psytrance basslines on virus

[23fx23]

hi, make psytrance, spend time to get (nearly) a good psybasse, my few last 6 month observes:

often start first from a single sawtooth in low octave that reach the kick fundamental frq (or ajust your kick to mach the bass), try to lower the cut off lp, and apply an enveloppe to open up the filter a bit on note start. force the osc to sync, the phase should always restart at each note. play around with this first. once you get results, you can try to add other wavform like square but the saw should remain dominant. a good tip is also to shift a bit the phase of a same second osc to bring out the octave (shift the phase to 50 percent, try with 2 saw or saw/sin), a litlle delay very short of a few samples can do the job too...another thing is not a rule but often better if you slightly delay the note start (about one wavform cycle). try also to check with an oscilloscope, can help a lot, for example got best results if the number of wavform cycles in a sixteen note is an entire number, usually 4,5,or6, this depends on tempo also, you can try to fine adjust tempo until you get the good ratio groove/solid hope it can help..

ps lot of people say midi timing isn't enough accurate to get a strong sync for a long time, and resample when it's ok.
