Heavy buzz sustain  

The Heavy buzz sustain has a loud buzz / rattle that was intentionally added by plucking the string very heavily. It adds a wildness, richness and reality to your bass tracks.

Direct signals from the bass guitar

You can make your own guitar sound so it suits the music genre you’re working with by using SR5’s built-in amp simulator or your favorite amplifier simulator.

Picking noises are recorded on all frets and strings

Picking noises made while playing a guitar is one of the most important characteristics that identify a live guitar recording. That is why we took great care in capturing many variations of picking noises. Adding these noises, with consideration to timing and picking style, will make your guitar tracks sound natural. When you use picking noise sampled from a different position of the fret board than the one you’re applying it to, the result is an unnatural sound because the noise will not harmonize with the original note’s sustain sound.
