Three Octave Bass complete settings

Back to the build

Use Operator → Saturator. A, B and C mix directly into the output; the driven filter and Saturator are On. Values for inactive modules remain listed but do not affect the sound.

Instrument global settings

Use Operator in Live 12 Suite.

Set Operator to Voices 1, global Retrig Off, interpolation and antialias On. Center pan and keep both pan modulations at zero. A, B and C use Saw D with frequency quantization On and Fixed Off. D, Glide, LFO, Pitch Env and Shaper remain Off.

For the A, B and C amplitude envelopes, set End −∞ dB, Attack Slope 0%, Decay Slope 100% and Release Slope 100%. Keep envelope time/velocity scaling at 0%. These controls supplement the tables below.

The Fine settings use Operator's own units, not cents. Keep the −24 st transposition and 100% filter keyboard tracking together with the displayed cutoff.
