Hey Gregjazz

I just logged on to orangetreesamples and purchased this. Just could NOT resist!!! This sampleset has such an awesome sound.

I can't wait to get home and download it and start playing around with it. I REALLY hope you do setup a deal with an upgrade path for slapped and picked or something for us folks who jumped right on this with no hessitation

I can't wait to hear what's coming next. Oh, and those midi loops would be an AMAZING addition as well...hope it happens!

I just finished sampling the slap bass. It's all mapped and playable (very playable, in fact

), I just need to go through all the samples to make sure everything sounds smooth, or if I need to rerecord any notes. After that, I need to tune the samples, and then there's a few more finishing touches. But already I'm really excited about the slap bass.

I think I'll start working on loops, and whenever I need a break from working on this slap bass (and then picked bass after this), I can build up a loop library for free for customers.

Here's what the slapping sounds like already:

Again, all played in through the keyboard, no keyswitches.

Quick question to all of you: how would you like the loop library to be organized? Obviously tempo and key are not so important, as the loops can be transposed and the speed changed. The most important thing is probably genre and tonality, right?

Yeah: definitely genre...

"Tonality"? Like "soft" and "heavy"?

Tonality like minor, major... or more specific if appropriate (i.e. specific modes--there could be some cool phrygian loops for example).

genre, tempo and tempo range, tonality (smooth, hard, melodic, rhythmic)

ah, you mean minor and mayor

!

mellotronaut, looks like you flunked outta theory with me!

Oooh! Minor/Major/Pentatonic/etc would super for choosing the right riff more quickly. Yeah, that's a great idea!

Actually I like your format best... so something like:

Genre - Tempo - Tonality - Mode

For example:

Funk - Slow - Smooth - Minor

Sound good? I'm using relative terms for tempo, since it can be slowed down or sped up. Also, it can be transposed, so key is not an issue.

That would work for me.

Great news!

And we can use EZPlayerPro for transpose and Drag n' Drop!

Just bought it without even hearing the demo. I don't need to ... it's GregJazz!

An official demo of the slap bass: http://www.orangetreesamples.com/audio/ ... -demo1.mp3

(played through the keyboard)

I'm really excited about this! Work on the picked bass starts tomorrow, but right now... sleep.

Man that sounds awesome!!!

Wish I had Kontakt

I do have Garritan GPO with the Kontakt II engine. Is it possible to load these sample into that?
