With modern technology, and using a previous sponsor of the channel LALAL.ai, I was able to remove the original bass part and create one of my own. This is the second part of the \u201Cimitate then innovate\u201D method that Hal Crook hipped me to back in my Berklee days.
allow me to create loops that use "American Songbook" type song forms, and not just one repetitive loop, e.g, "Rhythm Changes" (A-A-B-A, where "A" and "B" are loops and each one is 8 bars, but the "A" and "B" are not the same loop); 12 bar Blues with 8 bar bridge, etc.?
Thats not creative? Yes it is, because there might be this one bass idea captured in a drum loop, that you are about to set free and show it to the world. We are not suggesting, that you use the exact outcome of the converting process, but we definitely recommend seeing it as a source of inspiration and a starting point.
No. 2 The 2nd technique is very similar to the 1st one, but might create a more layered and multidimensional outcome, since a little hihat fill or ride cymbal can always trigger an extra MIDI note, that will spice up your bass line. Just assign your synth and start rocking out!
Tip 2: Try finding a drum loop with some additional musical info like a fuzzy synth or a crazy atonal sample - since a bass is not multi-lingual and speaks only one voice, this technique might trigger your bass to speak in a cool dialect, that no one has heard before ;) !
But if you flatten that MIDI information, using only the notes you want for your bass and just use the rhythmically interesting parts of the generated file, you will come up with funky stuff!
Eric Harris, bassist of Local Man Ruins Everything, stopped by the shop to show us some cool sounds he's been digging on the Luminary.
We especially love the higher octave swells he was getting with the attack knob cranked!
