About Lowest Note
The ORCHESTRA BASS sounds (like the orchestral sounds of
the treble section) are PCM waveforms (samples) of acoustic
instruments. Each acoustic instrument has a set range: it cannot
sound notes below or above that range.
A normally tuned 4-string bass guitar allows you to play a low E,
but not the D below it, for instance:
Samples (PCM waveforms), on the other hand, can lower the pitch
of a recorded sound almost indefinitely. But that doesn’t sound
very natural. The “Lowest Note” parameter allows you to specify
the lowest pitch the sample can use. If you nevertheless play a
lower note on the bass keyboard, it will be sounded one octave
above the corresponding pitch and sound natural. Here is an
example:
If this is what you play on the bass keyboard–
–after choosing... Lowest Note = E
–these notes are transposed 1 octave up
The Orchestra Bass sound thus changes octaves. For some songs,
the default setting (E) may yield odd results, especially if you
need to play walking bass lines, etc. In that case, you can change
the “LowestNt (Lowest Note)” setting to achieve a satisfactory
result.
