Boss GT-1B bass synth

[Rogerio Freitas]

Hello to all. 
Is it possible to recreate the bass synth sound of the 80's songs like Madonna, Communards, Pet Shop Boys, etc. on the GT-1B?
Thanks

 Not really, the synth section on the unit is very limited and (as it is replaces the bass signal rather than augmenting it) has fairly poor tracking. That said, when covering something material girl I would use and OC-2 or similar to get close. The GT-1b has a great OC-2 sound. If you solo the -1 octave, add a bit if compression and maybe a bit of filter and you’ll get in the ballpark.

If you really want to sound like an analogue synth, best thing to do is (as said by so many in the know on this forum) get an analogue synth. Something like a Novation bass station 2 or Moog little phatty will easily cover 80’s style synths like you mention above.

Thank you my friend. I will try

My request to add the boss gt1b to this sharing site has finally been accepted. Now you can insert and share our patches and request them from users all over the world.

I don't hold out much hope. The Roland site let's you share patches and to date three or four years after it's release I think there's only five patch libraries submitted.

Boa noite Mr. Freitas!

Yes, indeed recreations are always possible through possibilities. As music has no barriers you freely achieve much more with the GT1b synth approachments. Here some of my personal experiments from it. I acquired mine last week.
