Orange Tree Samples has introduced a new Kontakt Player=powered 5-string electric bass sample library.
Evolution Vision Bass comprises over 30,000 samples with articulations including sustains, palm muted notes, muted notes, natural harmonics, tapping, slapping, alongside special effects like string slaps and divebombs. Legato samples are included for slides, hammer-ons, and pull-offs.
Evolution Vision Bass was sampled using a 5 string electric bass, ideal for metal and heavy rock music. Its multi-scale design, also known as fanned frets, means that the bass’s lower pitched strings have a longer scale length than the higher pitched strings in order to improve the instrument’s tonal clarity and sustain. This is important in the lowest pitches especially, so that the notes sound clear and defined.
In the bass we used for sampling Evolution Vision Bass, the low B string has a 37″ scale length and a 34″ scale length on the high G string. For comparison, most electric basses have a scale length of 34″ or 35″.
The library is on sale for the intro price of $139 USD until August 15th, 2023 (regular $179 USD).
