The ultimate fat bass

The ultimate fat bass

2006-01-06 by danfarmer19732003

Hi everyone. 

I new to the doepfer system and have just purchased a few racks for
doepfer modules.

I currently only own one module at present. ( A-106 )
My mission to is create the ultimate, fat, sticky, thick and warm bass.

Can anyone help me in choosing the right modules to get started in my
mission?

I was wondering if the following module would also be good for bass...

A-113  	Sub Harmonic Generator

Hey thanks for responding...

This would be a midi driven synth that I would be creating.

Re: [Doepfer_a100] The ultimate fat bass

2006-01-06 by tkrakowiak

Hello Dan,

Would this be a midi driven or standalone bass drone? i own 106 and it can
do some preety good bass on its own. try main freq @ 1-2, HP @ 0 or slightly
to the left ('-' area)
clip it downhill, and then add resonance but not too much (try 7-8 depending
on your taste)
now this is preety straightforward thing , it would be nicer if you had a
vco, wavemulti in conjunction with a136. i'm not sure about a113.
good luck
t

Re: The ultimate fat bass

2006-01-06 by levka0

Hi Dan,
The A-113 is a very nice & versatile module but I think it would be a
kind of 'overkill' to use it for basses only.

I would choose an A-115 combined with an A-110 and A-111;
It is all very personal, but IMO the A-105 and A-108 might be good
filters for bass sounds, besides the A-106.
The A-109 might also be quite good.

Kind regards
Joost

The ultimate fat bass is vintage Fender Precision. OK, I am not funny.

Can't comment on the others mentioned but the A105 is incredible for 
bass sounds. Regards, Ingo

Re: The ultimate fat bass

Hi.
Not sure what your budget or knowledge is of modular synths is but if you are starting 
from scratch here are a few ideas for the "Ultimate fat bass". You did say you had a "couple 
"of racks empty and ready!

I would think you will need at least 2 VCO's . The A110 s are great but the A111s 
are more stable pitch wise. 
 I wouldn't bother with the A113 . The A115 is good enough for what you are doing. Both 
these modules need a pulse width sound to get the octaves though. The best deep dubby 
bass sound comes from a simple sine wave. So you will need to mix the vcos before or 
after filtering.The sine wave won't need to be filtered unless you are adding resonance to 
the sound.
  If you only wont one filter and have the budget I would get the A107. but A128 fixed 
filter  bank is great for fine tuning certain frequences.
 You will need at least one LFO if you want your sound to have a bit of movement . You 
can then control the pulse width modulation of the VCO . I would also recomend getting a 
180 multiple connector for splitting the LFO around your modules.
 Oh ..You will need a VCA 131 and an A140 ADSR. And probably a 138 mixer but you 
could do with out that if you only have 2 VCOs

How are you getting your midi to the VCOs? 

I think buying Doepfer modules is like getting a Tattoo......Once you get one you have to 
get another ...then another....It can be very addictive and if you have the budget you wont 
be able to stop adding!

Good luck and have fun!
STUART
