Toontrack has announced the release of the Classic Rock EBX, a sound library and MIDI expansion pack for their EZbass virtual instrument. Designed to provide the foundational low-end tones characteristic of the classic rock era, the expansion is centered around a meticulously sampled classic 1960s bass guitar.
The library features both fingerstyle and pick performance articulations. For added tonal versatility, the pick options were captured in two distinct striking positions along the strings: neck and bridge. The instrument covers an extended pitch range from A0 to E4 and features a dedicated “Clean DI” (direct input) preset option across all tools and striking positions, enabling custom external amplification and processing.
