StrayWorx has released Bad Bassist, a new bass guitar sound library for Kontakt.

In normal mode, it's a simple and easy to use Ibanez SRX305 bass guitar instrument recorded through a Powerstate PBT100+BB15 combo. Switch it to Bad Bassist mode and experience a different way of bass playing technique: unique sound with bad and randomly played notes.

Details:

• E2-E4, sustained/muted.
• C2-C#2, slaps/mutes.
• E1-A1, down-slides.
• C1, string noises.
• 4 round robin in normal mode.
• 6 round robin in Bad Bassist mode.
• Kontakt 4.2+ (full version) required.
• 90 MB (using Kontakt's lossless compressed format).

Tips & tricks:

• Use the Random knob (or mod wheel) to enable random bad notes during playing. Tweak it for more or less bad notes.
• Noise randomize knob is good for adding extra string noises.
• Noise volume knob controls the loudness of additional noises.
• Muted notes volume knob sets the loudness of muted notes (Note Off events).

Price: $11.
