From
Rhonda Smith to Reggie Hamilton, it's hard to find a professional
bass player who doesn't travel with a CD-BT1. Its successor now
features Bass Enhancement including Bass Cut and Bass Boost, more
variable speeds, built-in metronome, more controls accessible by
footswitch and much more.
Easy to Learn
and Use
If you can operate a CD player, you can use the CD-BT1mkII. Take
any standard compact disc by your favorite band and put it in the
CD mechanism. Then plug your bass directly into the CD-BT1mkII's
1/4" input. Put on some headphones, set the volume, and start
rocking! If you're a vocalist, you can do the same, substituting
your microphone for the guitar.
Slow Down and
Learn with Slow Speed Audition feature.
In ancient times (like
the 1970s), musicians would take a vinyl LP record and manually
spin the record on a turntable, slowing it down to be able to
better hear and understand the performances, like bass solos and
complex chord changes. With the CD-BT1mkII, you get a training
method that's even better. Not only can you slow down the speed of
the CD by up to 50%, but you can do it without changing the pitch
of the original material! After you learn the lick at a slow speed,
you can increase the tempo in steps until you can match the
original performance note for note. Also, you can change the pitch
of the CD without changing the speed...use this feature to "tune
the CD" to your instrument.
Effect
Yourself
The CD-BT1mkII has 16 great-sounding built-in customizable bass
effects...you don't need to turn to external boxes for chorus, EQ
and more. The Bass Boost and Enhance settings allow you to boost
the bass part so that you can hear it better, and Bass Cut lets you
mute the original so you can play along.
Performance
Tools
You can set seamless in-out loop points with the CD-BT1mkII...it
will play the same section of music over and over again so you can
focus on your playing. Use the footswitch input to start and stop
the CD, or to scroll through effects. The CD-BT1mkII even provides
a chromatic tuner so you always sound great when you play, and can
run on batteries to take your show on the road. You can listen to
the CD-BT1mkII via headphones, or use its Line Output to plug in
speakers.
There's
never been a better or more affordable bass training tool than the
CD-BT1mkII.
