If you want a good sounding sax, take the Yamaha VL-1 or a rompler ;)

Depends on the Waveforms you ringmod, sometimes even a negative Oct settings are 
nice. When it comes to ringmod additional +7 or +5 semitones are often nice...

As I said, this depends on the waves you ringmod, when taking resonant waves or a 
Oct 0 with a slight detune resonant can be fine too...

Depends on what kind of FM basses you're looking for, since FM synths are capable 
of quite different basses...

Well, I rather prefere using the copy section to add slight differences between 
the oscillators...

I guess you checked my Sax and DX basses... ;)

To be honest, no... but the DX can't do Casio CZ rubber basses that well 
either...  ;)
