[@forestyz512]

can i create ground shaking bassline for dark psytrance with the dark energy?

[@persimmonmangos7298]

lemme know how it goes,... am considering this synth vs. moog minataur myself. note, the minataur advertises itself as a bass synth.

[@forestyz512]

@@persimmonmangos7298 i still don't know the answer but a neutron model d is a really good synth for basses

[@edgodsall3740]

This guy is pure comedy haha..

[@SIXELAUDIO]

You’re also funny

[@HiEnergyMusic]

To me the Dark Energy sounds totally out of tune against the chords.

[@TheAtomicTom]

Yeah, I think tuning it first would have helped. He might have forgotten because his mind was focused too much on the production of the video

[@SIXELAUDIO]

Sounds good to me!

too much explaining needs more music
