Microwave XT Acidic Trance Wavetable Basslines Pt. 1

video by Mason Chrysler

"In this video, I used a single bassline patch on the Microwave XT and quick midi pattern + cc automation I programmed in Logic which I then recorded at 132 BPM with different wavetables/waveforms for the purpose of noting how the different choices affect the overall sound along with which ones I may use within the context of my music. For a couple wavetables, the filter resonance (which I kept at around 109 I believe for these recordings, using the 12db LPF) tends to stick out a little much and could be dialled back a bit. I chose my favourite 8 results for this video. For part 2 I'll be using a different filter and more complex midi CC to really pronounce the wavetables - let me know if you have any requests!

I think my favourites are the simple Sawtooth as well as Fuzzsync and Sawsync1.
In order of appearance:
SAWTOOTH
SQUARE
K+STRONG3
FUZZSYNC
PWMPULSE
PWMSAW
PULSYNC2
SAWSYNC1

Thanks for listening! Ridiculous MWXT Photoshop motion made by me for the video :)
