ManyTone Music has announced the release of the Manytone Fretless Bass - a comprehensive sample library of a 4-string fretless precision bass available now in multiple formats.

The extensive soundsets cover a variety of articulations which take advantage of the fretless nature of the instrument. For example, Manytone has sampled the distinctive sound of vibrato as well as various increments and speeds of bends. The articulations included greatly increase the versatility of the Manytone Fretless Bass.

While the smooth bends and vibrato samples may sound especially good in warm ballads, the staccato samples allow the sample library to encompass faster, more upbeat styles of music as well. Also these staccato samples, as well as the sustained tones, were sampled with both index and middle fingers, so the machine-gun effect of repeating notes may be easily avoided.

The Manytone Fretless Bass was sampled completely dry, giving you the flexibility to shape the tone to your taste from a neutral DI tone (Direct Injected).
