here is how i usually work my basses either on the Virus or the Discovery2.2 which sounds like NordLead (and infected do have a nord btw, i don't think they make their basses on the cheesy bass station)
for trance, basically i do it this way:
- 2/3 saw waveform, the first at 12' and the sec at 0'
- sub osc to middle
- analog boost and eq !
- fast filter decay, 0 sustain and 0 release
- u can also add punch (not too much tho)
- use unison and set detune and panspread to 0, slightly detune the 2nd osc
- u can also sync the 2nd osc and alter its semitone by 1 to 7, this can also make a nice effect on the sound
- etc etc etc etc
Discovery has special envelopes, they are very agressive and fast, so setting the filter attack to 3 or 5 instead of 0 and very fast decay can make very nice effect on the bass sound.
When I use Discovery, i always add a second layer of sine wave behind the initial sound to make it deeper.
u can combine all these tips to get a unique sound, u can mix saw and square waves, too, PWM........... man u have so many choices
i'll do my best to post some patches i made tonight or tomorrw!
