And yes I know it would’ve made sense to do a funk track and I really need a fretless for Continuum, but I just love this song. Note: I selected a nice effect for this bass sound.
That’s quite a bunch of options, but they are all pretty easy to understand and you can simply turn some knobs to find out what happens if you’re not sure.įor a quick demo I tossed a Midi of Continuum by Jaco Pastorius (sequenced and re-arranged by Reinhard Bock) in Ableton Live to see how the bass sounds without doing any tweaking.
Help is available directly from the Kontakt performance view (documentation for articulations, playing techniques, etc.). Controllers allows for setting MIDI #CC to control playing position, slide mode, release (loose or tight), sustain, and pickup hit chance. Noise Levels can be set individually for release samples, fret noises, pickup hits and clap. Alternation between fingers can be manipulated by setting the amount of time that is considered to be fast playing (triggering automatic alternation). Normally you would like to keep the sloppiness at a low value since it introduces some latency. The sloppiness controls set the amount of time (in ms) for notes to be played apart for the script to still be able to recognize them as a chord. Chords can be detected by a KSP script. A decay parameter sets the volume envelope for the release (the rate at which a release note becomes silent). 
Release samples can be selected (loose, tight 1 & 2) and some controls are available to determine the chance of certain release samples to be triggered. A knob sets the change in percentage that a pickup noise will occur (or not). Pickup Hit can be on or off by default and triggered with a key switch. Vibrato intensity is controlled by MIDI CC#1 or Aftertouch. Vibrato speed and the volume of fret noise it causes is adjustable. EQ includes controls for bass, middle and treble. You can modify presets and save your own. FX Presets includes a number of factory effect presets like Old School, New Wave, and Spacy, to spice up your sound. Pop & Country, Soul & Funk, and Rock & Retro each use different automatic string selection and playing positions (which can be overridden manually). Player Profile allows you to set your playing style. I will list a brief description of the various panels available. MM-Bass can automatically pick the string which would make most sense - including articulations - in order to get a realistic performance. When playing certain notes a bass player can choose which strings to use. MM-Bass uses some powerful KSP scripts (by KSP guru Nils Liberg) for detailed control over many things, including automatic string selection. It is one thing to have a sample library of quality bass guitar samples and another to use those samples to produce the sound an actual bass player would. Playing bass like you know what you’re doing The library needs to be activated in the NI Service Center, which you can launch manually or from the Kontakt (Player) library box panel.

The installation includes a well written manual which is well worth a read since it explains all MM-Bass articulations, playing techniques, etc.
