The story
A rubber band used to lie on my table and I decided to make some kind of upright bass with it’s sound. Here is what occured.
Reviews
Awesome Sound design
Im always amazed when people make such unique instruments out of boring house hold objects. This really does sound like an upright bass. If i were to use it i would probably cut out a bit of the highs because its a bit too tonal for me. Theres also pretty big discrepancies between the sample start times making it kind of unplayable. You would really have to get in there and adjust each midi note to get it to really be a tight performance. I personally dont love the sound either even though i think its cool and unique but i hope others enjoy it more than i do.
Unique sound with a few issues
This sound is certainly unique and has a lot of potential as a bass voice or as a synth type sound within a mix. However, the start times of the samples varies widely, which greatly diminishes the playability of the instrument. Some of the notes in the highest register have 1500 ms of air before the sound plays. With a little more care in the programming, this sample pack could be really great! It's clearly very creative and has the potential to be really inspiring!
Rubber Band Bass
Not a bad sound. You may have trouble getting inspired from this sound as is. I think it would work really well to layer this with a synth bass. Also add some FX to this sound. Enjoy!
