I came up with this preset for our version of Be Thou My Vision and found myself using it for a lot of other worship songs-kind of like a catch-all patch. The micro synth tone sounds massive in this preset and the band (excluding the keyboard player, haha) will love it when you step on FS3.įS2 Little more lift and hair on the notes via a Klon-style drive Starts off very clean with a tube compressor and SVT amp with no cab, which allows for a big, direct-in type tone but with a ton of warmth. This preset is thick and meaty.įS1 Timmy style drive for some light breakup.įS3 Micro synth tone, disabling the cab to let the octave shine through There is an always-on tube compressor and EQ at the end of the chain.
#Microsynth bass preset Patch#
This patch also includes a micro synth style tone. SVT amp and cab tone with some good breakup replicating that famous overdriven woofy tone by using a couple drives. We hope these patches help you focus less on tone and more on worshiping the Lord Jesus Christ! The difference is that the Helix presets are mapped for Stomp/Snap mode. There’s two folders: One for the Stomp and one for the Helix. The Micro Synth tones floor me every time he steps on one! If you want to hear what these patches sound like in the context of a song, search Spirit And Truth Music on YouTube, Apple Music or Spotify.Īll patches utilize stock Line 6 cabs-no need to mess with IRs. Turns out, he loves the Line 6 stuff and has a knack for creating top-notch bass tones for the Helix/Stomp. He never expected to replace his entire pedalboard (even the EHX Micro Synth), as he’s always been an analog pedal guy. SY-1 is cool but if you want more than those preset tones you're screwed.My buddy and bass player for Spirit And Truth Music, Jeff Norris, created these patches when he was trying to move away from his old Tech 21 Sans Amp for amp modeling. If you're feeling adventurous then the C4 and Future Impact are the class leaders for bass. It's just a lot easier to play some of these parts on keys as they were written, and you don't have to worry about tracking issues or trigger levels, etc.
I use an Alesis Micron for the same roles. I'd say the easiest way to handle these synth tones is to get a decent little synth like a microKorg or maybe one of the Roland Boutique series. The "Sequencer Bass" preset is exactly how I want my bass to sound all the time. The special 24-pin cable costs waaaaay too much for what it is.īut it's four-voice polyphonic and sounds exactly like an '80s Roland synth. It craps the bed if you slap or play harmonics.
It doesn't track low notes particularly fast, so the trick there is to play higher and pitch the DCOs down an octave or two. It's huge and cumbersome, and the bass looks like a spaceship, but it does have some bad points, too. My favourite bass synth is the Roland GR77B, which is essentially a JX-8P with a bass as the controller. Most of the synth bass you hear on actual songs is in a support role, not searing high melody parts. They all have their good points, but I do find the focus on lead tones to be tiresome. I've used bass synths live since the late '90s with varying degrees of success, including the Deep Impact, Korg G5, FM4, Boss SYB-3 and SYB-5, SY-300, Bass MicroSynth, Future Impact, and C4. If you play bass into it, it does not output MIDI notes, so it won't work as a bass to MIDI converter, sadly. You can play the Future Impact using an external MIDI keyboard.
