I have been trying to write good bass lines that replicate a psy trance style. Such as Melicia, Void, and some others. And hints on what VSTi they use? Or any recomendations?

I'd try TBL bassline or Absynth...
Basically every 303 style instrument will do...
just create some 1/16 arp....
Most common PsyTrance/Goa Tracks work like this.
Forget the Off-Bass. It' s good for Trance but sucks in psy...

and don't forget to make it scream (dist, cutoff, high resonance)

Basti

You probably wouldn't expect it, but a LOT of the 'full on' psy basslines are the VB1.

I Know you're right because a lot of my friends are known trance groups... how did you know that ?

Everybody knows that. It's not a secret or anything.

While everyone will say VB1, I must also reccomend Vanguard or Vanguard Lite and also Plasticz. Both are more unique and generap purpose than VB-1.

Use VB-1 if you want to sound like every full-on act out there.

Isn't contemporary full-on by definition "that which sounds like everybody else"?

Because a lot of my friends are known trance producers also

To all others, sorry, I didn't mean to act like it was some super secret or anything - just wanted to point it out for anyone who didn't know. When I first found out, I was quite surprised that such a simple synth was used for these 'full on basslines' so many people are after.

And personally I don't use the VB1, as I find that type of bassline too generic a sound as Thockin & MaxC have pointed out... I produce progressive psytrance myself, so don't have much use for it. But if you're after that sound, give it a shot!

PSY Producers....
