RE: Virus Low End Good?
Your probably right Influx, I do need to get into programming a little more maybe. The thing is though, I've tried. For Pads and leads its perfect.
However, for the bass end I'm finding it hard to coax a real thick housey bass out of it. Our styles are different and maybe the virus suits your breaks style better.
I've tried de-tuning, chorus, phasing, layering, etc. To me, its kinda cool in the real deep bottom end but as far as low mid (thickness) presence goes, I'm not convinced.
I mean for example, the closest patch I've found to what I want is the reso bass patch (A45) but as I've said, I can't hear the thickness there, even after heavy editing.
I'll try your tips again tonight but I've already tried. I'll try again though.
I agree that its important to know your synth inside out and I could probably do better programming it but something is telling me that I ain't ever gonna get a proper housey bass out of it.
The 60-100hz seems fine but I want real low mid thickness.
Ps Influx, don't dare post a WAV of a real thick housey bass you've managed to program on the Virus and embarass me! ;-)
