EZ Bass questions

[Billy Procell]

I am happy to see EZ Bass is finally coming.

I use Ample Sound bass guitar products at the moment. I love the sound of them, and they have gotten quite flexible, and slightly more intuitive over time. That said I am also a big Toontrack user, so I am already interested in EZ bass as I expect stellar sound, a great interface with flexibility, and the ease of use to be greater than other offerings including AmpleSound’s. Plus the inevitable groove midi packs like EZ Drummer/EZ Keys.

Now the questions.

1. I see it comes with great effects, however will there be an option for pure DI? A dry signal with no Amp/Cab/FX, so we can ReAmp it later? This is a big deal breaker for me if it doesn’t have a DI mode.
2. I assume at lauch there will be a couple of expansion packs that cover different kinds of Bass guitars like EZ Keys. Or is it a one size fits all kinda thing for the launch?
3. I also assume that you will be able to set alternate tunings. Will this also include some lower tunings as well? For instance a Low A, or Low G on a 5 string bass?

This is a plugin that has almost a year before launch, but I am already excited about it. I appreciate any info you can provide.

Since we are in development of this product we can’t yet say any more than we have on the Toontrack EZbass page, where the release is revealed. If we promise to have something implemented, but in the end can’t be implemented (which can happen because of many, many reasons) – our customers will be disappointed, and that’s something we don’t want!

We’ll do our best get a functionality that will fulfill our users’ needs, so all feature requests and comments are welcome, and your requests are noted!

Finally found the place to get in direct contact with you developers… I have a huge request…

I am happy to see EZ  Bass is coming.

PLEASE do not only look at EZ Bass when developing it:

1. Dont forget your other plugins. I think an easy exchange of the chord progessions and song parts between EZ Keys and EZ Bass is very important. It does not make sense to set up the chord progressions and “verse”/”Chorus” twice? Same to “Fills” in EZ Drummer. So please make sure, that one can easily drag the chords from Keys to Bass and the other way round… and that also EZ Drummer is not forgotten (busy playing, Fills, …)
2. Please also dont forget EZ Drummer… Bass and drums are strongly connected… Why not suggesting /deriving Bass patterns from the drums?

To be honest: I was quite disappointed, that there is no talk between EZ keys and Drummer.. and even more disappointed that EZ Mix on track 2 does not care about the EZ Mix settings on track 1 – should be easy to avoid Masking and other intereferences, if the whole song is mixed with one single plugin… But no.. PLEASE look at this when creating EZ Bass!!

All the best – cant wait to pre-order 😉

EZBass_Why not original collaborations? Why not a Dirtyloops pack EZKeys/EZBass/Superior Drums 3?

(Personally I would in the future like see bass-options like Sousaphone, Bottleblow, Bass-clarinet to broaden the spectrum in indie and filmmaking genres like Horror…)

Regarding EZBASS, can you tell me what date do you plan to release it?

Thanx!

Is there any updated news and expected release time?

EZ Bass is really the most interesting thing that I look forward to trying!

Kind of vague (IMO).. considering it was originally due out before the end of 4th quarter last year.

Here we are heading into 2nd quarter following year. Still cant get any good information.

Might as well just say “Eventually” at this point.

Collaborate with Bornemark or get inspiration from his excellent Broomstick Bass that is sadly not supported any more

Will EZBass run under Windows 7 (64bit) ?

[Billy Procell]

After watching the video on it posted today it seems like it is very much missing a key feature. A key feature that will keep me from investing in EZ Bass, and quite frankly a lot of other people too.  That is DI out. Are the FX/Amping/EQ all baked in, or are we going to get actual dry tracks out of this for our own ReAmping using stuff like Helix, or EZ Mix?

Hopefully it does have DI, and it just hasn’t been stated/announced yet. I will gladly eat my words if it does. However, if it doesn’t (I hate to say it) but EZ Bass will be a pass for me.

Yes. There is a DI preset for each included bass (modern and vintage).

Oh snap!!!!!!!

Then I will gladly eat my words. (quick what is the emoji for that)

I spoke too soon, and now that I have conformation that it has DI presets…. Oh boy. Looks like I will be having to set some money aside for EZBass, Possible expansions, and Midi packs.

Thank you so much Scott for taking the time out to confirm this with me.
