All That Jazz

Studio Upright Bass features recordings of a plucked bass with a variety of jazz playing techniques, implemented for playing on a keyboard. The instrument was recorded in the relatively dry and controlled environment of our second studio, the Silent Stage.

Overview

  • Upright bass with jazz articulations

  • Improved playabilty for fluid, authentic performances

  • Mixer Presets for authentic placement at Vienna Synchron Stage

  • Switch off internal reverb for placement in any virtual acoustic environment

  • The instrument was played by Bernd Konzett, a well-known jazz bassist from the Austrian state of Vorarlberg. Following numerous test recordings, he equipped his 4-string, three-quarter bass with a 113 cm scale with thinner E and A strings, and thicker D and G strings. A short while thereafter, Bernd realized just how painful it can be to record samples for Vienna Symphonic Library. As opposed to a several-hour-long gig at a jazz club, a glissandos recording session can be torturous, leaving the musician with veritable burns on the fingertips. The strings themselves heat up to high temperatures, resulting in regular blistering of the fingertips, even leaving behind a certain smell of burned and blistered skin in the Silent Stage.
