Library: search and the song list

Seven techniques

  • Normal Played with the song's default sound.
  • Slide Slides to the next note.
  • Hammer-on Carries on without a new attack. Pull-off works the same way.
  • Gliss out Slides down and fades.
  • Ghost A dull hit with no pitch.
  • Thumb A thumb slap sound.
  • Pop A plucked-and-released pop.

Default sound per song

  • Each song's default sound is finger or slap (thumb).
  • With slap, normal notes play as thumb.
  • Thumb and pop can also be set note by note.
  • The sounds are samples from FreePats Finger Bass (finger) and GeneralUser GS (slap); licenses are listed under Sound sources and licenses in settings.

Strength

  • Set soft, medium or strong per note, and choose the strength mode for a song: tap strength, fixed, tap position or pressure.

Library

  • Search by name and sort by recent, name or number of notes.
  • Pin songs to the top.
  • Duplicate and delete (undo from the home screen).
  • Song cards show the number of sections and notes, and when you last played.
  • Eight practice patterns are added on first launch, from open strings to a twelve-bar blues walking line, and can be downloaded again in settings.

Sharing and backup

  • Export one song as an .easybass.json file to share it. Import a received file with Import pattern file.
  • There is no whole-library backup or cloud sync. Songs are stored on the device only.
  • If a save file is damaged, a recovery file is kept and Recover songs from recovery file in settings restores them.
