Synth programmers or Future Impact users - help

I need to get something that approximates the bass synth sound from "Material Girl" by madonna from my Future Impact pedal. Does anyone have any settings suggestions? I'm really new to synth sounds and it's blowing my mind with all the different possibilities but I'm yet to get close to what I want.

Something like this: https://soundcloud.com/tom-caswell-3/material-synth

Any help massively appreciated.

Have a look at [url="http://websynths.com/"]http://websynths.com/[/url]

Bass preset 004: Far Bass without the reverb sounds like a similar sound, maybe you could use those settings as a jumping off point?

well did it work???
i have been looking for that 80s synth bass sound for years. i have tried every bass pedal but still cannot get it.
all i want is a bass sound used by all the 80s songs MJ, Madonna, everyone!!
i have spoken to all the pedal makers and they just look blank at me and then show me a Chris W fart noise!!
i have tried a future impact but yet again lots of farts???!!!

if someone made this sound or a pedal that make synth bass sounds (not farts) but ones you could use live when covering synth bass part , then they will be a very rich man!! and no to play a synth, I'm a bass player. sorry for the rant but just got back from bass show and all of them give me the blank look!!

I'd start at the Bank 2 Prog 0 program on the FI and adjust the parameters. I set the Note Off to 1 then found most variety adjusting the dynamics and cutoff values. I'm using a Jazz bass, all pickups and tone fully open.

It's the same kind of sound I'm after too. Synth bass but no fart or squelch.

Right so the nearest I'm getting right now is by using Bank 0 Prog 1 with a few tweaks (dial envelope depth back to 2, note off level to 1, attack to 3, decay 8, dynamics 3, cutoff 6, resonance 2 and balance 2) and then using an mxr bass preamp later in the chain with a bass boost and mid cut to fatten the whole thing up. It's far from perfect but its at least useable in the mix with the band. I also use the same setting for Lets Groove by Earth Wind and Fire which really shows it's not quite the 80s sound I have been chasing. I'll keep looking and if anyone finds a way then let me know!
