Yep got a email showing some of the new stuff from Toontrack. EZbass will be much like EZkeys and EZdrummer. It will be released Q4 2019. Toontrack EZbass

EZDrummer is an amazing program; the single biggest step up in quality of my demos of any music software purchase I have made since I bought PowerTracks Pro Audio in the 90’s
I have had some instrument purchases and decisions that made big steps; like deciding to learn bass guitar about 12 years ago.
If Toontrack is going to put their brand on this one can almost count on it being great.
Toontracks also sent me an email announcing the upcoming product. I have both ezdrummer, superior drummer and Addictive drums. I like all three for certain things. I just got ezkeys a few weeks ago and it has been a fun program to play with.
When Toontracks sent the email I looked around to see what else existed in a bass program. I downloaded UJAM demo copy of VB Royal. It cost $130 if I wanted to buy it and I did not think it was worth the money.
It will be interesting to see how ezbass works.
What I would like to see is a program that generates bass lines in the style of...
Paul McCartney Flea John Paul Jones Geddy Lee Les Claypool Vicor Wooten John Entwistle Lemmy Kilmister Jaco Pastorius Jack Bruce Roger Waters Bootsy Collins Cliff Burton Charles Mingus John Patitucci
and perhaps a few other bass players!!
There are bass players that can play in many of those styles and could lay down real tracks for PG Music or other software developers.
Phil Capone a guitar player produced a book with a CD of very good examples of blues lines typical of famous players.
Any of this can be done as there are plenty of studio musicians who can do these sort of things.
I find the piano lines in BB are much better that the piano lines in ezkeys. BB is a bit more difficult to work with but produces better results...just my 2 and 1/2 cents worth...lol
At the end of the day I think it could be less problem for me to become a better bass player than to try to get bass lines from software for 90% of the things I want to do. The other 10% can get done by a studio musician. No software I have ever messed with can replace a pro studio musician.
Who knows, perhaps one day we will see a group of musicians playing computers live at the Grammys...lol
Cheers,
Billy
New location, new environment, new music coming soon
Seize the moo-ment If you feel like you’ve herd all these cow puns before, you probably have deja-moo
Best news to come out of Toontrack in a long while

You can take any piano line in BIAB and drop the MIDI into EZkeys, but unlike BIAB you can have many more chords per bar than 4. PG Music and Toontrack both have similar ideas with the addon style packs. And of course this is a never ending source of revenue for the most part.
I am amazed at the software we now have at our disposal to create the quality of music that sounds so good. Brian

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
