my point, was more for those that complain its difficult to get those sounds with absynth. that if thats the sound you want, there are plenty of options, you wouldnt buy absynth if you were wanting a bass synth.mholloway wrote: ↑Mon Nov 23, 2020 7:13 pmOr maybe you just have a very narrow definition of what 'analogue bass' means. Absynth can make huge, warm, dare I say 'phat' analog-style bass patches all day long. It's a wonderful synth for bass -- analog and digital, and everything else. No, the presets obviously don't showcase this, but it's true nonetheless.
Absynth is full of waveshapers. They are one of the key features of the synth's design. And they can do absolutely wonderful things for shaping bass sounds of all kinds -- from warm and rich to huge and ripping.
And then there's the little CLOUD module.... the 'mini' Aetherizer. A tool that, because people are so simple-minded, gets pigeon-holed as 'a thing you use for long stretched out ambient pads and soundscapes'. Except that....it can do so much more.
I've made dozens of industrial bass sounds using the CLOUD module and stereo-mode on the Osc. It's incredible.
People are such easy prey for simple-minded marketing. And then it spreads....as we see here endlessly. 'WHY THE F**CK' would I use Absynth for analog bass, you ask, incredulously? I'd ask you to question your incredulity. Why The F**CK wouldnt' I, is a better question It's a synth. It can do any type of synth-sound. It can do analog bass, even if 'it's a pad machine' is the popular description of it. I don't need to buy a synth with 'bass-station' printed on it to make quality bass sounds.
of course you can, if you wish too, and indeed make some awesome basses, but thats not where absynths uniqueness is, that is in the more spacey, pads/soundscapes. there, it does things others cant. this is why you would choose absynth above other synths, imo.
then yes, you may also use it for your bread and butter sounds too.
and im pretty sure i never shouted
that would be rude!
