Bass stems does not contain the deepest octave #18

I've already mentioned this in this comment, but I'm opening it again here to give it more publicity for other researchers.

After looking at the bass labels and listening to the stems, I've noticed that the deepest note in the bass stems is B1 (one octave above the deepest note on a 5-string electric bass and seven notes above the deepest note on a 4-string electric bass).

Likewise, the highest octave in the labels are not rendered in the audio since this is one octave above the highest note on a 4/5-string 24-fret electric bass (note G5).

It would be great if this information was added to the slakh.com website and even better if the bass stems was re-rendered!

Hey! Thanks for opening up this issue. As I mentioned in my reply to the original issue (https://github.com/ethman/slakh-generation/issues/2#issuecomment-856086485), the fix is to change the MIDI labels because Kontakt won't render notes in that lower octave. I am working on an updated version of Slakh with the labels updated.

I'll keep you posted when it gets pushed. Thanks for all of your help! :D
