Growlybass

A sample library of a Squier Jazz bass guitar. The sustained notes have four round robins and four velocity layers. The staccato notes have one velocity layer and five round robins, and their endings are also used for the key release samples. Everything is sampled every minor third, with the low string also sampled tuned down to C#. Finally, there are some pick scrapes with four round robins. All that adds up to 310 24-bit 44.1 kHz WAV samples and a 159 MB download.

Seven different SFZ mappings are included. The samples are recorded direct and processed only with noise reduction, so for a classic bass guitar sound they should be used with an amp simulator. The demo uses the most realistic mapping run through free amp sim and channel strip plugins, followed by the least realistic three-voice mapping run through a sweeping low-pass filter, reverb and compression.
