Let's add a second layer and set the Layers' velocity ranges so our bass sounds different when played at
a higher velocity (as a real bass would):
1.
Go back to the File Browser and select a different bass sample that sounds similar but a little bit
brighter.
2.
Double-click a sample to add it to the Project.
3.
Back in the Layer section, click the Layer 2 drop-
down menu and select the new bass sample. Hit a
pad—both samples will sound at once. Maybe this
new sound is interesting as it is, but let's make some
quick edits to get as close as we can to a real-life
bass sound.
4.
Set Layer 1's Velocity slider to cover the velocity range from 0 to 80, and set Layer 2's Velocity
slider to cover the range from 81 to 127.
Now when you hit a pad, the lower velocities will trigger the Layer 1 sample only, while higher velocities
will trigger the Layer 2 sample only.
Let's record that bass line now. Prepare your recording as described earlier, and record some bass notes.
You can edit your recording just like we've done earlier.
