Hi All!

Was wondering if anyone knew of any decent bass ghost note options / patches in Reason or how it could be achieved?

Thanks!

If you have Reason Electric Bass there are some ghost notes in there.

It's in the RE manual, can't remember off the top of my head but there is a way to produce what is referred to as ghost notes.

I think there’s maybe only four... one for each string and maybe different velocities. I haven’t used it in ages but I remember them being in there. The manual has more info.

My understanding of the term "ghost notes" for anything is ultimately about the velocity / volume.

I think the general idea being that your able to notice when they missing but they have no focus / prominence.

It's actually a bit of a pain to explain now I'm thinking about it.

If you're programming a drum beat you might for instance use a low velocity snare hat or some other prec to add "something" extra to the beat that is not prominent but when removed leaves the beat missing something.

I'm guessing it's a similar principle with anything else.

It can be that with drums (possibly with bass too) but in this case it's like palm muting on the guitar but with a bass. You kind of mute the string and half play the non strum / pick hand.
