Playing Bass on Keyboard

[Hollowcell]

I thought of a way to do it, but it would be a real hassle....

Multi-sample sustaining bass notes, now place all the notes that would be on each string into 4 seperate presets (on Emu's they are called presets, not sure about other samplers). Layer the Presets and make sure they don't overlap.

Set the sampler to play the entire sample until another sample is triggered in the same preset (or until you trigger a note from the same virtual string if you will).

By setting up like this, you will get the note sustaining until you trigger another note from the same Preset (or until you trigger another note from the same virtual string). But if you trigger a note that would be on a different string (different preset), it won't effect the sustain of the previous note struck.

What a head fuck that would be! But you wouldn't be able to get the same control on a synth, so the sampler is the best bet.
