Virtual Bassist Series Explained | Step-by-Step Guide

[@michaelmos7497]

🍀 Thank you, UJAM! This new UJAM tutorial series is an excellent idea. Everything is presented in a way that is absolutely understandable. It couldn't be better. Not to mention: creating such VST plugins, programming them and making them work, implementing the diverse sounds, all the grooves and a thousand other things - what an extremely laborious job it must all be. ... UJAM has more than earned the worldwide success of its fantastic and very user-friendly plugins. Respect! Respect! Respect! 🍀🍻👍

[@ujamInstruments]

Thanks a million for your kind words Michael, we're flattered! 🤗 We're happy that you find the tutorial series helpful and appreciate the effort behind our plugins, it is indeed a lot of work. Your support means a lot to us! 🍀🍻💕

You're welcome! @Taetro did an amazing job! 💕 🎸

[@marlonmollow1985]

The explained videos are excellent and extremely welcome. I have a completely enhanced understanding of how to use usynth and mellow in addition to a few epiphanies. Thanks, Looking forward the pianist and beatmaker videos.

[@ujamInstruments]

We're happy to hear that the videos have been helpful. That was exactly our intention. Mission accomplished! ☑️ Thanks @Teatro! 🤗

The other thing I like about VB is it’s a great teaching tool for learning on the physical bass🎉

[@ujamInstruments]

Absolutely! VB is fantastic for both creating and learning. Happy to hear it's helping you master the bass! 🎸🎉

The only thing I'd wish for the VB series is actual MIDI Channel Output capabilities. Like allowing me to route the MIDI of Dandy directly into Royal, so I can use the patterns of one with the sound of the other. The drag and drop workaround can be pretty inconvenient in comparison, especially when fills and overlapping patterns / notes are involved. I have other bass VSTs as well, and I'd buy some Virtual Bassist instruments just for their patterns, to route into my other bass instruments - essentially treating the VBs like sequencers. If ujam looked into this, it would be amazing. And if their other instruments followed this, and it worked - I'd probably even look more into ujam's pianos, drums, and guitars just to use as sequencers for my existing collection of piano, drum, and guitar plugins. There are a lot of times when I want to reach for a VB for its patterns but its sound doesn't quite fit, so I ignore it altogether. This would definitely fix that and make them mainstays on most of my projects.

[@ujamInstruments]

Thanks for your detailed feedback! I agree, this would be an awesome feature for the VB series. Here's the good news: we're already looking into this. 😊

[@NeverduskX]

@@ujamInstruments That's awesome! I hope an update comes soon - it'll be super exciting!

[@morizanova]

Nice explanations! Would be another new tutorial series about VGs ?

[@ujamInstruments]

Great question! 👍🏽 And yes, there will be a tutorial about the VGs in the future. 🎸

[@anzatzi]

Well presented. The gain on the app music could have been higher. Thanks!

[@ujamInstruments]

Thanks for the feedback! 🙏🏼 We'll definitely take that into consideration for future videos. Glad you enjoyed the presentation!

[@digitaldroo]

I see that there is a drop-D switch, which is useful for playing notes below the low E. Assuming I didn't miss it in this video, I'm wondering if there are plans to add 5-string basses to the lineup.

[@ujamInstruments]

Great observation! The drop-D switch is indeed a handy feature for those lower notes. As for adding 5-string basses, there are no plans right now, but let's see what the future brings. 😊 🎸

What if I want to utilize the Player mode but I want to end a section with one long sustained bass note? It seems it's not possible to achieve because VB enforces phrases. Is there a way to keep utilizing the Player mode and at the same time, get VB to NOT play one of the phrases but play the actual note without any sort of phrase? I want to end my section with a sustained E, but VB applies the phrase to it and it's not what I need.

[@ujamInstruments]

Hey there, I think this article will guide you how to end a phrase with a sustained note. support.ujam.com/hc/en-us/articles/360017349939-How-to-switch-from-Player-Mode-to-Instrument-via-MIDI

How to print a slide bro I can't figure out

[@ujamInstruments]

You need to be in instrument mode and then the keys from C0 to E0 pre-select different slides that are perfect for “pre-intros”. Hold one of those keys and then play keys in the note range to trigger those slides.

[@marcalbrecht6518]

while the sound is "nice", I would have preferred hearing a (much) wider variety of musical styles. Bom-ba-dong isn't taking you that far. Mixing styles (finger, slap, slide etc) would have been more persuasive (to me). Having to switch between instruments (as the video makes it look like) is not really helping when you are trying to come up with a good base line. Don't take this the wrong way: For a few Euro this is probably a no-think-twice buy for house music producers or YT-background-music. To convince someone who loves ALL music it just takes a (big) bit more ...

[@ujamInstruments]

Thanks for the feedback! We hear you but it's just impossible to showcase the full potential of a complete plugin series with many different musical styles in 27 minutes. 🎸 💕

[@marcalbrecht6518]

@@ujamInstruments I agree, you can't show EVERYTHING. What I was stating was my personal opinion and reason for not being convinced by your video to buy your product. TLDR would be "if I can only make hip-hop-style music with it, I am not interested". Giving a 30-seconds run-down of various musical styles would not have been impossible, I'd claim, but we don't have to discuss that, it is your decision to cater for one style more than for others and I fully appreciate you having a preference! What I also explained was that having to switch between different plugins for different playing styles to me seems counterproductive. You don't have to agree, obviously. You can't suit everyone all the time. To me, even a FREE plugin that only does one thing is too expensive :-) That doesn't sound right, I mean: A bass is such a versatile instrument. Requiring a BUNCH of different plugins just to cover a SINGLE instrument sounds ... out of time.

@@marcalbrecht6518 you could've used the time it took to write your complaint much more productively by utilizing the search bar function built right into KZbin...there you will find a vast array of videos focused on each plugin and their respective musical styles. Thank me later.
