Studio Bass keyswitch mapping in Logic Pro for iPad
This section outlines the articulations of the Studio Bass instruments.
When you load a Studio Bass instrument patch from the browser, an articulation set is automatically loaded. There are separate articulation sets for each playing style of the electric bass instruments, and one for the American Upright instrument. Each articulation set contains keyswitches that let you switch articulations by triggering specific MIDI notes. This lets you add legato or slides, for example, to a bass line in realtime.
In order to use keyswitches, you need to turn on the MIDI Remote switch in the Articulation Switches MIDI settings.
The table shows the default keyswitch mapping, starting from C-1 (MIDI note number 12).
Note: Some articulation IDs differ for the American Upright. In such cases, use the second number in the Articulations ID field.
