Jazz Plugin Vst
Recreate the magic of expert jazz drumming with Jazz Essentials for Groove Agent. Recorded by veteran jazz drummers, each of the 10 styles presents the full, vibrant dynamism of jazz drums in a specific style with astounding authenticity. The Waves CLA-76 is a compressor inspired by the mid 60s Class A limiting 1176 amplifier, and is well known for its extremely fast attack and release. The Waves CLA-76 VST plugin gives you both models of the compressor, known as ‘Blacky’ and ‘Bluey’ (hardware versions are the UREI/Universal Audio 1176 Blue Stripe and 1176 Blackface). Pure Jazz Vibes is something I've wished for a long while-a truly warm, vintage instrument, impeccably sampled that exudes character and attitude. The mic positions make placing it in various instrumental groupings and mix spaces a breeze.
Bass instruments come in all shapes and forms, but the “mother of all basses” is the classic double bass, also called upright bass, and often referred to as jazz bass.
- VST (Virtual Studio Technology) is a software plug-in format developed by Steinberg. These plug-ins generally come in one of three types: instruments, audio processors, or midi processors. They are among the most ubiquitous plug-in formats, and are what most people refer to when the term “software plug-in” is discussed.
- The All-Time Best Free Rhodes VST Plugins. Looking for the perfect free Rhodes VST plugin? Look no further! Over the past 13 years, I have searched through hundreds of plugins and spent hours and hours trying to find the gold amongst the endless sea of shitty free VST plugins.
Instead of bowing the strings like they usually do in an orchestra, with an upright bass you pluck it the strings in various ways to create more of a rhythm and groove kind of feel for the bass parts.
Here are my top recommendations for VST plugins and sample libraries focusing on a great double bass:

The Power of Double Bass in Music
Why is upright bass such a big part of jazz, acoustic band music of all styles, and often used in film music as well for underscores and minimal scores? Well, because of one thing: rhythm & groove in the low end.
A double bass part can add that sense of drive in a very smooth way, without taking away from dialogue and effects in movies, or the lead singer in a song, or leading melody instrument(s) in a composition.
What you should Focus on
With an upright bass sample library or VST plugin you really want to focus on what type of tone and sound quality you get from the recordings and samples. How notes connect, such as legato, slides etc. are hugely important in the low end.
Vibrato is not that important in bass parts, but dynamic range (layers) and round robins (variations per note) are very important. As are added articulations and special effects you can use for shaping your performance, or adding occasional spices.

Product Details
Evolution Jazz Archtop brings you the iconic tone of a hollowbody jazz guitar, a staple in traditional and contemporary jazz ensembles. The archtop guitar also makes notable appearances in other styles of music such as R&B, pop, latin, and funk. Evolution Jazz Archtop covers all these styles with its flexible and highly-customizable approach. Extensively sampled, Evolution Jazz Archtop includes multiple round-robin in both pick directions and three dynamic layers for a wide range of expression. These specifications cover articulations such as sustains, palm mutes, fully muted notes, and natural harmonics. The library also includes extended performance techniques such as legato articulations and effects like string slaps, divebombs, fret noises, and others.
In developing Evolution Jazz Archtop, we’ve teamed up with Rosewood Recording Company, one of Utah's most venerable recording studios. Guy Randle, the owner and recording engineer at Rosewood Recording Company, incorporates analog audio equipment to skillfully sculpt and emphasize the rich tonal qualities of the guitar. For the sampling session, Guy Randle worked with Rich Dixon, an award-winning session guitarist, international performer, and jazz theory/improvisation educator.
Evolution Jazz Archtop is outfitted with our Evolution guitar engine which provides you with a wealth of appointments: an innovative strumming pattern editor, automatic chord detection, and a robust effects engine. The library includes many factory presets for ready-to-use classic and modern jazz guitar tones designed to fit right into the mix.
Key Features:
- Built-in effects engine for instantly-usable jazz guitar tones.
- Adjustable pick position using our proprietary physical modeling technology.
- Powerful mapping system that lets you set how you want to trigger articulations, using conditions such as velocity ranges, MIDI CCs, latching and non-latching keyswitches, and more.
- Multitracking up to quadruple tracking.
Sampling specifications:
- 3.96 GB (compressed to 1.39 GB using the lossless NCW audio format) of 24-bit samples.
- Articulations such as sustains, palm mutes, mutes, natural harmonics, plus special effects like string slaps, divebombs, and more.
- MIDI articulations for instant octaves, grace notes, buzz trills, whole-step slides, whole-step hammer-ons, and slides (velocity-based and tempo-synced). Logic pro x plugins vst.
- Legato samples for slides, hammer-ons, and pull-offs.
- The articulations have 3 dynamics, 2 pick directions (when applicable), and 2x round-robin.
Evolution Jazz Archtop licenses Native Instruments' Kontakt Player sampler software. Consequently, owning the full version of Kontakt is not necessary, and Evolution Jazz Archtop operates without limitations within the free Kontakt Player application/plugin. This also allows the sample library to be listed in the libraries tab in Kontakt for convenient access.
Evolution Jazz Archtop is NKS-ready. The integration with the Native Kontrol Standard presents many benefits, both when using the library in the Komplete Kontrol software as well as in conjunction with Komplete Kontrol hardware, such as the Komplete Kontrol S-Series keyboards and Maschine.
In addition to Evolution Jazz Archtop being displayed in the Native Browser among your other Komplete Kontrol instruments, there are a variety of other benefits. For example, thanks to Native Instruments’ Native Map® technology, you can control the library’s various parameters directly through connected hardware right out of the box. Furthermore, the keyswitches and key ranges are shown using Light Guide, an innovative technology that displays the key colors directly on your Komplete Kontrol S-Series keyboard.
We recommend using Evolution Jazz Archtop with a Komplete Kontrol S-Series keyboard for the full experience. While not a requirement, you will be able to take advantage of the Native Kontrol Standard for an intuitive connection between software instruments and hardware.
