I have a JP8000, it doesnt really do it for me as far as bass sounds goes.
Thanks for the suggestions guys, will check out the juno 106, waldorf and mopho first.
cheers, |

| what are you talking about, the jp 8000 is the best sounding synth for bass |

At no point in this thread has M4B been "pwnd" yet. I stopped talking like that when I was 13btw.
I think the real issue here is like M4B said, you're a blatant ignorant liar. The whole forum knows you stick your in your jp I cant believe you are really insane enough to tell us that was a joke.
You pulled that off terribly imo.
BTW I own only 2 hardsynths and would not recommend either for bass. I have heard pulse demos a handful of times and it sticks out like a sore thumb for bass. Plan on buying it likely as my next synth. It is dense, rich, lush and unique. If you pulled your bfs out of your ears from time to time you'd know that. |

| You are selling it because no more men are willing to pay you to suck their cocks. Be honest for once just please already. |

| man this is tough, today I checked out vids on the juno 106, the mopho, and virus b, all are very nice, they didnt fail to impress in the bass department. I have to find a decent vid on the waldorf. Im starting to think that maybe getting something like the virus b or mopho instead of the juno may be a better option as far as reliability, parts, etc, goes? |

Yea, umm, I have the Jp-8080 and I like it, however it is not that great for bass and also I have 0 volume problems on mine. Works perfectly fine without a preamp.
In general you don't hear too many people say much about using the Virus Ti for bass, or at least I don't hear it, but, I think the Ti really works great for bass. I've gotten some of my deepest sounding tones out of that unit. But, hardware aside, if you want a great sounding soft synth for bass, check out A.C.E. http://www.u-he.com/cms/ace I tried it out a while ago and that synth was pretty wicked for bass sounds. (not only for bass sounds though) |

if you want bass layer a sine sub..
im going to make a jp8000 bass just for this thread.
also, jp8000 outputs die easy
also, jp8000 has an amp on top right.. turn that fully up.
also: heres a video i made 3 years ago! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNhtr72r-0I
bass @ 2:10
i dont remember for sure but i think i used jp8000 for the wobble bass here: http://soundcloud.com/eixx/roots
skip to 1:30... it has that loose square sound of jp8000 pulse |

i would not go so far to say you can't make bass. I even mentioned how you can do that cinema pulsing bass sound rather well but as an all out bass synth, I think you can agree it isn't really its forte.
HOnestly, it isn't hard to know if a synth will sound good for bass. Just listen to the pure oscillators without any FX or processing. If they sound full, ie just one oscillator , it will be good for bass. And of course the filter is important . SO mess with those two things. If they sound good, bass will sound good.
NI massive , i wouldn't really call a good synth for bass but for some reason , everyone is using it for that formant filter bass sound used in dubstep. It just so happens that the ossilators make a very fx processed bass possible but if you wanted a nice round pluck bass for trance, you would use something else.
The waldorf pulse is a tank. It is also analog. Monophonic but that is all you really need for bass. You could buy these for 400-600 about 8 years ago. Not sure if the price has stayed the same gone up or down. What i do know is that germans build things well.
And i have nothing against the jp 8080. It is a classic synth that defines trance. It is the trance machine. Dated but still. If you want to collect synths, everyone should have one. That was the holy trinity of the trance produer, The jp, the virus and the nord. Everyone had this trio. Almost every single arp lead for like a decade was either the jp or the nord mixed with the jp. I suppose later on the virus started making its way as the main sound source but the jp pluck sound is something no other synth really nailed, and that unmistakable dry pluck sound from the NR2 when mixed with the wet JP pluck , that is the sound you are hearing.

old track of mine.
lead is the 8080, + nord + virus. Pads virus and 8080, arp is 8080. Bass was 8080 and virus. |

| with just one osc most synths will sound the same.. espeically VA synths. its the filter, how they detune, whether the envelope curves are convex or concave or linear that starts to shape the sound uniquely |

| have to disagree. Korg ossilators in their modelling synths sound rather thin. Listen to a pulse oscillator on the Blofeld. The saw on the virus sounds great. They all use wavetable synthesis in that even a sine wave is not a sine wave but a table with values that mimics a sine but for some reason, they just don't sound the same. |
