synth bass

This short tutorial shows how to make nice house / electro bass sound with Novation V-Station VST Instrument.

It’s high layer bass sound – you can layer it with some subbass. Notice how FM Level Knob can dramatically change the sound. Also Oscillator 2 has volume set to 0 but still it affects an output sound thanks to FM (Synthesis) Knob

You can find this preset + whole sound bank for V-Station (and other synths) at vst-cafe.blogspot.com

Gary Wright – Love Is Alive (Midnight Special, 1976)

His band features a young Steve Porcaro {keyboards for TOTO, Herb Alpert, Pablo Cruise, Brothers Johnson, etc.} on synthesizers along with a rockin’ lady cowbell player, dual keytars and some synth bass.

Wright’s best known for his synth-heavy track Dream Weaver.
