back now today I'm going to be tackling the issue of finding a great sounding
bass plugin for rock music styles Ujam they have several virtual instrument
products like virtual guitars virtual drummers and today we're specifically
looking at the virtual bassist line as we check out virtual bassist rowdy and I've
linked to Ujam site and I've also linked to plugin boutique as they
sometimes have sales on the Ujam products so you can check out both of
those links to see the current pricing and to get some more information about
the Ujam products I have virtual bassist rowdy loaded up in tracktion
waveform 10 and I'm using my M audio key station 32 mini to control it you don't
need a MIDI keyboard to use this plugin but it can really help with your
creativity if you have one so let's give a couple of the presets listen
Rowdy has 40 different rock styles with over 450 rock phrases the phrases can be
accessed when you're using the player mode and if you flick the switch over to
instrument mode you can control all the phrasing yourself over on the left side
you have your common phrases there are also some fills for those common phrases
and in the center area here you have style phrases with fills and over on the
right side is where you choose the actual notes that you're going to be
playing now this is all the stuff that you'll use in player mode if you're in
instrument mode you don't need to worry about any of this and now let's look at
how to use player mode first we'll select a preset style
I'll then hold down a key for the phrasing and play some notes ok let's
try out some of the other presets with their specific style phrases
home studio musicians that create a more hard rock style of music should be
pretty happy with the bass guitar sound of Ujams virtual bassist rowdy let me
