Benny Benassi's saw bass: Access Virus C vs Waldorf micro Q vs Novation Nova

Trying to recreate a bass line from Benny Benassis 'Satisfaction' on my synths:
1. Access Virus C
2. Waldorf micro Q 'phoenix'
3. Novation Nova
Sequenced in FL. Also I use FL peak detector to automate bass volume to create that sexy 'pumping' effect. I use a basic saw wave with highpass filter and long tail reverb.

@buzzboxed Thanks! I like the fact that different people have different musical taste :)

Well done..Virus is my choice. I have the C myself. Did you make the patch from a

-start- up patch or is this a tweaked preset?

[graywolf2004ru]

@JonBot26 Thanks. I made it from start. It's not that difficult - it's just one saw oscillator. Filter balance is a key to make transition from thin to fat sound.

Great video. I liked the virus version best but micro Q and Nova weren't bad!

[graywolf2004ru]

@kb1629 Thanks! Mee too. Virus C has 3-band EQ, so I boosted low frequencies around 200 Hz. So does Nova, but low frequency is not configurable... I beleive micro Q would't be worse if I used external low frequency boost.

Less release and reverb and the sound is perfect :)

Thought the Virus was the best, but omg that filter on the Nova sounded sooooo nice.

The nova is really slower than the rest in the attack, but that is how I remember it also, beautiful for pads and strings and such though.

when the ebat kicks in take the reverb of the virus,

Access Virus C wins easily. Beautiful sharp crunchy bass sound that cuts through the mix like a hot knife through butter. Waldorf micro Q not bad either. Novation Nova sounds more like a soft synth to me.

Ooo... it's one of the pretty ones. I love that Chinese lacquer effect on the new Qs. Now I have to pay down my credit cards so I can get a Q+ Phoenix. That is a keyboard that a fashion designer would be proud to have in the living room. Gorgeous. Looks as good as it sounds, finally. The yellow and slate gray just weren't making it. The Nextel blue with the gold wasn't bad, but this is the only color scheme that is RIGHT. Yum. Me want.
