Judging only by the discussion above it may seem more complex than it really is. For notes in the middle of the playable range there are more choices. For example, the lowest F can only be played on fret 1 of the E string, so playing it will force the hand position to move there. If you intend to make a new long down-slide there is no way for the script to know your intentions, so you have to indicate that you want the next note (the start note of the slide) to be played at a high fret number (see my post above for different ways of doing this).Įdit: in case you wonder about the difference between up- and down-slides it might be explained by the fact that notes near the bottom or top range of the instrument may only be possible to play on one specific string. If you start from a high fret number and slide a long way down it means that the hand will move to low fret numbers (i.e.
Which string is selected depends on the hand position. Please note that one and the same note may be played on multiple strings. you're starting from a fret number that is too low for a downwards octave slide. Without that information I'm inclined to believe that there is not enough space, i.e. I'm sorry, but you have still not reported what the hand position is when you start that down-slide and whether there is enough space left on the bass string to perform an octave slide. You can do this by either controlling the hand position directly using keyswitches or a MIDI controller, or you can control the hand position indirectly by using a string keyswitch that forces a note to be played on a certain string (or strings if you combine multiple string keyswitches).
#HOW TO SLIDE SCARBEE BASS MANUAL#
In these cases you will need to mimic these decisions by taking manual control over the hand position. Now and then a real bass player will choose to move the hand a longer distance than is strictly needed in order to get the desired sound (high or low frets) or make certain slide/pull-off/hammer-on articulations possible. This simulates how a real bass player normally chooses frets that are within a comfortable distance from the current hand position along the neck. The hand position determines the range of frets preferred for the next note you trigger. Please note that when you perform a long slide the hand position (shown as a little horizontal bar above the fretboard display) is automatically moved - just like a real bass player's hand would move.
On a real bass if you play a note on fret number 4 on some string it is not possible to slide down an octave since you would reach the end of the string before reaching the imagined slide end note. Your reply didn't contain any confirmation of whether you had checked this. If you are planning on sliding down say 12 semitones, then please ensure that there actually are 12 frets available on that string in the direction you want to slide. before you start to actually slide) there'll be a marker indicating what string and fret is used. When you play the source/attack note of the slide (i.e. Please have a look at the virtual fretboard in the user-interface.
