Re: How to create an ABBA like synth bass from scratch?

Hello, I tweaked the bass a little further in "ABBA GmeGmeGme W.ns3f" at nord-stage-3-programs-ns3p-ns3pb-files-f32/abba-gimme-gimme-gimme-t20423.html#p137602 ; however if playing with a bass player, you may want to back off some of the EQ on the low end. You can use the program viewer at nord-stage-forum-f3/ns3-program-viewer-t19939.html to view the parameters, create it from scratch, and adjust as needed. Good luck.

Yes, just addressing a question jalexquijano also asked on the related Stage 3 programs post.

All good, I just wanted to brag with my knowledge of synth programming. And well... make people actually use the synthsection by themselves.

I agree fully, one only learns by doing; starting with a sound and turning the knobs to hear how each one changes it can be quite effective if folks take the time. In response to song requests, my programs often fall in the category of "here's something to get you started and tweak further". Your suggestions above should be helpful in getting to the bass sound desired. Take care.

You can download my program and then run the viewer (web version or downloaded version) to view the file.

Marc Larochelle "My Keys To Music" put together a nice video for Gimme Gimme Gimme. A sample by Funk76 that I used for one of the programs is also highlighted. Here's the post with video: nord-stage-3-programs-ns3p-ns3pb-files-f32/abba-gimme-gimme-gimme-t20423-10.html#p159543
