So what is the lipid base? Well, it's a sleek new controller that puts the best
features of modern MIDI controllers into a stylish portable package. It's got 32
pressure sensitive pads, 9 touch faders, 8 touch buttons, and 8 function buttons.
So there's plenty of goods for playing, tweaking, and generally keeping things
under control. We know the things are always changing and so can the base. You
can edit the settings to whatever notes and cc's you want. These 32 pressure
sensing pads have RGB LEDs, which means you can color code the base so you know
what's going on. It's reprogrammable, has after touch, and is nicely spaced, so
there's a lot of new potential for forming with instruments, drums, filters,
and effects in totally new ways. If you're playing a piano, tapping out a beat, or
chopping clips, our custom pads put a complete performance service right at
your fingertips. If you're using our scripts or programming with our editor,
you can play with different scales, sensitivities, and even try the magic of
true polyphonic after touch. The 9 touch faders have a really nice sensitivity
and give you some new ways of doing things that you can't with a regular
fader. Each one has LEDs to tell you what's happening and they dynamically
adapt when you change between presets or banks. Like a touchscreen, you can jump
between values just by touching them, but you can also use them for continuous
control. There's some other cool modes that let you pinch to fine-tune, or use
it as a relative control for scrolling through tracks. As you might expect,
multiple LED modes, sensitivity settings, and different functions can be
customized using the base editor. To top it off, the RGB backlit rubber and
touch buttons give you even more possibilities. You can change scales,
banks, channels, or transport control, and of course they provide colorful
feedback and can be adapted to any function. While our scripts offer an
incredible amount of flexibility, you can use the base as an advanced
instrument control in any software right out of the box. You can knock out some
quick sketches in GarageBand or make some tracks in Reason. Put the keyboard
aside and explore more range and expressive after touch with basses
super-cool pads. There's no sliders to bend, no knobs to catch, and it weighs
less than a kilo. It's skinnier than an inch, and it's got a face that's smaller
than your laptop. Bass is a truly portable instrument from the studio to
the stage. It's made from super strong aluminum with the solid powder-coated
finish, so bass can withstand the toughest touring schedule. While everyone
was talking about touch, we were thinking about feel. The bass is colorful,
stylish, programmable, playable, portable, and affordable. The ultimate
digital instrument for the electronic musician.
