paintvalleymusic Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I play bass guitar and keys in a country band. I'm looking for a smaller board to designate to playing realistic bass sounds while I'm playing organ or piano on my other two boards. Does anyone have experience with this board and think it will do the job? Thanks so much!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEB Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I wouldn't choose that tool. I think that is a keyboard best used for things like aggressive synth sounds. It does some decent VA. I've used the Bass Guitar sounds from the Motif library playing keyboard bass in country bands and thought they were fine. I would look first at a MX61. MX49 is a $100 cheaper. I would get the 61 it is about the same price as the Novation and the Yamaha has a decent 61 keyboard. I think it is a great piece for that price. The keyboard is a lot nicer than what Korg and Roland is putting on their lower cost products.

Ken Beaumont Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 +1 I agree the Ultranova is a cool synth, but not the tool for the job.

keyguy Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I use the Precision Cmp bass patch from a Motif rack and split my CP4. It sounds fine, especially through an Eden bass amp. I'm sure any of the MX boards would be fine, but the Motif racks are less $, particularly if you get the original one. YMMV...
