Subject: authentic bass line

From: "Gerry" <tam_ger@...>

Hi fellow an1x r's,
I've been trying to get a decent bass sound from my synth but when
compaired to a person playing it's far from good.
My limited knowledge of this allows me to describe the sound in the
following manner:

If you can imagine the downward stroke of the thumb on the bass
guitar string, a sharp attack with a sustain followed by a smooth
release, ahhh sounds nice and groovy. Not sharp like some bass
lines, but smooth and mellow.

Now apply that to the an1x and what do you get :( yeah i'll be
sampling cd's instead.
Has anyone got a decent patch that i can download to pull apart and
learn from, or some suggestions on how to best approach this?

Thanks all

Gerry
