[Groove3 / Eli Krantzberg] UVI Soul Bass Explained

If you’re looking for a virtual bass instrument that can handle all the classic sounds but with the ability to delve into modern sound design as well, UVI’s Soul Bass – with its ability to blend an exquisitely sampled Jazz Bass with a synth bass engine – hits the spot. And in this UVI Soul Bass video tutorial course, VI expert Eli Krantzberg will show you all the features and functions of this unique plugin. From classic, authentic bass tones (like those heard on countless 60s and 70s soul tracks) to experimental, twisted sounds and everything in between, you’ll learn how to do it all. These videos are designed for new Soul Bass users.

After welcoming you to the course, Eli briefly discusses the concept of this instrument and what it’s capable of. You’ll learn the basic layout of the interface so you’ll know how to get around to where you need to quickly. Then he starts to get into specifics, beginning with Performance and Play modes and the numerous handy key switches that allow you to change between different playing styles on the fly. Then, discover how the various amplitude parameters let you shape each note’s volume contour in various ways.

Next, explore the filter parameters and hear how they affect the sound and timbre while providing additional sound-design possibilities as well. Eli then covers the Layer FX, which are a set of independently adjustable stomp box-type effects for each layer (electric bass and synth bass).
Several more topics are covered throughout the rest of the course, including the Master FX (two delays, reverb, EQ, and compressor), sequencer (both pre-made sequences and custom-made), and housekeeping (loading/saving custom presets and global preferences).
