Now the bassplayer of my old Band is joining the Project and is trying to replace the Trilian Bass Parts (Hardcore Bass SVT Preset) by playing the Parts "for Real", which is quite difficult. I've been using Trilian (and Omnisphere) now for several months for composing Demos. ![]() I used to program parts, but then bought a bass to aid workflow. ![]() You will gain a perspective by playing bass that you will never get by playing keyboards. Doing this takes time, and as I'm assuming you're a stringed instrument player first, getting familiar with those sound you want on the actual instrument will feel more natural.Įssentially, you will need to learn to be a keyboard player to gain fluency, and not every VSTi uses the same functionality per key.Īnother point is that playing bass is a skill that can be brought to a band, or taught, and there are specific bass guitar grade systems out there. With a bass, you have the notes at your fingertips in a much more tactile way than you do when programming, unless you have spent the time getting familiar with all the different MIDI program changes, keystrokes, controller changes. (On a side note, I think this is more a left/right brain thing. This takes time, and interrupts the creative flow. ![]() For instance, when programming a bass part in Trillian, I would need to change sounds and hunt out the slap sound for the sound that I wanted. ![]() However, when you're programming you write without instrumental embellishment. I used to program bass parts, and they were pretty functional.
