You do know it's forbidden to share such links on the forum?
It's not free, but almost: http://www.minimalsystem.com/moogiinfo.html

Yes, because most people making techno use a bass guitar. Today's award for "standard-mnml.nl pointless and unhelpful" reply goes to you.

A bass guitar is far from the best tool for generating sub bass - as you well know - but why waste an opportunity to re-tread that tired and frequently hypocritical old mantra on here about "just making / playing / recording" everything from scratch, even though that's largely irrelevant to how most people are actually making electronic music.

Give it a rest.

Just made me think out the box a little here. Wonder how interesting a bassline youd get via a guitar midi controller playing a synth bass? Would obviously depend on your playing but maybe theres something a little dif in it. Im not great on guitar but also, how about a martenot type controller for something different? You can get those eowave ribbon controllers with midi and usb output.

Having said that, youd prob do all the above with programming.

Sorry got absolutely nothing to do with the topic.
