Im having trouble making a good techy bassline so i thort id look into buying a new soft synth, I'm using massive at the moment but i cant seem to get the sounds out of it that i want and it would be nice to have a bit of variety, Im trying to make those low end bass lines/hooks does any1 know any good 1s?

example please

Operator is perfect for that. Really easy to program.

hmn, i would say just about every softsynth should do the job and massive is pretty good for subby basses

but if i would buy a new synth now - i would go for Zebra2

minimoog V

Operator is perfect and it's super tight!!!

An example of a bass i would love to replicate is the one most recognized in some of seb leger and Format B tracks

it sounds so simple but ive been trying to recreate it for so long and just cant nail it and its driving me insane!

any help would be wonderful lol

yeah operator or zebra2.5

Most definately the operator. Bring a sine together with a saw (sometimes a sine is 'nuf), add some filter (if there's a saw), get the glide going and you're all set!

ACE / REAKTOR

ACE would be a good choice for minimal indeed.
It's such a cpu pig you won't have a choice but to keep things minimal

Another plug for Discovery pro http://www.discodsp.com/discoverypro/

Am I the only person that uses this ?

although in 'sketch' mode it's still very good soundin'... and quite easy on the my cpu...especially for a monophonic sound

Agreed it sounds good, but it's still the biggest cpu pig I've ever encountered.
by a country mile...
