[NAMM] Best Service Chris Hein Bass

Chris Hein Bass presents 12.7 GB of exceptional bass sounds, some of which feature the powerful tones of a Music Man StingRay electric-bass—both picked and slapped; a LeFay fretless bass as well as the sounds of a unique upright bass. For a playing style that will fit any musical genre, the upright bass is played with three different sets of strings: steel-strings for the classic jazz sound; nylon-strings for a high-fidelity sound and gut-strings for that old-school swing sound of the 40’s.

Chris Hein Bass’ Kontakt 2 Player Audio Engine offers users the opportunity to create realistic bass sounds. The collection supplies users with 112 MIDI-controllable features including the groundbreaking repetition-hotkeys, fall-control, keys-vibrato, bridge/center playing, pickup micro-blending, expression-samples, pinch-harmonics, automatic-mode, slide-mode, chord-mode and more. To incorporate more sound variations to the natural, basic bass instruments, Chris Hein Bass also includes an IK Multimedia Ampeg SVX Uno bass-amp plug-in.

The collection retails for $449.95 and is available in the following formats: PC: VST 2.0, RTAS, and stand-alone; Mac: AU, VST 2.0, RTAS, and stand-alone.
