Have you tried what i proposed before?
That was inside polysynth and works perfect.
With the modulation amount (the -100 thing with the green connector) you can keep some keytrack as you wanted.

No, me muddlehead hadn't your note at hand last time I worked with MuLab. I will try this next.
BTW: My patch based on "Clean E-Bass". Have a nice weekend.

Thank you, I already took a look at them. The drumkits are either multi sampler, where a sample is only on one key, or they are MuSampla, then the pitch will vary with key. What patch do you mean?

fluffy_little_something wrote:PS: How about using a Multisample Player where you put that same sound on every note?

That is a another good solution in case AndreasD's solution won't be sufficient. Thank you.

For instance the 909 snare in the factory percussion patches. I suppose its pitch could vary with different notes, still it sounds the same on all keys. No idea why, though.

Care to share when it's ready?
I'm fiddling around with some Fairlight samples and ArtofNoise tracks using the same bass patch. Some extra attack would fit nicely.

Hit! That works really perfect. Thanks a lot to you all.
Now I have to catch some other slap samples. As soon is it ready I will share it with you.
@AndreasD: You are the great modulator ...

Sounds amazing. Will take a look at it too.

Since this thread is already about audio and sampling, where on earth is a sample saved when I pick the option "create new sample from selection"? I just can't find it anymore. I know it was saved somewhere as when I repeat that step, the number 2 is added to prevent overwriting.

It's stored in the session. So wherever you popup the session sample list, it should be in there. You can also check it in Session -> Sample Manager.

fluffy_little_something · Sun Jul 22, 2012 7:21 pm

Ah, I thought it would be stored as a session-independent sample in the library, just like patches...

If you want to save such sample, you can do so via the sample's context menu -> Save As...

As my patch consists of a MuX, a waveform and a sample, is it a good idea to save them in three different folders (mux, waveforms, samples, eventually in subfolders there), or is it convention to save all three files in one (mux) folder for easily sharing them?

MuTools · Post by **MuTools** » Mon Jul 23, 2012 8:50 am

Wrt preset files: Waveforms are always stored within the preset file, you don't have to save them separately. Of course if you want to reuse that waveform, you could store it in your user folder for easy access.

So in fact the question only is about samples i.e. whether or not to embed samples within a preset file. If the sample is only used in a single preset file, then it's simplest to embed it. But if you have a bunch of presets sharing the same sample(s) then it's better to make a "Samples" sub-folder near these preset files and store the samples there because when MUX saves a preset file with samples references to the same folder or a sub-folder of the preset file, it will use relative file links. And then when all is ready you can simply zip the folder with the preset files including that Samples sub-folder and distribute to others as you wish.

Thank you for this explaination. I should take a deeper look at the docs next time.

Sounds like you are investing a lot of time in your slap sound

Sometimes one spends a lot of time and effort to build a nice sound, but as soon as it becomes part of a song, all the fine details are kind of lost and a much simpler sound would suffice

I took one slap note from a nice bass line sample I found and that does the trick

To me DAWs are more like a preliminary workaround for the lack of real musicians. Emulating the dynamics and rhythm of a real bass player is almost impossible in a DAW, especially with styles such as slapping.
