JJ MOTOWN BASS FOR KONTAKT!


If you are looking for a nice vintage-vibey bass with the typical growling attacks,
the "James Jamerson MOTOWN BASS" gives you a nice option.
This bass-library has got 10 Round Robbins (alternative samples) on each semitone and velocity layers.
About the guitar and the playing technique;
We used our Vintage 65 Fender, Precision Bass, with foam under the bridge with flat-wound strings and played just with the index finger just like James Jamerson did!
Gear used; ACME Motown D.I. & STUDER A80 Tape Recorder.

Here are the main features:

- JJ MOTOWN BASS.nkm for Kontakt 5.4.3 (48khz/24bit)
- easy to use interface
- controllable velocity hit for a mix-ready sound! Playing hard: note with growling attack / playing soft: smooth tone, good for a slidy tone change.
- easy control of playing sustain bass notes very convincingly: Modwheel for SUSTAIN/black "c" for STOPing sustain with humanized bass noise. That's all!

This enables a live performance to be presented very convincingly.
Above all, the number of RoundRobins and the ease of use of the controller makes this instrument a natural-sounding electric bass with the vintage feel of Motown.

A "Martha" Kontakt Instrument would´ve been a better Deal :/

The GUI is simple, but there is a lot going on under the hood. 10RR is quite a bit and the sustain option with "stop c" bass noise is a nice function for a bass instrument in this price range. Furthermore the quality of the samples is great.
Thanks for your transcendental comment.

Phenomenal bass library at a very affordable price. Such gems make me consider whether I should get Kontakt, even though I hate the whole Native Access online-required installation and activation scheme.

I guess you will have to find your own Martha Reeves then ;-) There are some seriously good singers out there, lots of talent, even though I guess we will not see again the amount and level of talent and skill that were characteristic for the Motown era.
