Choose “PRESET D-8” . The sawtooth wave is selected.
Since bass involves low frequencies, turn the [PITCH] knob on the OSC section all the way
to left, and set to (-12). Now the sound is lowered by 1 octave.
Turn the [CUTOFF] knob on the FILTER section all the way left and set to (MIN).
The sound becomes inaudible.
Let’s create the initial attack of the sound. Raise the [D] slider of the FILTER ENV a little.
Let’s determine the timbre of the sustained note. Raise the [S] slider
of the FILTER ENV a little.
In order to achieve the effect of sliding over the frets while holding the string down
(glissando), press the [SOLO] button.
Slightly raise the [DEPTH] slider of the FILTER ENV to determine the overall timbre.
The attack is weakened, and sound will be darkened.
Press the [SLOPE] button and select -24dB. The core of the sound is retained,
yet it sounds a little darker now.
Turn the [RESONANCE] knob and add a little bite to the sound as you like.
Press the [FX ON] button.
Turn the [TIME] knob in the EFFECTS section all the way left to (MIN).
Turn the [DEPTH] knob and fatten the bass timbre.
