Hello
> 1) number of VCOs
> 1a) essential waveforms
1b) I prefer basses with a single VCO, but with waveform modulation. If
dual VCO is wanted, then you MUST have Waveform reset by the gate-on.
> 2) number of LFOs
Two is better, but one is ok; more important: The frequency must go up
to at least 3kHz - better 5kHz.
> 3) Filters
switchable 12/24 dB/oct
Feed the VCO sine direct to the VCA and introduce a balance control
between Sine and VCF-out.
Resonance should be controllable by an AD-envelope
> 4) Envelope Generators
I prefer the Moog Rogue style envelopes.
> 5) Noise
Not necessarily for a Bass-Synth, but ok, for sequences. Perhaps with an
additional VCA and decay-only envelope.
> 6) sequencer/arpegiator
Yes Yes Yes - SH-101!
> 7) Other odd and fun circuits (e.g. Electronotes Timbre Modulator)
Add an overdrive stage after the Filter (then you do not need a second
VCO!).
