Bass notes out of range of VST #60471 02/14/10 01:17 PM Band-in-a-Box for Windows

This may not even be something new, I may just not have noticed it all this time. Some of the bass notes being played in some of the styles seem to be out of the range of my VST bass instrument (kontakt standard library). It is also out of the range of a normal bass guitar. An example style is the BB blues shuffle. So when the midi file plays a note that is out of range I just hear silence ( I see the key pushed in kontakt and its out of the shaded range). Anyone have an idea how I could fix this? Thanks!

It is thus written one octave higher than its actual pitch. This is so there won't be "all ledger lines" in the part, making for a hard read. Some synths do not respond to that -- they respond to the actual Concert pitches. They are not conventional, then. Maybe that's the problem you are having. Easy enough to find out, by transposing the bass part down one octave and see if it plays okay sounding with that synth then. --Mac PGmusic FAQs, Tutorials and Updates! click here You must be Audiominds. www.audiominds.com

If it was me I'd put the bass back at -1 and shift the Kontakt. This way if you should use some other synth it'll still sound right.
