I've been playing electric bass for many years now and recently decided to purchase a Novation Bass Station II. I've enjoyed noodling around with it but haven't produced anything I'm satisfied with yet.

Aside from learning the sound design aspect, I was wondering what the best way to go around learning synth bass lines would be? As an electric bassist I'm used to just being able to google a tab but I haven't found any similar resources for synth bass yet. My notation reading also isn't great, however I would like to improve it so am open to practicing a lot more reading.

My main question is, where should I look for synth bass line resources? should I rely more on my ear or is there somewhere with some good tutorials and/or sheet music?

And then in terms of the sound design part, I've watched some useful videos. But mastering it myself, does that just come with time or again is there somewhere I should be looking for more lessons/advice in that?

​

Thanks!

Is there a standalone midi device that splits the midi input from a master controller/keyboard at a certain point and sends the midi information below that note to one sound engine and sends the midi information above that note to another sound engine? Just trying to get a setup so I can have the synth controlled at the lower end and the piano sound engine for the upper end. Right now I have a simple splitter that sends everything to both so I can layer just fine, just can’t split. And if this device does exist, will there be any noticeable latency?

Forgive me if my verbiage isn’t correct (not sure if this would be called a midi splitter, filter, or something else). I’ve seen this question asked in the past but the information I’ve got from those was either outdated, suggested a controller that supports this natively, or was not for a standalone solution. All info regarding even other considerations would be appreciated - thanks in advance!

Edit: issue was resolved for me here, posting for future reference - thanks!

I've been playing synth bass in our band for about 2 years. I've been searching for the right tone the whole time. The filter was always either too open, and I was competing in the same sonic space as the guitar and the fiddle, or it was too closed, and gave me a sound lacking any interesting character.

I read something somewhere recently about how Moog Synths and 1176 compressors were a classic combo. I found the MXR L76 pedal (an 1176 circuit in a stomp box). It's $129 new. It's awesome! It gives me the character I want without opening the filter too much.

Flawless performances aside, this bass tone has absolutely knocked me out. Any idea what was used? Or alternatively, how to get a similar sound with other gear / software.

Hi everyone! I’m looking for some albums or songs where a hohner bass (2 or 3) was used. Having trouble finding credible information. If you know some examples that would be great! Thanks!

What are the typical effects used on bass? Sat, Comp and Delay definitely, but reverb is getting muddy with bass and providing that the ear faces difficulties to hear stereo on bass, this also proscribes a lot of stereo effects.

What do you guys commonly use?

I’ve been trying to figure out how to get this certain synth bass sound for about a year, and I was hoping that someone here could help me identify it. The part that I’m talking about happens at about 2:50. The Synth player starts going crazy tapping the keys, and I have to know what this is called. Any help is appreciated! Parcels Gamesofluck Live

If you were standed on a desert island with just 1 synth (and the worlds longest extension cable) what would it be?

I play synth bass in my band. The other members provide guitar and violin. Unlike most people I use an EWI to control it. The breath lets me make a lot of organic swells and stuff, kind of like a cello or bowed bass, instead of the more normal funky plucky bass that most people play.
