BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO

8. INSTALLATION

6.3.4 Virtual analog bass synth

SYNTH: This effect gives you a rad three-voice synthie bass

and has many parameters that are pre-configured in 9 variants

and can be selected via TAP and EFFECT. The TAP key can be

used to control the envelope (ADSR) of the synthie sounds

(short tap = short tone, slow tapping = long tone). Additionally,

there is an intelligent envelope follower based on key and

interval, whereas the VCO 1 (Voltage Controlled Oscillator) is

set up for specific intervals, and the BASS V-AMP/BASS

V-AMP PRO produces bass overtones that match the particular

key. The EFFECTS control regulates the ratio between the bass

synthie and the bass signal with all amp and cabinet combinations.

MIDI SYNTH:

The absolute highlight of your BASS V-AMP/

BASS V-AMP PRO is our MIDI SYNTH: With 40 parameters (already

described), it offers you the best possible sound. You get a

virtual analog MIDI synthesizer equipped with powerful features.

It is ideal for hardware and software sequencers, keyboards

and for live applications. By using the EFFECTS control, you can

mix the completely modelled instrument signal (EFFECT min. =

modelled instrument signal only , EFFECT max. = bass synth

only).

We equipped the MIDI synthesizer with a complete reverb

section as an additional feature. Of course, you can access this

section via MIDI.

ROTARY CAB.:

A simulation of a classic organ effect that is

normally achieved with a terribly heavy casing and slowly or

quickly rotating speakers. The physical principle of the Doppler

effect is used to modulate the signal.

7. TUNER

The integrated tuner is activated by pressing the TUNER key.

7.1 Tuning instruments

The chromatic tuner automatically recognizes the frequencies

of all the standard bass notes. When you connect your instrument

to the BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO and strike a string, the

tuner tries to recognize the tone and shows it in the display.

Because the tuner functions chromatically, it can also recognize

semitones. These are shown in the display with a b

accompanying the value.

However, it may be the case that that a played note (shown in

the display as for example a) slightly deviates from the ideal

tone. This will be indicated by lighting up at least one of the four

arrow LEDs at the lower edge of the display. When the note

played lies between the deviations shown by means of the

individual LEDs, two LEDs may light up. If the circular middle

tuner LED lights up, the played note is identical to the note shown

in the display.

7.2 Setting up the a reference tone

To put complete freedom at your disposal when tuning your

instrument, you have the option to change the preset of the

reference tone a. Here is a quick intro to the subject.

The so-called chamber tone a has been continually revised

upwards ever since it was first measured: tuning forks of Bach,

Handel or Mozart were at 415, 420 or 421 Hz (vibrations pro

second).

Nowadays, orchestra set the a with 444 Hz, and the Berlin

Philcharmonic wishes to stay ahead still: their chamber tone a

lies at a full 447 Hz.
