[sdiy] Bass generator synth DIY

[Seb Francis]

First I have to say that the TB303 is capable of the most heavy powerful 
bass sounds with the resonance turned right down to minimum.  But I 
think for dub/reggae you are probably looking for something that has 
more of a bass guitar sound (rather than a square wave or saw wav sound 
that you will get from a 303).

Try a synth that has triangle waves, or maybe even something digital 
like an FM synth.  If the triangle/digital/FM bass sounds too clean then 
try adding a touch of distortion to add some more higher harmonics.
