Ample Bass P is a virtual bass instrument plugin from Ample Sound, based on a classic Fender Precision Bass. It offers 13 articulations, a legato engine, the Riffer 4 MIDI editor and a built-in amp and FX suite.
Ample Bass P recreates the sound of a classic Fender Precision Bass using 3.60 GB of recorded samples. Its articulation set covers slap, pop and harmonics, and a polyphonic legato and slide engine handles connected melodic lines. Producers can edit parts in Riffer 4 with piano roll or tab views, import and export MIDI, and shape the sound with three amp heads, four cabinets, four mic types and a set of effects. The plugin is available in VST3, VST2, AU, AAX and Standalone formats.
The instrument is based on a Fender Precision Bass and includes 13 articulations, among them slap, pop and harmonics. Articulations are edited without key switches, so technique changes can be placed directly in the MIDI data.
The polyphonic legato and smooth slide engine handles connected notes, and drop tuning is supported down to B0 for heavier low-end parts.
Riffer 4 offers Piano Roll and Tab views with string-aware MIDI editing. MIDI CC and velocity editors use color-coded lanes and curve presets, and one-click vibrato curve generation is available for all notes. A new chord system is designed for non-strumming instruments, and swing quantization adds groove control.
The built-in AMP and FX suite includes three amp heads, four cabinets, four mic types, plus EQ, delay, compressor and reverb. Tab Reader 4 supports Guitar Pro files, and a riff library is included.
