Never really thought Albino was such a great bass synth, as it never really gets that oomph in the sound.
And when you turn open the filter a bit, it looses all of its deeper frequencies
agreed.

I'd say operator kicks some serious ass.

I think operator gets some unfair stick...

cant get fm8 to sound right tho.......
Usually FM8 needs compression to get strong bass lines, based on my limited experience using it (two tracks, to be released soon). --Kent

Cheers! Its an amazing synth, I use it for pads and thin sounds, but compression makes sense, any ideas how to get rid of the 'phaze cancelation' (i think its called), where the tone looses power intermittently due to the detuning of waveforms...?

its called phase beating, and you dont wanna get rid of it, for its the key to strong basslines.

Actually I get this problem a lot... I've resampled the parts that have the strongest points and loop those. Sometimes a bassline will totally kill itself and that sucks.
