Best Service's Chris Hein Solo ContraBass EXtended is a virtual instrument powered by the included Native Instruments Kontakt Player to give you the sounds of a Solo Contrabass, a German Bass, and an Italian Bass, with precise control over each. This 4.8GB library comprises 16,000 samples, affording you 38 articulations, four dynamic layers of legato transition, as well as phase alignment of all samples to provide smooth, inaudible crossfading among eight separate velocity layers.

The German and Italian basses are offered as EX instruments, which are optimized for playability and performance, with fast load times and low memory requirements. In addition to the usual articulations such as legato and portamento, Chris Hein brings you special effects and more esoteric articulations, allowing experimental musicians and film composers to explore the possibilities of flautando, flageolets, and ponticello. The special effects provided are bolstered by an internal DSP rack housed within the Kontakt instrument. This sample library is compatible with both Mac and Windows platforms. It can run in standalone mode, or operate within VST, AU, or AAX formats.

Q: 6. Does this have a zoom feature?

A: Although I am no optics expert, I think this monocular does not zoom . As far as I understand, technically the word zoom means you can vary the amount of magnification. For this monocular the magnification is a straight 10x, hence the designation 10 x 36. A device that could be zoomed would have a designation of 10-12 x 25 or some such, meaning the magnification could vary between 10x and 12x. For this monocular you can focus at different distances- something close, something far away - but the magnification is always 10x. It is a really nice little unit we thoroughly enjoy it.

Q: 7. What is the required disc space (USB) for download?

Q: 8. Does this have a threaded hole on the other side so you can thread more weights to it? If it does, is it also a -20 thread?

A: Yep, it has a threaded hole on the other side to keep stacking up weights. The thread size is the standard thread size on the bottom of cameras.
