Is there a VB SLAP Reason Rack Extension?

Please note that we didn't create a Rack Extension for Virtual Bassist SLAP, so the existing RE version of Virtual Bassist doesn't include this particular plug-in.

How can I change the velocity of the MIDI notes in the best way? 

The Virtual Bassist has a velocity sensitivity, but you might want to turn down the compressor to 0%.

How can I turn off the slides?

The keys from C0 to E0 will let you select different types of slides. For turning them off just select ''Off'' next to ''Legato'' mode or in real time by using the keys C#0 (off) and F#0 (on).

Are there any known issues?

• Some style phrases can be influenced by the Finger/Slap toggle switch of the common phrases. This occurs in Player Mode (also when using MIDI drag&drop).

  • Please make sure to use the MIDI drag&drop feature for the phrases and also the Instrument Mode for 100% accuracy.

• Dragging a phrase stops latched playback

• Finisher: Browsing the modes sometimes results in slightly audible crackling noises
• Automation of style phrases does not get displayed correctly on the GUI

• Pressing and holding C4 is causing E3 to G3 to be silent

• Instrument Mode: Playing F4 (outside of the Play Range) is causing the plugin to drop out.
  ➜ Workaround: Switch to Player Mode and then back to Instrument Mode.

• Pro Tools: unmapped (and unwanted) parameters listed

• Pro Tools: many dragged phrases won’t play as expected in Player Mode

• Logic: some phrases exceed pattern length when using the MIDI drag and drop feature
