Bass sounds in X2

Is there any great midi bass sounds for X2? Thanks.

Dimension Pro, Rapture, and Z3TA + 2 have a ton of good, solid MIDI basses, as well as the SI-Bass.  If there's not one particular sound you're after, maybe combining 2 or more would work.  It depends on the style of song you're going to use it for.  Good luck!

I haven't explored much but I really like the Zeta+ Alembic setting as a real bass sound. I'm sure there are better ones but I stumbled across that one and was frankly surprised it was hidden in the Zeta patches considering how wacky most of those sounds are. It just... sounds like a bass.

I like roundwound in rapture a lot... just make sure to set polyphony to 4 or automate it in conjunction with automated glide to get some good variation going.  the basses in dimension pro have a lot going for them but you need to open up the sfz files to see what's going on. for example, this is one of the fretless bass patches... 
bb1-c5 are single-note samples, but the fun comes in starting at c#5 where slides up and down the neck on different notes are sampled, so it sounds better than pitchwheel bending, and f6-g6 are string snaps, which comes in handy for a bit of funkitude. ;)

Depends on what kind of bass sound you want. There are literally hundreds in Sonar (TTS-1, SI-Bass, Dimension, Pentagon...). You just have to find the one that's right for you. 

jbow

but I really like the Zeta+ Alembic setting

 
Is that the Bapu setting?

I never would have noticed it if it weren't for bapu. I actually wasn't expecting much but tried it for the lulz. Turned out to be really nice. I've got it in a song I'm working on blending in with a synthy/roboty bass sound.

THANKS BAPU!
