The Upright

About

The Upright is a bass plugin by Acousticsamples. It was recorded from three microphone perspectives: a pair of overheads, a microphone next to the F-hole, and the pickup. The library contains around 2772 samples, including sustain, release, hammer-ons, pull-offs, slides and slaps. Legato playing connects notes with hammer-on and pull-off samples or slides, and a slap effect and advanced vibrato can be enabled.

What it sounds like

The three microphone perspectives are mixed on the interface, so the sound can be shaped towards more bass, more roundness or more detail and finger noise. Harmonics, ghost notes and string hits are sampled, adding small details to a bass line.
