My teacher is very pedantic about this and listens to the baseline very carefully, If I put the "on bass" on it means I have to play every chord with the required note at the bottom and that may not be in the most familiar inversion -Just for the sake of a couple of chords. I have at times muted the bassline and sequenced in my own which means I can vary the bass to my own liking. What do you think of this? No good for playing "live" I know but I am mostly concerned with sequencing for "backings" for my choir.
Jean, the fact that your are Wanting to create Baselines of your own show that you are very musically aware and that it can be "bettered" by using "your" own basses (bettered to suit you Jean) and that is very good and shows you have a good imagination and aptitude for music as a whole. I tried this on My KN1000 when I had this model (great in it's day, and still good, despite it's limited "note capacity” of around 6500/7500 notes, and the inability to copy notes without using up more memory. I played the Song "Nikita" (by Elton John), on the KN1000/Korg M1 and to get that professional sound to my bass, I had to sequence these lines. One could always stick to the default bass patterns provided by the keyboard…but I also felt that I had to add my own figurations to give it a more "professional" edge. Same with the drums too. The Fill-ins were ok, but not
EXACTLY what I wanted!. I love creativity -
Yes Bud, keep it simple, but let not one be afraid to get the sound THEY want...even if it only pleases the player(s)
Good luck Jean
