Let’s add a second layer and set the layers’ velocity ranges so the bass will sound different when played
at a higher velocity (as a real bass would):
1. Go back to the 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.
Press 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 press 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.
