3 are just great in that rack, I have the sub 37 so not sure if to go for these but they do sound great
. which configuration do you have with the Korg SQ1?
Rolls eyes at first sentence - a lot of non VCO based synths are good at bass.
Juno 60, 6, 106, DX7, DX100, TX81z, Casio CZ1000/3000/5000 my V-Synth can do huge bass and I use an old E-Mu Audity 2000 for a lot of extremely bass heavy patches as well, not to mention several hybrids and synths like the Waldorf Xt-K for starters.
The Monomachine can also rock out some killer bass sounds too.[/quote]
i didnĀ“t say that DCOs are not capable of Bass, I also use Nord Modulars and an AlphaJuno, but the sound is more lively when the OSC is not synced all the timeā¦just guess that makes for a āwarmerā analogue Bass, only my 2cents, for sureā¦
Well I said it sounds a little bit lame, because the system seems to be running on the schedule, that you buy more mother 32 modules, that one will be not enough, and that you will fall into the same trap, as with euro crack.
My synthesis skills are fine, and I have build analog circuits myself. (Measurement devices for the LHC.)
Probably my message could be miss read.
The actual sound of the mother may be awesome, and I expect it to be, but it will probably make you buy more modules.
What a lot of people donāt realise is you can get a very close TB-303 sound out of these .Much prefer it over my bass bot
Two reasons:-
1: its a single VCO but a f@@king great one with saw and square (no other moog is like this
2:the sequencer is clearly heavily inspired by the TB-303 (my guess Amos at Moog :))
the sequencer in step mode is basically identical with the same accents and slides
The Minitaur has saw & square VCOs.
You can choose to use a single one by turning down the other.

I was responding to the bit that said āno other moog is like thisā, by pointing out another moog that is.

What about the werkstatt (CV extension)? Not as much option but still very cool and quit cheap. Very tempted to make it a sidekick of the A4!
In a room full of all kinds of gear, the Werkstat is huge, I cant see why the Mother 32 would be any less.
Iāve been wondering the same exact thing - Is the Mother32 good for bass? Having recently sold my Juno60 (Iāve had it forever and need something different for a change), I have some cash credit at my local synth store and am on the prowl for something analog, bass-y, and wonderful.
I keep thinking Mother, but then I start thinking Minitaur because it has two Osc. Iām Not even sure that I want to get into modular (too much math and too much cash), so the Mother might be overkill in that respect. Plus, I already have three Elektron boxes, so I donāt think I need anymore sequencers.
As I said, I had a Juno60 (single Osc analog), which could do some nice bass, but honestly became very boring pretty quickly. It was also hard to get the bass tones to sound good across a range of notes. Iād hate to find myself feeling the same if I got a Mother32.
If I really break it down, with the mother, youāre paying for all those patch points, and a sequencer. However, with the Minitaur, youāre paying mostly for the Oscās.
So hard to decide with all this amazing gear around!
Mother 32 is great for Bass and all other stuff as well. It is beavy, creamy, sweet and agressive. You can do so much with it. I do Acid and ambient. Very good for both. Highly adictive.
You can waveshape it as well if u patch saw to ext in. So u can mix pulse,and saw with the Mix knob.
So many possibilities.

that also works with the A4 ? if so, little tutorial for me please?
M32 will never be able to be as powerful on bass duties due to the simple fact that it only has one osc. The minitaur gives you two massive linear style oscillators that will destroy speakers. Interesting m32 is, but no match for the minitaur for most classic Moog bass sounds. I have both.
I love mine, the A4 guides it through all sorts of sonic exploration. FM potential matched with the cream filter makes it a powerful extra voice for all types of sounds!
Could you detail a patch exploring the fm?
Minitaur sounds so beautiful here. And for me saving presets makes it a better choice. When i donāt have preset saving capability i tend to wander less.

Yet to find a bass analog synth better than the Moog Sub 37 with a orange amp and b7k overdrave 
That would be a
The Hades has one oscillator from which two sub-oscillators are derived; one a single octave, the other two octaves below the primary osc.

Itās quite nice to tune the oscs to a 5th for example on the Minitaur.
