Waves Introduces Bass Fingers

US Finger-style bass virtual instrument with 14GB of samples 19/06/19

Waves Audio has introduced the Waves Bass Fingers Plugin, an addition to its expanding line of virtual instruments. They say that Bass Fingers is the most detailed and nuanced finger-style bass virtual instrument in existence. A spokesperson told us, "You can lay down authentic and realistic-sounding basslines with the personality of a seasoned bass player—intuitively on your keyboard."

Here's more details in Waves' own words...

It is a common challenge to create realistic sounding MIDI bass lines, since there is more to it than just notes—you want to hear the expressiveness, the touch of the strings hitting the frets, and all the goodness that happens in between the notes to make a bassline sound like a player and not a computer.

Waves’ Bass Fingers translates your MIDI input into basslines full of character and personality, giving you the same mechanics, variations and dynamics that a seasoned bass player creates naturally across the fretboard. Designed, recorded and edited by highly regarded bass player Or Lubianiker (Marty Friedman, Gus G, Bumblefoot), Bass Fingers is an ultra-natural-sounding, high-performance virtual instrument with an extensive range of articulation and control over your sound—from open string sustain, natural legatos, release and decays, to realistic percussive playing, slides, mechanical noises, and other natural playing effects.

Featuring an extensive sample library that contains 14GB of hand-crafted bass samples, Bass Fingers gives you the most extensive and realistic finger-style bass vocabulary possible.
