25 Keys / Bass
Hi everybody.
which keyboard you suggest for bass sounds, light and portable?
I think that should be enough 25 keys for this purpose... and you?
(in my current band we not have who plays the bass and I'm dedicating to the bass lines too, very funny... )
I have a Nord Lead A1 but I'd like something smaller, just for bass sounds. (I would use the A1 however for some solos)
My Korg SV1 has some split sound but I need to use it whitout splitting (the split point is not editable and is only for few sound combinations)
I have a 25 keys midi controller too but I will love to have a small keyboard with its sounds and regular keys dedicated for bass sounds.
Novation Bass Station II?
What do you recommend, maybe under 1000€?

Hi.
I'd think about the Arturia miniBrute.

A used Sub Phatty?

Re: 25 Keys / Bass
The Sub Phatty seems a bit too heavy for me. I was looking for something more portable.
Sure, having an original Moog would be great ... but I'm getting old and my Korg SV1 (which will never leave, I love his electric pianos and the Korg RH3 keys) is at the limit of what I can load.
Anyway thanks for the tip Orcoaffamato

Re: 25 Keys / Bass
I was about to suggest the Little Phatty which I use to play basslines live or its little brother SubPhatty. But as weight matters, the MiniBrute and BassStation are nice candidates.
That being said, provided Moog is appealing to you and you already have a 25 keys controller, you might want to consider the Minitaur.

Re: 25 Keys / Bass
Great choices
I know you love your sv1, you already have a controller, and you want a real synth.
Here is another idea : NE5.
It has B3 Bass, a sample library with synth bass, it "bi-timbrality" allows to split the board, or you can use your external controller for bass.

Re: 25 Keys / Bass
...in truth I use my controller with an old roland electric piano only at home...
I finally opted for the Novation Bass Station II, the most economical and lightweight solution (I think).
Right now I need only a small keyboard to play bass lines; for synth lead I still have my Nord Lead A1.
Thanks to all for the tips I'll tell you how the Bass Station II plays when it comes ...
