The library contains samples from various vintage bass models recorded using different microphone and preamp configurations to provide a wide range of tones. It is intended to be used in mono by sending the stereo output to a mono bus.

The bass models included are: 1961 Fender Jazz Fretless, 1963 Höfner, 1965 Gibson EB-2, 1966 Silvertone, and 1972 Rickenbacker.

The right channel contains samples of an Ampeg rig mic'd with a ribbon microphone, while the left channel contains samples of a larger Ampeg rig mic'd with a dynamic microphone. The pan control mixes the two signal paths to control tone.

QUANTUM LEAP HARDCORE BASS XP

Hardcore Bass XP is slightly different from the original Hardcore Bass, due to the way
it was recorded, and the way it is presented. Hardcore Bass XP is really more of a
vintage, broad use, bass library. In addition to the original library we wanted to give
you the option of getting a completely authentic, vintage bass sound, as well as a
more hi-fi vintage sound. The sound is still the sound of a mic’d cabinet, but this time
we used two cabinets. All of the samples are stereo. The right channel is the sound
of a 50’s Ampeg rig, mic’d with an RCA 44 ribbon mic into a Manley tube signal path.
The left channel is the sound of an 80’s large Ampeg rig mic’d with a Sennheiser 451
dynamic mic into a Neve solid state signal path. The difference in sound between the
two signal paths is huge. You can use the library as a stereo bass library, but the
intended use is this: Whatever bus that the bass will end up passing through, should
be set to mono. If you are using an outboard mixer, you can send the Hardcore Bass
XP stereo output into two separate channels, and set them to dual mono (2 channels
both panned dead center). If you are mixing inside of an audio program like Logic
Audio, the Hardcore Bass XP VSTi will be stereo. You must assign the output to a
mono bus, even though the Hardcore Bass VSTi is a stereo instrument. By sending
the output to a mono bus, you are sending both sides of the stereo signal to a single,
center panned, channel. Now, the pan control (CC10), in Hardcore Bass XP functions
as a mixer between the 2 signal paths. The bass will be panned in the center, but the
pan will control the tone. More bottom and top end from the left channel and all dirty
midrange from the right.

Like the first one, Hardcore Bass XP is very good at making aggressive bass sounds,
but also shines in the softer areas as well. There are fingered as well as picked
basses and a really nice fretless.

The basses used are:

1961 Fender Jazz Fretless (fingered)


1963 Höfner (picked and fingered)
1965 Gibson (picked)
1966 Silvertone (picked and fingered)
1972 Rickenbacker (picked)

The programming and nomenclature is very similar to Hardcore Bass 1.

QUICK NOTES:

Smooth legato can be achieved simply by using the sustain pedal, and checking to
make sure that the program you are playing has it’s polyphony limited to 1. Realistic
releases can be attained by loading the release layer program and setting it to the
same midi channel as whatever program you are playing.
