Jayzen Sound has released the Cremona Electric Bass Guitar sample library in Soundfont and GigaStudio formats.

The Cremona Bass is a fun and playable instrument for musicians, composers, and producers looking for a unique bass sound. It provides a wide range of tones out-of-the-box - everything from smooth dub lines to classic solo lines.

Features:

• The Soundfont version has patches designed for a consistent sound not only throughout the entire patch, but between the other patches in the set. Each patch is designed exactly the same so switching between them is quick and easy.
• The GigaStudio version contains advanced key-switching so you can immediately switch between the tone of fingered or picked notes, on either the rhythm or lead pickup - all in real time (A key-switch affects all the notes that follow it and remains active until a new key-switch is pressed).
• The lowest B-string is contained in its own patch - allowing you to produce a consistent smooth and mellow tone over a large key range.
• Strings are polyphonic, allowing the playing of intervals and chords.
• Designed to be played on a standard 66 note keyboard controller (key-switches and notes all fit within a 5 octave range).
• Recorded DI then post-processed. (Jayzen's processing aims to give you a great sound right away, while still allowing control over the final sound through the use of your own EQ, compression, etc.)
• Contains a separate patch of string harmonics.
• Comes with User Guide and detailed Technical Reference section.

The Soundfont costs $24.95; the GigaStudio version costs $29.95. Audio demos are available.
