Synthy Bass

[DaveMal]

hey guys, im trying to get something similar to this sound, a ball park sound..

[url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOkdwEBOZNM"]HERE at about 40sec in[/url]

ive been using the pod xt and using a synth lead effect.. but it adds a lot of extra noise and a phasing modulation wave sound over it too along with some volume inconsistencies... any suggestions of something to use to get something similar?? im not looking to nail the tone.. i'd just like to get a better idea of what's going on there.

cheers,
David.

Dual analogue oscillators, octave or two apart and sync-ed so that one is a slave? Plus slightly delayed attack phase of the filter envelope to give that slight swell, I think...been ages since I've played with synths so I could be talking out of my a**e but that'd be my starting point, with maybe a slow phaser effect or similar. Unless you've got a handy preset though, I think you'd need a 'proper' synth to get this. I don't know where bass synths are these days, but no way would my old deep impact get anywhere close! Good luck...

Just buy an analogue synth.

You can get very very similar sound to this with an Akai Deep Impact.... The you have to be quick on the string muting though to get the effect correctly

I disagree - but depends how close you mean, I guess You'll get a lot closer with something like a Microkorg (and for less dosh too).
