But i dough any average listener would hear the difference between a good sampled wurli and this one or even a real one. I tried their wurli and it seems to be very good.

Plus ram is not really a problem anymore. At least good enough to make good music and that's really all that matters.Īnd yes it uses less space on a hard drive and uses less ram but it uses more CPU from what i hear. I can imagine so many sample libraries gathering a thick layer of dust when Mokafix releases his string based instruments.Īnd I for one will NEVER EVER EVER buy another sample library trying to be something that it's not.īenDon't you think you might be exaggerating here? I know the potential of sample modeling is very real but one can get very convincing results with samples as it is. His string based instruments will take the virtual instrument world by storm. All of them are of extremely high quality. He's also done a virtual Pianet (GlueReeds) and of course, various stompbox/distortion FX. Don't believe me? Check out his BlueReeds virtual Wurlitzer E-Piano and let me know if you can tell the difference between BlueReeds and a real Wurlitzer. Mokafix uses comprehensive and very detailed physical modeling. And of course, even the best samples fail because, samples.įorget samples if you want realism, because you are not, you are just not going to get it with samples. It doesn't seem to matter, in fact, the best samples often take so much RAM that it is really becoming stupid to even bother with them. This is a problem inherent to all samples, even the very very very very very good ones. Wait for Mokafix to release his Dark Lady bass guitar, and you will be able to make something that actually sounds like a bass guitar performance instead of a bunch of samples strung together in a vain attempt to sound like a live performance.

Thanks for your time and effort!īut don't pretty much all sample libraries sound very midi and unnatural?

I apologize for these questions - they are questions I would hope wouldn't have to be asked, but after buying Basis and feeling so burned, I just wanna make absolutely sure I'm not wasting money again. #2) Are the samples edited correctly, both in terms of being cut at zero crossing points to avoid clicks and pops, and where the sample actually starts (some sample sets have a bit to much silence at the beginning which makes for annoying little timing issues)? Does the end user have the ability to fine tune the anchor points if they find certain samples trigger a tad late? I just want to make sure that effort was made to insure every note was double checked for accuracy. #1) How accurate is the intonation across the neck on all the basses? I purchased Vir2's Basis at a discount (luckily) and feel very burned by that product, in part because the "humanize" function is horribly done and not at all adjustable, but more because the intonation is horribly off on nearly every bass, so even if I could put up with or just turn off the humanize function, the product is unusable without having to go back and tune the performance. Thanks for such a quick response - 2 more questions: I hope it's just the demo and not the product. Oddly, I don't know that it's the slap or hammer-on/pull-off/tapping elements that are the tell unfortunately, it seems to be more the basic articulations that give it away. The MM Bass demos come off as extremely realistic, where the Jay Bass come off a little theme-from-Seinfeld-esque (a little more obviously a midi performance than real) at points. I don't mean to bring up a competing product but I'd love to see at least a couple of demos more in the style of those for the Core Cherry Bass (finger) by Orange Tree Samples - more basic and straight ahead, showing the realism of the articulations in a really straight ahead context.Īlso, I have to say, unfortunately, the Jay Bass demos are somewhat lacking compared to the MM Bass. Are my concerns completely without merit?īTW, it would be nice, along with the more intricate demos, to hear more examples of all the basses in a very straight ahead modern rock context as well (maybe a Jimmy Eat World style track). However, while the sound of the flatwound strings seems to work great in the r&b and disco examples given, I am concerned the sort of farty/duller sound of the lower register of the low E and A string just won't do the trick. #2) I'm mostly doing rock stuff and generally prefer the sound of J-Basses, but to my ears, the MM Bass Instrument sounds a lot more realistic in terms of articulations and it does have the type of mid-range presence that I like. #1) So the Jay Bass samples were recorded 16 bit to start or tracked 24 bit and dithered down? Another dumb question (ok really two dumb questions):
