I think getting crystal or fat bassline is up more to your envelopes,then your synth.
With my very limited experience,there is difference between good synths and bad synths for bass,because there are synths who cant make strong sounds in really low frequencies .I mean,put your hand near the bass opening,play like C0 in two synths on the same velocity and you will see that one synth is stronger then other.
Also,some synths just make mud in low frequencies.
Between those two things,there are synths that are standarts for basses,well ,like Silenth1,Cronox,and so on.If you want to make "crystal" bassline or "fat" one,I don't think there is much difference between bassline synths,the main difference is seting up correctly the envelopes.
For example,crystal basslines if I understand you correctly is simple bassline with envelopes that fastly drops frequencies,and are relatively high placed in piano roll.Fat basslines are basslines in which there is slower drop so you can hear the overtones which give the fat sound,and are relatively low placed.
It helps to layer basslines if you want fat sound,with similar characteristics but a bit different so it fattens the sound,I dunno...
Be warned ,that is a noob advice.
  From all the things I lost,that sandwitch cost me most :)

I think it's amazing how this whole bassline thing can stay a topic for so many years.
It's been a while since I checked in here, and still, people are discussing the same things.
I ended up finding out that you can do a great bassline with just about any synth which has good envelopes.
And personally I use trillian, little to no Eq, no fx. Thats it. just proper tweaking of envelopes.

i think it s cause lot concentrate on getting great sounding bass with just a kick playing, insteed of mixing it in a context of a tune with the beats and other sound playing...
in many tunes the kick bass in solo don t sound that great but we never hear it in solo so it dont matter, it s how everyhting sound toghther.. in a great mix soloing the snare or a random sound can sound so crap it s the magic of mixing..how stuff sound in solo dont matteras long as we dont hear them in solo
and that eteneral bassline quest can come from this ,i m not sure it s possible to get a really really great sounding kick bassline in solo that will work great in a mix too..
it would need to feed the full spectrum ... would take too much space for the other sounds in a context of a tune |
