Opinions are like assholes....
 

......everyone's got one.

just a little opinion from y'all out there.

what synth(current) can create the FATTEST bass lines?

Thankya

Dave smith evolver does some pretty evil analog bass.

ten

Yeah Ten, I tweeked around with one a few weeks back. The evolver's no short of evil, that's fersure.

Has anyone a Moog voyager out there, is there any internal way to grit it up? :mrgreen:

Really does depend on what you mean by "FATTEST" in my arsehole (oops I mean in my opinion :D ).

For me there isn't any all-in-one-box solution for bass unfortunately.
What sort of music are you trying to create?

Yeah, I realize Fattest is subjective. Just wanted to hear what some had to kick around about what the Fattest was. For me the Poly Evolver...is the bass I tend to like. The Virus' filter's in my opinion can't unleash the bass beast, but my programing skills are weak....so it may be possible.
I think analog filters can't be beat or are hard to beat....
I guess I'm going for music that hasn't already been done a thousand times.

Then you want a v-synth loaded with fat ass samples to abuse :)

A lot boils down to the processing, and I think that it does take a fair bit more processing to get a chunky bass out of the Virus. I don't mind using my VC filters on bass from other machines occasionaly though, but I very rarely turn to it for generating the bass itself (keeping in mind the style of music I like of course).

Like Khazul just mentioned, using the V-Synth to layer and bring life to bass samples is a damn nice way to go, and at the moment that's what I do for all the bass I create. I record little clean bass loops from my analogue gear (or friends gear) and then use the V-Synth - works for what I like.

When it comes to my favourite source of bass waveforms, my CS-10 remains to be on top for me. Just love the thing!

I have got some nasty fat bass sounds out of the TI - mucho fekking around to do it tho and need an outboard compressor or transient shaper to really make it work.

yeah, the virus bass is what I think of as a "out of body experience" bass, I saw tool a while back, they were using either a kb or a TI....any way, anytime they layed a finger on that thing....felt like someone was playin ping-pong ball with my inerds. I guess the bass I'm looking for, kmfdm starts alot of songs out with. A perfect example is urban monkey warfare off the attack album. It sounds like an Evolver can pull it off.

Maybe the best was to get brutal bass out of a virus is sample it into a v-synth - balls it up with that thing than stick it back thorugh the virus filters, then into a transient shaper or compressor.

End result should be sick!!!


hmm... off to fiddle ... been a while since I have those two beasts cross looped

The Ti is Fatt as Fuck for Bass,if you spend time on programming..
Greetings from Luxemburg,On the Beer...Just got to find an Irish Pub to watch the England Game tomorrow..

Fat yes - brutally punchy - no :)

Heh - off the wagon then? ;)

So what the hell is a V-synth or a CS10? LOL!

Trying to follow this thread.

Reason why? I want to get a sick bassline tooooooooooooo.

But my programming skills are weak as hell right now.

Some instant gratification will be sweet right about now...hahaha

I want my bassline to sound like this shit....check it out

ProgressiveHouse

For those wondering....that track is from Matthew Dekay

Released on Little Mountain Records called To Da Groove

MAD RESPECT!

Roland V-Synth
Yamaha CS10

I received a poly evolver last week :shock: layer all 4 voices with bass patches, and good god damn capt'n, I do believe I'm a pig in shiat! :wink:

Very good for bass sounds is the Sunsyn, also fine Little Phatty, very fat for a DSP based Synth is the Creamware Minimax ASB. Pretty much unkown, but the FS1R can be pretty punchy and versatile when it comes to bass sounds, the micron is not that bad either...
