Shreddage 3 Fretless is a gorgeous Kontakt library of virtual five-string fretless electric basses that perfectly captures the iconic “mwah” sound that countless fretless bass players are familiar with. The round, sonorous sound is suitable for beautiful lead bass and solid bass parts, making it a very useful general-purpose virtual bass instrument.
Shreddage 3 Fretless was recorded by famed multi-instrumentalist George Nowik using three channels, including dry and two real amps. All important articulation techniques, noises, and even the details of each finger are precisely captured. Great expressiveness perfect for funk, jazz, jazz rock and modern genres. It works equally well for lead bass, or as a bass part in any type of music.
The revamped Shreddage 3.5 engine offers better adjustability than ever, with a cleaner user interface and simpler pronunciation mapping. You can switch “playing styles” directly from the main interface without worrying about hand position, fret, etc. For example, switch directly from standard bass playing to master solo. The new “Keyboard Mode” has the same sensitivity and consistency as a premium workstation. Each MIDI note is pre-assigned to a specific fret or string, allowing you to always get the same timbre on any given MIDI note, with no restrictions on polyphony or articulation. The new Articulations tab is based on the Total Articulation Control Technology (TACT) 3.0 system, allowing you to visually adjust the mapping and adjustment of each articulation.
