Once you’ve recorded it, let’s tweak the sound a bit in the Filter section:
1. Click the Type drop-down menu, and select a filter. Let’s try working with
the Low 4 type.
2. Click and drag the Cutoff and Reso (resonance) knobs up or down until
your bass sample sounds good to you.
3. Click and drag the Amp Atk (amp envelope attack) and Amp Rel (amp
envelope release) knobs up or down. These control the overall level
characteristics of the sound.
Do you want to add an effect? Do this in the Keygroup Inserts section at
the end:
1. Click the downward triangle (T) in the Insert 1 drop-down menu to
show a list of effects.
2. Click the Internal Effects group to expand it.
3. Select an effect type for your bass line (e.g., Chorus 2-
Voice).
4. Click Select to confirm your choice, or click Close to
cancel.
5. To adjust the settings of the effect, click its name in the
insert slot to open a window that shows its parrameters.
6. To activate or deactivate all keygroup insert effects, click
the On/Off button in the upper-rigth corner of the section.
So far, we’ve created a simple drum sequence and a bass
line to go with it. Repeat this process to create a second
sequence.
