Ample Sound has announced an update to its collection of virtual bass guitar instruments. Free for all existing users, Ample Bass v4 comes with various new features and improvements.
Additionally, all single products and related bundles are available at a 25% discount until May 18th, 2025, and existing customers can enjoy an additional discount on top of that.
Changes in Ample Bass v4
- Riffer 4: A MIDI editor tailored for plucked string instruments.
- Dual View Modes: Seamless real-time switching between Piano Roll and Guitar Tab views — a first of its kind, offering two perspectives for reviewing and editing the compositions.
- String Visualization System: Strings are now visualized within the Piano Roll, enabling MIDI writing that adheres to authentic plucked instrument techniques — automatically preventing polyphony on the same string and intelligently assigning fingering. The result is MIDI that sounds closer to real performance.
- Full MIDI Import/Export Compatibility: Whether import external MIDI files or export from Riffer to DAW’s MIDI or instrument track, the playback result remains identical and accurate.
- Extensive Riff Library: Hundreds of brand-new bass riffs to spark creativity and accelerate the workflow.
- Intuitive Technique Editing: Easily program fingering, articulation, legato, and expression — no need for cumbersome key switches or complicated MIDI CC programming.
- New MIDI CC and Velocity Editors: View and edit multiple MIDI CC lanes simultaneously with different colors and transparency. One-click CC curve presets allow fast and expressive automation.
- Tab Reader 4: Compatible with Guitar Pro formats from GP3 to GP8. Capable of importing full bass tracks into Riffer with all fingering, articulations, and performance data preserved.
- Ample Sound v4 Engine: Improved audio processing performance and efficiency.
- Brand New 5K UI Design.
- Completely Remade Presets: All presets have been redesigned for a more mature, polished tone. Each preset is paired with a Riffer demo for quick audition and inspiration.
The Ample Bass series instruments for Windows and Mac (VST/VST3, AU, AAX and standalone) are available to purchase at the Ample Sound store and from Best Service.
