Can I use Midi from a Synth Bass as midi for EZBass?

[JawnyB]

My friend recently asked me to mix a bunch of his songs, He is using Studio One v6.5. He programmed his bass parts using the Presence 5 bass instrument native to S1. I think it’s cheezy!

What i would like to be able to do is replace the Presence 5 Bass Instrument with EZBass on the Bass tracks.

Would this work?

Hi,

this would absolutely work but bear in mind that if the programming is super-quantised and with no dynamics, just feeding EZbass with that MIDI will not automagically turn it into a dynamic, live-feeling performance. That said, EZbass has the tools to help you easily transform the MIDI into a better performance once you have it on the EZbass Song Track.

Oh that’s great news. Ok then, once I purchase the product how would I do this in Studio One V6.5?

thanks for the quick response!

If you have the MIDI on the Instrument Track in Studio One, you can record it to the EZbass Song Track. Once there, there are tools on the Song Track like Transitions, Transposing, Chords, Edit Play Style; and in the Grid Editor you have Timing and Dynamics apart from accessing the individual notes and articulations to transform the MIDI.

Thanks. I purchased EZBass today with 2 additional packs !

How do I “you can record it to the EZbass Song Track”? Now sure how to do this step? Can you give me details on this step?

I appreciate your help…

Hi,

put the MIDI on the Instrument Track in Studio One, click the Rec button in the EZbass plugin then Play the Studio One Timeline to record into EZbass.

If you have the MIDI as a separate MIDI file, you can Import it to the EZbass Song Track.
