Boston, MA (January 20, 2016)
- Cakewalk, dedicated to powerful and thoughtfully designed software
for modern musicians, announces the new Gibson Bass Collection Expansion
Pack at the 2016 NAMM Show (Gibson Booth 300B, Level 3). Designed for
Cakewalk's Rapture Pro and Rapture Session virtual instruments
(available in VST3/AU/AAX/standalone formats), and sampled by expert
sound designer Craig Anderton, this collection combines the warm,
organic sound of three unique Gibson electric basses. The 28 programs
also offer keyswitching to toggle between pick and finger attacks.
The Midtown Bass captures the
distinctive clarity and depth of this rare semi-hollow body bass, which
is made from routed solid woods (rather than laminating woods around a
solid center block). Its bright, punchy sound is ideal for pop/rock. For
warm, raw power, the Les Paul Standard Bass features the classic
tonewood combination of a mahogany body for richness with a solid
carved maple top for "snap," topped off by Thunderbird Bass pickups with
ceramic magnets for "punch."Finally, building on one of the most
successful expansion packs ever for Cakewalk's Dimension Pro synth, the EB 5-String Bass 2.0, with its eight unique pickup combinations, now takes full advantage of Rapture Pro/Session's advanced features.
