Hello again,

I've been playing with the demo of Tau pro for the past couple of days. It sounds sooo wicked im gonna order it right after this:) Can you please tell me if the Tau Pro:

1) is suited for producing RnB, 2step and acoustic type basses?

2) will there be any more Muon software synths created for making basses in the future?

As you can gather im a total beginner with synths in general, all those knobs kinda scare me..hehe. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" /> .. i always wondered, do you require a maths degree in order to create synths?..and which programming language does Muon software use to create their wicked stuff?

Thanks

Tau Pro doesn't have ADSR envelopes so it's not possible to shape the sound like an acoustic bass.

But it's nice and simple and approachable. Tweak and go.

Tau Pro is sort of techno-tinged, but since RnB/Garage etc. often use meaty sub-basses you can get some very useable sounds from it.

Try this - put Osc1 on Saw 1, Osc2 on Sine. Set the balance so there's more of Osc2 than Osc1. Then, set Q to Off, envmod up a fair bit and cutoff down. Fiddle with the decay till you have a punchy, gut-wrenching sub bass. Then fire up SR202, load the Garage kit and start shakin'
:-D

To answer your other questions, Muon synths are developed in C++, and no-one here has a maths degree. As for me personally, I have an MSc in Software Engineering and a BA in Business Studies. However I count my fifteen years experience as a musician to be much more important - you can't learn to listen properly in college, after all!

Cheers
Dave
