作为 Orange Tree Samples 迄今为止采样最广泛的乐器，Iconic Bass™ Jaco 提供了令人难以置信的真实感和可玩性。Orange Tree Samples 创始人 Greg Schlaepfer 表示：“Iconic Bass Jaco 是我们制作过的最具挑战性的贝斯库。作为一名贝斯手，也是他的忠实粉丝，我对制作这个库的要求非常严格。我确信最终的结果值得我付出努力。这个库为我们建立了一个新的标准。它比我们现有的任何库都具有更多的细节和功能，包括重新触发样本、多个速度层和可变释放样本。它利用 Kontakt 强大的脚本引擎来产生原本无法实现的真实感。即使是经验丰富的专业人士也无法分辨出 Iconic Bass Jaco 的精彩表演和现场贝斯手的表演之间的区别。最重要的是，演奏起来真的很有趣。”

Jaco 著名的无品爵士贝斯目前状况不佳，在 80 年代中期被砸坏后，人们费尽心思将其粘在一起。Orange Tree Samples 通过使用与原始型号相同的公司制造的 Jaco 贝斯的复制品，尽可能地接近原样。我们精心重现了精细的细节，例如使用 Jaco 喜欢的相同的 .045 规格圆形缠绕琴弦，并直接从电贝斯的输出中采样贝斯，这是 Jaco 在录音室中录制的典型方式。为了实现他的动态音色，Iconic Bass Jaco 采用了从几个不同的拨弦位置采集的样本，例如在靠近琴桥的地方演奏，以获得通常称为“Jaco 咆哮”的咆哮、尖锐的音色。就像 Jaco 从事爵士、流行和摇滚乐一样，这个库适用于许多音乐流派。例如，只需为“Jaco 咆哮”添加失真，您就会发现它非常适合硬摇滚曲目。该库还包含音色更深沉、更柔和的样本，其中拨弦手更靠近贝斯琴颈，非常适合许多流行和摇滚作品。

除了使用传统采样技术重现 Jaco 传奇的无品贝斯音色外，Iconic Bass Jaco 还引入了下一代脚本样本库。使用 Kontakt 强大的脚本引擎，该库可以智能地重现音频提示，这些提示在历史上区分了现场贝斯演奏和采样贝斯演奏。这些细微的差别结合在一起，对创造最逼真的声音产生了重大影响。例如，采样贝斯的一大特点是音符末尾和音符之间的不切实际的静音。因此，该库中超过一半的样本都用于释放样本、音符过渡样本和音品噪音——这些元素对于实现逼真的音质演奏至关重要。- 近 4,000 个 24 位 48 kHz 样本，可实现最佳质量，总文件大小超过 2.5 GB。

- 直接从低音输出捕获的原始信号，可完全自由地根据需要应用效果、均衡器或放大器模拟。

- 使用脚本引擎单独采样琴弦，该脚本引擎可自动确定使用哪些音品和琴弦，从而提高低音音调和演奏的真实感，因为每根琴弦都是单音的。

- 根据每个音符的持续时间使用不同的释放样本。在现场表演中，断奏音符的释放声音通常比长而持续的音符更嘈杂。这已考虑到 Iconic Bass Jaco 的编程中。

