Just want to know who uses what for basslines??? I use a microkorg(which i don't fully understand yet) I run the korg midi into the mp and sequence a bassline, however not sure how to layer the korg sounds. I think someone from this forum on youtube explained you need a "polyphonic" keyboard like the triton or some ish.

Some bass multi sample programs I use. Sometimes I use Reason, sometimes I use a sampled one shot with the 16 levels. Sometimes chopped and filtered basslines. Sometimes I use the low end of the sample. It really depends on what kind of track I'm working.

A one shot is one single note. It's quite hard to find clean bassnote's on vinyl.
I assign that sample to one of the pads and press the 16level button. There u can choose from 16 levels of velocity, tune, filter etc. Pick the 16 levels of tune and u have over an octave of bass.

safe, okay i figured you meant that or similar to like sampling one note of a bass tone and possibly dispersing it to 16 pads each pad with a different tone...

I use a Moog Voyager SE or my Studio Electronics ATC-1 for bass sounds.

You can always sample bass sounds from your MicroKorg and layer them on your Mp. You have 32 voices to play with...
That little Phatty is the bees knees my friend... and don't think I didn't notice those red pads
bad ass
