Very good instructor. This virtual instrument is new to me. But, I will look through my Native Instrument menus and look to see if I already own it. Then I'll start trying to practice the thing he teaches here.

Nice brief to the point walk through with demonstrations. Did a good job of showing how a realistic bass performance is possible with this instrument.

Love these quick tours. Be nice if there were many more of these that were segue into more detailed/advanced courses. This quick tour, in particular, was done very well
