| 1734.1 | Never seen one though... | WEFXEM::COTE | It looks like Fruit Loops out there! | Mon Oct 24 1988 14:58 | 6 | 
|  |     Pedal controllers aren't toooooo common, but Keyboard usually has
    an ad...  MIDI 'em to your favorite synth and away you go.
    
    ...and there's always a retrofit.

|  | A few months back I saw a few at Hampshire Music in Nashua.  They looked like
Organ pedals and were MIDIed.  NO sounds opf there own.
The price quoted me was ---> $500

|  |     There is a company called Fast Forward designs that makes something
    called the MIDIstep.  It has a setup of footpedals kinda like the
    Moog Taurus, about an octave and a half.  This is a remote midi
    controller for your feet.  It sends out MIDI info only (no tone
    generator).
    
    By the way, these are the same guys that did the software for the
    HR-16.

| 1734.4 | Bass for the masses... | MUSKIE::ALLEN |  | Mon Nov 28 1988 11:43 | 12 | 
|  |     I don't know if this should be in another note, but...
    
    I've been asking around locally to see if there is a way to get
    that big, fat, overbearing bass sound you hear particularly from
    REGGAE bassists.  You know the sound I mean, just the other side
    of distortion (yeah!).  I have yet to hear a factory patch that
    comes close and layering still doesn't quite get me there.  Is it
    possible to get this kind of sound in MIDIland?
    
    Starving for bass-nourishment,

      I use the "round wound finger bass" chip in my MIDIbass. Pretty
    boomy, not much on harmonics, and definitely loads up the bass.

|  |     Sorry Charlie,reggae bass sounds man-ja got to get da ganga-along
    with a rack (figure 400w per ch.!!!!!!)and as many 18"woofers as
    you can fit on your stage!that with a fender jazz+roundwound strings
    will give the fattest reggae sound you've ever heard----not feasable
    for me though!

    Re: .6
    
    I get along fine with only 220 watts and a single 15, but for *live*
    most of the sound *is* in the amplification.
    
    For studio?  Get rid of almost everything above about 1 to 2 KHz,
    boost in the 100 Hz range and compress like crazy.  With that kind
    of tweak, you can use almost any bass patch you have that sounds
    remotley like an electric bass.
    
    If you want the sound straight out of your synth, good luck.  Try
    closing down your filters quite a bit and have a good sustain level
    on your envelopes, I guess would be somewhere to start.
