Using the modular to do Juno type chords

YouTube via darenager
"Just a quick demo of me making some Juno type chord sounds, the Bugbrand CTL-1 is sequencing each oscillator of the MFB OSC2, it is being clocked by the Blacet Micro LFO, the output from the MFB OSC2 is going into the A-106-6 filter. 2 Sections of the A143-2 are shaping the amplitude of the VCA and cutoff frequency of the filter. I did not spend too much time on it so the chords are a bit off and the sound quality is a bit crap, but you get the idea hopefully."

NOT NAMM: Free Hollow Sun Novation BassStation Sample Pack

Available at Hollow Sun's Freepacks page.

"Our featured download features some fantastic bass synth samples from the Novation Bass Station created by my Hollow Sun cohort, contributor and friend, Dan McCullough.

Released in 1993, the Bass Station was a monophonic analogue synth designed to emulate the Roland TB303 'BassLine' which had gained immense popularity in the dance music genre of the time. Whether it succeeded or not is debatable but the Bass Station was (and still is) a pokey little analogue monosynth - in fact, the 'Bass Station' monicker did it no favours because it was equally good at leadlines and other synth duties.

Lacking extensive facilities (basically just two VCOs feeding into a lowpass resonant filter and into an amp with two ADSRs and a single LFO to service them - no noise generator or fancy modulation) meant that it wasn't a terribly flexible synth (unlike, say, a Pro-One) but it made a good sound and one that's been captured well by Dan.

What's on offer here are 30 excellent synth bass sounds that cover a wide range of genres, uses and applications and which Dan has looped and programmed to perfection. Nothing fancy - just 30 solid synth bass sounds that sit nicely in a track.

But they cover the full keyboard range from C1-C7 and are therefore equally as useful as fruity analogue polysynth sounds and lead lines and the raw samples are open to much abuse by the more adventurous amongst you.

And in keeping with the Hollow Sun ethos, all the sounds have been carefully optimised by Dan to have minimum impact on RAM and disk storage and CPU strain making them fast and efficient"
