What do you use for bass?

[riemac]

What Reason stock synth or Rack Extension do you use most for basslines?

From the stock synth I like Subtractor and Thor, both have snappy envelopes.

In the last time I use Zero very often, because it can produce very deep basses and with the grafic envelope you have a lot off control over the filter.
KHS One is also very good for basses, but very CPU intensive.

What are your favorit devices for bass?

[submonsterz]

Believe it or not etch red........

[tumar]

Thor, Korg Monopoly and Subtractor. Sometimes I sample bass in NI Massive or Virus TI and import to Reason, but rarely.

[motuscott]

Got my eye on a real electric bass guitar sos I can not be using the Dan Dean electric bass guitar samples in NNXT.

[reason2dance]

Spectrasonics Trilian

Thor, of course.

[Vince-Noir-99]

Subtractor Bass Guitar preset, and from there I go anywhere
A sustained 2-3op PX7 patch, with slow modulation and chorus, though Subtractor does that sound pretty well too

[riemac]

Believe it or not etch red........

Yes, I've used Etch Red as well for basslines. What do you use as oscillator with Etch Red?

[mojo]

Subtractor, snakebite, fm4 and a new addition 4mer.

[mojo]

And of course abl3.

[Tincture]

Lucky for me... Polysix, monopoly, fm4, tres, ivoks, malstrom, redominator, Viking, snakebite, nautilus, megasaur and at last zero (in process of being blown away by this synth... I want to use every preset)

[Andy Hyde]

I can't think of a time recently when I have not used Thor or SubBoomBass

Oh, you meant "synth" bass

[Soft Enerji]

I use my bass guitar to work stuff out but I have (age ) issues with my fingers so i kinda cheat a bit sometimes and loop my takes. Sometimes real bass don't cut it so I still work it out on the strings but play it on keys.

[DiZo]

never same tool for the bass here, each tune have original bass

No external oscillators needed its all about the resonance

If you find the envelopes not great for certain sounds you can then use a thors envelope to great use to get the envelopes you want from it .
A word of warning to those with low specced machines it devours dsp using etch as a synth.

As a bassist, I usually use a bass guitar. However, in terms of a Reason instruments, Rob Papen SubBoomBass is my favorite option.

Mine is just a lonely Ibanez SDGR SRX2EX2...

..but for synth bass, I don't have a particular preference. I do sometimes gravitate towards Khs One, TRES, Thor, and Antidote. Etch Red is often found in my chains, too.

[GRIFTY]

What do you guys prefer for sub bass or 808 style bass??

Just curious


BTW zero is great and so is Viking for basslines

I love Antidote, but I never liked it for basses for some reasons. I cannot explain it.

[avasopht]

Pretty much anything; Thor, Subtractor and Maelstrum, then feed it through an effect like the Softube bass amp or Scream.

[TheMiles]

Usually A mix of Subtractor and KHS One. Lately however I found myself using Sub Boom Bass more and more. It has very nice presets and a lot of them!

[dvdrtldg]

Viking is the one I usually reach for first. After that it's Subtractor or SubBoomBass

And Parsec is great as well, for more out-of-the-box-type bass sounds. Really rich and resonant

Nothing wrong with that at all.

[mreese80]

Trillian Bass... 33 Gb...don't need nothing else

[Aquila]

I nearly always use Subtractor. It's just so easy to program for bass.
