Yes, many users are eagerly awaiting the “Install/Update ALL/tick to choose” function in Product Manager. It would greatly streamline the updating process and make managing multiple products much easier.

We know that Toontrack knows how needed this feature is. We’re patiently waiting…

I actually hope they won’t release separate software for which we would need to pay again lol. I would rather count on the future development of EZbass to reach a stage where it is “truly superior” compared to the competition.

Please tell me you wrote that on the 1st of April… I gave up MODO Bass (which also obviously has ALL the notes) to start using EZbass, and I have some projects I will be working on that require notes played on upper frets 🙁

Toontrack, please start recording all new EBX expansions with ALL the notes and allow the choice of strings…

You can load EZbass as VST in DAW, write a track in the Grid Editor and then drop it to your DAW’s MIDI track, then export that track to a MIDI file, and finally load that MIDI file to the other instance of EZbass? I do it without any issues. You can use third party MIDI files in EZbass, means you can export and import thanks to “drag and drop” feature of EZbass and any DAW that supports MIDI tracks. Is this what you’re after?

The long answer is YES. I tried it and it works ok. I use Midi Guitar 2 from Jam Origin (https://www.jamorigin.com/) to translate my guitar/bass input into MIDI notes in realtime and I use MIDI Guitar 2 as MIDI input in EZbass. So you need a third party software to convert your audio input to MIDI notes, that’s it.

Others do it too:

TBH, I don’t think they will update the existing ones, because once the session is recorded, it’s over, and replicating the exact same conditions for recording additional notes would be a huge effort. I’m also grieving a bit over the fact that some of these EBXes are missing articulations. I think all future releases should include slaps, vibratos, pick/finger, etc. ALL OF THEM basically, to keep this instrument consistent. Also, for the ability to swap the sound of the bass in a song without losing all the articulations, as it is now.
Having extra bow notes in Upright would be a super bonus. That’s quite common to play by mixing finger style and bowing. Maybe one day they will record a brand new upright bass with all of the bells and whistles 🙂
