Thanks Jase!

Yeah, they are more on the dark side of Bass aren't they.

By "resampled" I mean I first recorded single notes from the Nord and also the CS straight into the sampler (gives a certain quality recording straight into the sampler inputs), then I layered the sounds in the sampler and played the result recording that into the computer. Then I resampled the combined result back into the sampler again so I could use it as a single layer. After doing this a number of times I would mix and match the best results in the sampler.

By recording, sampling, resampling and re-recording it's a good way to get double passes of things like compression, EQ and filters. The end result is playable live (as those you hear there are played live), but it's a real headfuck.

I did drive the desk hard and put a tonne of output gain on the Emu too I should have said, but a heap of the characture comes from the VC filters/saturation stages - without the VC these sounds just would not be possible. And without the filters and the bass on the CS10 I couldn't imagine getting close with any of my other gear.
