First test project trying to use DrumGizmo (drumgizmo.org) to play bass samples. Or whatever samples, but bass now.
Tried to avoid that robotic “midi sound”, so I recorded 16 alternate picking samples for each note. Recorded alt picking to a 120bpm metronome, then just used the grid to cut the samples. (Didn't use too much time editing 990 samples, because this is a test project.)
* 8 high velocity samples for each note.
* 2 tapping and 2 pull samples for each note.
* + “Noise” samples on note 20.
Alt picking samples don't have a tail, so those only work well with 120bpm (8th notes), or faster.
Use note velocity to control, what note to play:
1, 35, 65, 95, 127 (about, doesn't have to be that accurate, but close enough to avoid wrong notes)
Samples are mono. So, 1 channel. You may hear it only from one speaker, if you don't send it to another track, or balance somehow. In REAPER, you can just change track width to 0%, and that's it.
Velocity Humanizer: Do not use. You have to control the velocity, to play the right sample.
