help creating trance patch with a bass drum

[simchaleh]

Hi there.
I need some help with my MicroKorg. It’s the origional microkorg model.
Im trying to create a trance track similiar to the infected mushrooms trance sound. And i also would like to add a bass drum sound playing every beat on the 1,2,3,4.
Can i make a patch like that, or edit an existing patch to add the bass drum sound?
Any ideas?

Hi,

I'm not familiar with the infected mushroom trance sound, but you can always start from an existing bass drum sound and start to tweak it.
It's not clear which board you are using though as this group is for mK, mKXL(+) and MS2K.

Will it sound exactly the same? No. Can it be pretty close? Probably yes.

Have fun.

Oops. I forgot to write which board. I’m using a micro korg. (Just edited the original post now to include that.

I can find any bass drum sounding patches on my micro korg

Oops. Indeed. I listened very quickly through all the factory patches of the mK ported to the mkXL and indeed... no real drum sounds.
At the risk of being a bit too optimistic (I very quickly went through the list at very low volume due to kids sleeping and no headphone at hand), I would start to make something from the following factory presets:

A.21 (8 ) Auto House
A.77(54) Noisy Hit
B.27 (78 ) Short Synth Bass
B.46 (93) Nu Skool Drop

Most of them need a drastically lowered sustain (set it to 0) volume and a reduction of the decay and release of the amp eg.
You can also get some ideas from this web page https://microkorgcookbook.tumblr.com/.

Have fun.
