Use Triangle I or II instead. You can download tons of preset for either one, get some great basses and save your CPU for z3ta+ doing complex pads or leads or whatever.

why not do what you'd do with any other synth? Use a combination of sine/triangle or whatever wave, low octave, hi resonance and low cutoff filter (or even a high bandwidth bandpass filter would do it.)

Have you tried playing lower on the keyboard or using the pitch tool? Z3ta+ already comes with quite a few pounding basses, are you sure you're playing them in the right octave?
