How do I program the bass sounds in this intro?

Really classic house bass sound.





Classic bass sound

Great question, as this bass sound has gotten really popular of late particular in the Nu-Disco genre with cats like Tensnake.

Edit: i was wrong see phils answer :smiley:

Thanks for the tips, that is really helpful :smiley:



It’s so annoying, the bass sounds so simple, but I still have a hard time emulating it.


Dont forget that theres a hefty amount of Glide or Portamento on those 303 basslines.

They also have “Ties” in the notes, which are like a longer note essentially.

Overlapping notes with Glide will give you a little bit of that sound.

its the lately bass patch off the Yamaha TX81z or also called Solid Bass of DX7

Are there any good vst plugins that can produce that kind of sound?
