| the classic synth bass sound comes from a Moog, as you heard. As those
are very hard to find, then, as you heard, using a sampler to play back
some of the classic sounds is the only other way to go. However, one
of the elements that made the Moog sound so rich was the excellent
analog filter envelopes - gave the sound its 'sweep'. And many
samplers have crummy filter envelope generators If they have one at
all) - so you'll get a static, boring replica. However, E-mu's EMAX
I&II samplers have fully programmable analog filter envelopes with
good quality.
Any others out there ?

The W30 has Filters and also inbuilt Bass sounds including analogue
moog and other soundalikes. These can be filtered and swept to suit
your taste and requirements.
Thus with the ability to sample on top of this
and of course the drum-kit and sequencer you could have quite a bit of
fun. I certainly do...

| You might also consider a 360 Systems ProMIDIbass, which you should be
able to pick up used for a coupla-hundred-bux. This is a sample based
unit designed specifically for bass use. Unfortunately the samples are
in rom chips, which you buy and plug in.
Another option for that fat analog bass sound is an Oberheim
Matrix-1000. You can get a new one for about the price of a used
J-106 (which can be made to sound quite nice, by the way, if you're
willing to accept a limited range of usable note numbers), but it's
rack mount and requires external software to program. But you get
1000 (yes, one thousand) onboard patches, including minimoog clones
among the hundred or so bass patches.

| 2444.4 | What about the Casio VZ10M? | COGVAX::LABAK | | Fri Sep 21 1990 10:57 | 5 |
| Does anyone no if the Casio VZ10M sound module could be used
for bass sounds? Since their on sale for $240.00, I wonder how it
would compare to the Matrix 1000. Better bang for the buck?
Suggestions please.

The VZ10 sounds more like an FM synth than an analog synth. At the
closeout price, it's an ideal first synth.
Beware lack of future support, tho...

re .4
The Matrix1000 is capable of only one sound at a time. The VZ-10
can do eight.
The basses on the VZ, in my opinion, lack a certain punch/gusto
that the Oberheim is capable of.
Actually. the VZ doesn't really *sound* much better than a CZ,
imho.
