Yay thread necro. I love good basslines!
I also found that 2x basses can be quite alot of fun weaving in and out between 2 syncopations. I picked a flat boring bass, and then one with some character. (I jest, it's supposedly a Benny Benassi analogue bass, which probably needs to be properly EQ'd to sound sexy)
No mixing or eq'ing done, so soz

something i quickly threw together after seeing this thread (I tried to limit my creativity time to 5 mins)
Almost sounds like the bassline in one of the blade tracks, but not quite. Also, I love when basses hit randomly higher notes in an arpeggio, or slide around. I've also been turned on to the note stutter at the end of my first baseline in the example. I have a baseline in a WIP of mine that puts this stutter to really good use too ^^.

nice spam.
Oh Thread's back from the dead.
crono is that you back for good....(is that a song or something).lol
Nice resurrection!! This is personally one of the most memorable threads in all my days on these forums. Over the years I have searched for this thread on many occasions in vain. It was a tremendous help with lots of great ideas.
Yeah i like this thread
I'm a perfectionist so I went back and cleaned up my example. Hopefully you can hear what I'm trying to do with it. It's really hard to put it down into words so I'm not even gonna try. I tried to go back and forth between on-beat and syncopation with both basses.
The other interesting thing although you'd have to check out my sequencer to see it, is that the basses are setup in 6 bar phrases, not 4. Not sure how that happened, but the 4 bar phrasing didn't fit at all and sounded weird. Needed the extra two bars on the root. The definition of syncopation might hold some clue...
________________________________________________________________
For other uses of the same name, see Syncopation (disambiguation).
In music, syncopation includes a variety of rhythms which are in some way unexpected in that they deviate from the strict succession of regularly spaced strong and weak beats in a meter (pulse). These include a stress on a normally unstressed beat or a rest where one would normally be stressed. "If a part of the measure that is usually unstressed is accented, the rhythm is considered to be syncopated."[1]

Also also, someone said that it's more of a "Techno beat."
Interesting...this might explain why "Oompa loompa" is associated with trance eh? Those genre specific identifiers are funny things.

this one has probably been said, but it's my variation on the full-on psytrance bass.
k---k---k---k---
-xxX-xXx-xxX-xXx
in psytrance it goes like so...
k---k---k---k---
-xxX-xXY-xxX-xXx
or
k---k---k---k---
-xxX-xXx-xxX-xXY
(Y= X#)
probably been said but still cool.

I like a lot of basslines but something with the texture in this one is just so organic. No idea how to get that feel.
As far as midi goes (nothing to do with vid) a common pattern I do is:
-X-X-XX--X-X-XX
X-X----XX-X----X
Keep the clap spaces empty and depending how you mix it it can roll rather nicely.
horrible track lol
well regular tribal pattern, but I like it, how it is pumping....
WOW just stumbled upon the mother load of threads. Basslines have always been a problem for me. Can never seem to layer synths well enough to find a good sound to call my own. Anyone on here still active? Would love to shed some light on the modern sounds of basslines in 2013 (and NO i am NOT talking about that electro trance garbage such as HeatBeat or Chris Schweizer)
Resampling cool sounds I make are giving me sweet basslines these days.
