Steinberg's drive to create an entire virtual band got one step closer today with the addition of the Virtual Bassist. Joining other group members: Groove Agent 2 on drums and Virtual Guitarist on er, guitar, Virtual Bassist completes the trio.
Based on real performances by studio bass players, Virtual Bassist offers a range of bass phrases, grooves and styles and covers musical styles ranging through rock, pop, reggae, metal and hip hop to name but a few.
"Virtual Bassist is probably the first product in the virtual
instrument world to offer a full virtual bass player within DAW
environments that really behaves and sounds like a real bass
player," says Helge Vogt, Steinberg's Product Manager for Virtual
Instruments. "We've concentrated not only on providing the most
dynamic grooves, gorgeous sound quality and astounding realism,
but also on making that instantly accessible to the customer," Vogt
continues.
