Has anyone else experienced this? I'm trying to lay a decent bass track down for my mini song (to replace the horribly crap one I did the first time round and to practise using V-Tracks) but it seems that the bass sim is too slow. It doesn't handle 2 strings ringing out at the same time well and you sometimes hear a higher pitch of the string before the correct pitch.

Is it perhaps just the batteries? I tried powering it using my power bank but it can't read the CF card when I do that. It DOES seem a bit better though but it still doesn't handle 2 strings at a time very well. Maybe it's worth getting the Boss power supply?

Anyone else experienced this? What did you do to work around it?
    Sounds like they are using digital pitch shifting rather than modelling - which always has a delay because it requires pitch recognition of the notes. You can maybe slide the bass track back a few milliseconds once it's recorded, which will help with the delay on playback (not perfectly though, because pitch recognition speeds vary on the pitch being played, the lower, the slower). It also doesn't help with the play feel while you are laying down the track - if you can, then record the track as straight guitar playing the notes and then apply the bass simulator after the track is laid down.
      Oooer, laying it down as guitar sounds good - I wonder if the BR600 can do that. Will do some research. Thanks!

        I was wondering the same thing. Please let me know. Although, I am sure donavan can tell us right away.

        I got a boss adapter with my br600, so I can try and test the bass sim to see if its slow while not running on batteries.

        But I am busy studying at the moment (seems harder to do as I get older :-\) so I wont be able to get to it in the really near future.
          Of course, the other solution is to do it the way nature intended and buy a bass guitar. ?

            Yip! Which is the way that I do it ?...
              Ja I've been thinking about that. Just need some $$$
