I've been using Trilian (and Omnisphere) now for several months for composing Demos.
I used to program parts, but then bought a bass to aid workflow. You will gain a perspective by playing bass that you will never get by playing keyboards. Doing this takes time, and as I'm assuming you're a stringed instrument player first, getting familiar with those sound you want on the actual instrument will feel more natural.Įssentially, you will need to learn to be a keyboard player to gain fluency, and not every VSTi uses the same functionality per key.Īnother point is that playing bass is a skill that can be brought to a band, or taught, and there are specific bass guitar grade systems out there. With a bass, you have the notes at your fingertips in a much more tactile way than you do when programming, unless you have spent the time getting familiar with all the different MIDI program changes, keystrokes, controller changes. (On a side note, I think this is more a left/right brain thing. This takes time, and interrupts the creative flow. For instance, when programming a bass part in Trillian, I would need to change sounds and hunt out the slap sound for the sound that I wanted. However, when you're programming you write without instrumental embellishment. I used to program bass parts, and they were pretty functional.