- 三个拨弦位置，每个位置都有三个力度层，以及 2x 智能循环采样。

- 连奏，例如锤击和勾弦。

- 自然和人工泛音，产生铃声般的铃声，这是 Jaco 标志性风格的一部分。

- 使用重新触发采样，以便在重复相同音符时使用不同的采样，从而产生更真实的演奏。

- 预拨弦采样。贝斯手的手指在拨弦前在琴弦上移动时发出的声音。这种微妙的添加提供了一个重要的音频提示，让听众相信贝斯是现场演奏的，而不是采样的。

- 静音音符、耙弦、拍弦等效果。

- 能够以令人难以置信的真实感从一个音符滑到另一个音符。

- 低 D 采样。虽然不符合 Jaco 的风格，但此功能使 Iconic Bass Jaco 能够完美融入摇滚、金属和其他音乐风格。

- 包括模仿特定标志性 Jaco 音调的放大器/驾驶室脉冲。这些可以直接从界面访问，也可以使用您最喜欢的卷积插件应用。

As Orange Tree Samples' most extensively sampled instrument to date, Iconic Bass™ Jaco provides incredible realism and playability. According to Orange Tree Samples founder, Greg Schlaepfer, "Iconic Bass Jaco was the most challenging bass library we've produced. As a bass player, and a huge fan of the man, I was extremely demanding in producing this library. I'm certain that the end result made it worth the effort. This library establishes a new standard for us. It has more detail and features than any of our existing libraries, including retrigger samples, multiple velocity layers, and variable release samples. It takes advantage of Kontakt's powerful scripting engine to produce realism that would not otherwise be achievable. Even seasoned pros will not be able to tell the difference between a well played performance with Iconic Bass Jaco and a live bass player. Best of all, it's really enjoyable to play."

Jaco's famous fretless jazz bass is currently in poor shape, painstakingly glued together after it was smashed in the mid '80s. Orange Tree Samples was able to get as close as possible by using a recreation of Jaco's bass made by the same company as the original model. We meticulously recreated the fine details, such as using the identical roundwound .045 gauge strings that Jaco preferred, and sampled the bass directly from the output of the electric bass, the way Jaco typically recorded in the studio. To achieve his dynamic tone, Iconic Bass Jaco features samples taken from several different plucking positions, such as playing close to the bridge in order to obtain the growly, biting tone commonly called the "Jaco growl". And just like Jaco, who worked in jazz, pop, and rock, this library fits in many musical genres. For example, just add distortion to the "Jaco growl" and you'll find it fits perfectly in hard-hitting rock tracks. The library also includes samples with a deeper, mellower tone where the plucking hand is much closer to the neck of the bass, and fits very well in many pop and rock productions.

In addition to using traditional sampling techniques to reproduce Jaco's legendary fretless bass tone, Iconic Bass Jaco introduces the next generation of scripted sample libraries. Using Kontakt's powerful scripting engine, the library intelligently reproduces the audio cues that have historically distinguished live bass playing from those that are sampled. These subtle nuances combine together to have a significant impact in creating the most realistic sound possible. For example, a big giveaway of a sampled bass is the unrealistic silences at the end of notes and between notes. Thus, over half of the samples in this library are devoted to release samples, note transition samples, and fret noises--elements crucial for achieving a realistic sounding performance.- Nearly 4,000 24-bit 48 kHz samples for optimal quality, with a total file size of more than 2.5 GB.

- A pristine signal that was captured directly from the output of the bass, providing complete freedom to apply effects, EQ, or amp sims as desired.

- Individually sampled strings with a scripting engine that automatically determines which frets and strings are used, increasing the realism of both the tone of the bass and the performance, because each string is monophonic.

- Different release samples depending on the duration of each note. In live performances, staccato notes generally have a noisier release sound than long, sustained notes. This is factored into the programming of Iconic Bass Jaco.

- Three plucking positions, each with three velocity layers, and 2x intelligent round-robin sample cycling.

- Legato articulations such as hammer-ons and pull-offs.

- Natural and artificial harmonics, which produce a ringing, bell-like tone, that was a part of Jaco's signature style.

- Retrigger samples are used so that different samples are used when the same note is repeated, resulting in a more authentic sounding performance.

- Pre-pluck samples. The sound that the bassist's finger makes as it moves across the string before plucking it. This subtle addition provides an important audio cue to convince listeners that the bass is live, not sampled.

- Effects such as muted notes, rakes, string slaps, and much more.

- The ability to slide from one note to any other with incredible realism.

- Low D samples. Although uncharacteristic of Jaco's style, this feature enables Iconic Bass Jaco to fit perfectly in rock, metal, and other styles of music.

- Includes amp/cab impulses modeled after specific signature Jaco tones. These can be accessed directly from the interface, or applied using your favorite convolution plugin.
