Scarbee Black Bass - Amped 4 is a reamped version of the
original Scarbee Black Bass. It's a ready-made amped sound
specially produced for R&B and pop oriented music
productions. The amp used for Amped 4 gives you a fat and
crispy bass sound. Except from the looks and the sound
Amped 4 works exactly like the original D.I. version and
benefits from the same sophisticated programming and script
engine. It features an extensive set of playing techniques
(common to all Black Bass editions). See below.

Black Bass was designed to be very easy to play live.
Almost all articulations can be triggered without any
keyswitches. Eg. legato playing triggers hammer-on and
pull-off, legato playing with sustain pedal pressed
triggers slides, fast legato playing triggers grace notes.

Features

*Real-time playable – with the exception of cross hammering
and trills all of the articulations in the list given
further below can be triggered without the need for any
keyswitches. Eg. Hammer-on & pull-offs are triggered by
legato playing and fast grace notes by fast legato playing.
*A powerful user interface pushing the Kontakt user
interface to its limits: a fretboard display gives an
overview of the playing position and for each string what
fret and articulation (displayed as a unique symbol) that
are used – dynamically updated as you play.
*All four strings sampled.
*Each string is monophonic so new notes abort earlier notes,
giving a perfectly realistic bass.
*Automatic string selection – play and the script selects
the most suitable string for you. Use keyswitches to limit
the string choice or to move the active playing position
(placement of left hand). The automatic string selection is
tailor-made to work well with every articulation.
*Automatic alternation of right hand index and middle finger
samples (can also be controlled using keyswitches).
*Convenient keyswitch mode – a keyswitch affects the
following note or remains active as long as it's pressed –
making it easy to quickly return to the default mode of
operation.
*Slide mode – play a note legato while holding the sustain
pedal pressed to trigger a slide. The velocity will
determine a slide speed anywhere between 60 to 480 bpm.
Slides use real interval transitions sampled in three
different speeds for realism and employ a new technique
invented by Skarbye/Liberg to significantly reduce RAM
usage. Slides are available for every interval up to an
octave down and up from the current note. It's possible to
play multiple slides consecutively to go up and then down.
*Chord mode – makes it possible for notes to be
automatically assigned to the right strings even if the
notes of a chord don't arrive exactly at the same time.
*Control over release samples – random alternation between
more or less tight (how quickly they are dampened) release
samples where the proportion of each can be controlled by
the user. Select a default release type and use a keyswitch
to toggle between the default behaviour and the other type.
*Pickup-hits – randomly inserted where they are most likely
to occur in real-life playing. The user can set the
probability of a pickup-hit to occur.
*The sound of Mr. Scarbee's own fingers.
*EQ and Effect Presets - direct in the instrument user
interface.
*Integrated documentation for all settings – direct in the
instrument user interface.
