The Upright is plucked legato upright bass library for Kontakt.
We’d been talking about doing this one for a while, but we weren’t sure it’d properly benefit from the sampling techniques we employed for our legato guitar libraries. Thankfully, we were proven wrong and the end result exceeded our expectations.
For the Master Legato patch, we included natural legato up to a major 3rd, slide-plucks up to an octave and slide no-plucks up to a major 2nd (the latter two with slide speed CC control). Great patch for a variety of settings due to its enhanced expressive capabilities.
The Performance Sustains patch is a real workhorse; comprised of samples all pulled from curated phrases — enhancing the tone, consistency and fluidity.
The Body Perc includes a collection of slaps, thumps, knocks, fret slides and room tone — all of which are mapped below the playable range of the upright bass. With this setup you can arm both patches simultaneously and jam away.

MANUAL
Master Legato: This is the main legato patch which contains three different legato articulations; each individually activated by velocity.
Velocities 41-90 is the primary range which uses the natural plucked legato articulation – your bread and butter. Intervals recorded for this go up to a major 3rd.
Velocities 1-40 is your slide into pluck articulation, which is exactly that; a string slide to the target note which is then plucked (from a minor 3rd up to an octave). Up to a major 2nd, this legato velocity activates the slide no pluck articulation. You can control the speed of these slides with the modwheel.
Bonus Beefy Legato: This was more of an experiment; we captured legato intervals up to a major 2nd in a more aggressive/impulsive way. Good for more attitudinal walking bass lines.
