"Bottoms Up" SMF Recordings of Bass by Keyfax

Keyfax, a leading producer of MIDI samples, has produced Bottoms Up, a collection of SMF recordings dedicated to bass, electric bass guitar, upright bass, bass synth, piano, and tuba parts, all played on alternate MIDI controllers by some of the world's premier bassists.

As with all volumes in the Twiddly.Bits series, Bottoms Up calls upon the talents of some top names in the bass field: Tiran Porter (Doobie Brothers), Paul Jones (Whitney Houston), Latin specialist Phil Retamoza (Orquesta Gitano), Dennis Murphy (Acoustic Alchemy), Julian Crampton (George Benson), Jon Savannah (Van Morrison), Dale Davies (Tina Turner), Dale Ockerman (Zigaboo Modeliste), and others.

Featuring some 700 grooves in total, the stylistic categories include Rock (Classic, Prog, Soft, Alternative, Modern), R&B, Hip Hop, Reggae, Latin, Jazz, Funk, Country, and Disco, plus special categories for Turnarounds, Bits & Pieces (slides and trills), and Classic Lines.

Each file contains at least one Guide Drum Track, plus an accompaniment track for quick reference. All items are in Standard MIDI File format, available for PC or Mac, and may be used license-free.
