhaps better MIDI conversion results whenever bc of course once it's MIDI it can easily be transposed back to wherever you want. When finished recording I run those items through an audio to MIDI converter and record the MIDI that can then be run through a bass Vsti such as Amplebass.Ī couple of things to note: If using tuning lower than standard you can use Reapitch to transpose the audio track an octave higher so the audio-to-MIDI converter can read it better, as higher pitched frequencies are more easily detected. Often I don't know what the bassline is until playing/recording over a couple of looped bars a bunch of times, 'feeling out' the line. There's a preset called '70s Octave Solo' which gives a good enough impression of bass gtr for recording purposes.

For now, this is free for you TBers, but please don't reshare - just send people to this thread or directly to the link below.The free Kontakt Player has the free version of Guitar Rig. Let me know what you think! I welcome any critiques / suggestions, and if I feel they're justified and worth my time, I would try to make improvements and re-release.

I've included some presets that run through the capabilities of the plug-in. Due to the filtering, it will generate a minimum of about 1,235 samples of delay (28ms or 1/36 of a second at 44.1K), but there is delay compensation for mixdown on hosts that support it. While I wouldn't expect this to get as much use as a hardware pedal in gigging or band practice situations, I did try to keep the latency as low as possible. It also lets you tap the audio and view your waveforms at any stage, so you can SEE how it works, and adjust settings accordingly. The phase-multiplier simply flips the phase of the keying signal, thus retaining the original dynamics. Oscillators can be dynamically controlled via either a gate or an envelope-follower (both keyed from the input signal).

Want the 'synth mod' sound from your OC-2, but don't want to (or know how to) actually modify the pedal? This plug-in can do it.Ĭhoose between additive oscillators or a phase-multiplier for another variation in tone. The generated octave square waves (make it sound like a pure sin, full-square, or anywhere in between).ĭC offset switch - to help accurately track rectified or offset signals. The filter cutoff frequencies for both the input keying (adjusting can improve tracking), and It provides a means to adjust what are typically fixed settings - such as:

Its based on the popular Boss OC-2 pedal, but with many more features and customizability far beyond what other octavers offer. In an attempt to achieve a better Boss OC-2, I created this VST plug-in. OC-D2 is an octaver plug-in that generates a signal one and/or two octaves below the original.
