Midi Bass

checking out the new Axon- Bass to Midi gear. Here I´ve added E-Piano and String Sounds to the Bass. It´s a lot of fun and a lot of work to make these machines do what you want.

hello man, have you noticed any kind of latency on the lower zone of your bass? thanks

[herrpetermann]

Yes. Thats why I´ve used Midi only for a few months.

I don´t miss it. (but still like the piece I´ve played here)

by the way:

That´s something interresting about youtube,

I made up the song that day. Most of it is improvised anyway. Never played it again. It would be forgotten a long time ago but people are still having strange discussions about it.

It's good to see it tracking from finger-picking. I picked one up a few weeks ago, but have the pickup back-ordered. I've been working on my flat-picking so the Axon can use the pick transient, but prefer to finger-pick. Did you modify your right-hand technique at all to mimic the pick transient? Like use fingernails instead of finger meat?

[herrpetermann]

Hi,

no I wouldn´t change my playing for that. I´ve only had the Axon for a few hours, when I took the Video. I also sold it 2 month later. I spent too much time turning knobs instead of practicing.

The Axon allows you to switch it´s sensitivity between fingering and picking.

Wow you anti-bass fucktards are amazing. It's an instrument. It makes sound.

Who fuck are any of you to tell ppl what they should and shouldn't play on their instruments.

You can be assured that anyone saying solos only belong on piano or guitar is a fuckin loser with no idea about music at all.

Who said anything about work? When I work I stay in the pocket because Im being paid to. And when I want to shred I go looking for hot rods like myself. So far Im not lonely...

nice bass :)

@Forbelicious This guy is an excellent player and I wasn't commenting on his playing. He has skill and a good ear. I was just giving my (unpopular) opinion. Is there any truth to way I say? I don't know.

It all boils down to this : If you like something, that's all that matters and what anyone else thinks should matter much or at all.

[Forbelicious]

@GaryNull No... That's all I have to say.

Hi Peter, it's amazing that you've gone to great lengths to create these informative videos, and half the time all you get it slagged off by a bunch of deluded, unthinking, non musicians. Sometimes you just can't win. btw. I loved you CF gig in Botswana. Must have been great fun.

@WolfsGimpyWrath As far as I'm aware that sounds nothing like wanting to be a guitarist. I don't see how the addition of extra strings makes you want to be anything else, considering the addition of an extra string doesn't change the tonal qualities. You just sound like an ignorant dick who knows nothing about music apart from stereotypes.

[WolfsGimpyWrath]

@GaryNull Really????????? well im a bassist and I picked up bass cause i liked how they sound and plus Dream Theatre's bassist is fucking silly :P, I picked up a 5 string to eliminate the need to use drop tunings when im playing for multiple bands or songs with different tunings as it adds a low B, I've been recently looking at getting a 6-string so that I have an extended range and cover 2 and a half octaves with one hand position, as it adds a high C.

@GaryNull Fucking retard scince when was this ?

[DivineWindOfTheSnow]

@GaryNull

Huh? I play the bass myself. And I know DAMN well the difference. You need to get real. You obviously are no musician. Every instrument has sound. I like the bass because of its sound.

There is no limits in music. Music is a very abstract study. There is no right and wrong answer.

I play guitar and I will openly say I have made some kick ass riffs using the sounds of a bass, playing single notes and chords.

These riffs were then transferred to guitar.

If I didn't also play bass I'd never have those guitar riffs, so both kick ass, basses and guitars.

Only thing I like the sound of better than a bass is a double bass!
