The controller that I used also has a feature called scale mode, which allows you to play in different modes. I used my trust 37 key MIDI controller and it was more than enough keys and it also allowed me to play with some fun options.

Ample Sounds created this plugin to be extremely realistic and while just drawing in the notes or playing the notes on your computer keyboard will work, itвЂ™s not taking advantage of what youвЂ™re offered. I highly recommend using a MIDI controller for this plugin. You can also adjust the tuning heads to your liking if youвЂ™re looking to change things up. This is one of those things that just makes you feel more at home. When you play a note, you can see the bass string move. When you load it up, a beautiful bass guitar is pulled up on your screen.ДЇrom there, everything is straight forward and you able to adjust parameters on the bass guitar as if it were real.

Out of all of the different bass guitar plugin interfaces, I like the AmpleSounds interface the most. The Interface Preset selectionДЄs you see above, the preset selection is a simple drop down tab that allows you to quickly browse different sounds. Each preset gives you something a little bit different and we will get into this later into the review. When I loaded up this plugin, I immediately started writing new songs. Other plugins have come close to emulating a bass guitar, but they usually sound disturbingly thin at times. One of the lightbulb moments that I had with the Ample Bass plugin is that it doesnвЂ™t sound thin like most other bass guitar VSTs IвЂ™ve used. The setup was pretty easy & once everything was installed properly I was able to get to work. The Ample Bass guitar VST is incredibly realistic & I was pleasantly surprised while playing it.ДЇor my setup, I used the Novation 37 key MK3 MIDI controller & Ableton Live. Ample Sounds was created in 2011 by Kane Kang, Shaoduo Xie, and Jie Chen and its goal was to produce the closest virtual sounds to real instruments.
