for clean bass fm synthesis definetly rules the roost for me. operator is probably my favorite for this, mostly because i have used it for so long that it is really intuitive for me to use. but for the dirty stuff you really can't beat a 101, pro-1 or ms-20 they are just so damn grimey.

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.

you dont loop it. you mix one waveform with another, so where the first one has valleys, the second one has peaks. ok thats enough secret giveaway.

edit: maybe more when im on drugs the next time

I'm kind of a throwback artist, so if it sounds like a Roland-303 it's a bassline. for this d16 Phosycon kicks ass. The nepheton is good for 808 kick/tom sounds, before that I was just using samples. Massive always crashes on my computer and I always found it too tempting to use the ready-made patchery. keep it simple and stick to stripped down synths/bass freqs?
