Common Rob Papen SubBoomBass II Virtual Bass Line Synthesizer Questions
How do I configure SubBoomBass II to receive MIDI from my external MIDI keyboard or DAW?
In your DAW's settings, ensure SubBoomBass II's plugin instance is selected as a MIDI input destination and that your keyboard's MIDI output is enabled and routed to the DAW. Then, within SubBoomBass II, check the 'MIDI Learn' section to manually assign controls or simply play notes to trigger sounds.
Where are my saved patterns/presets/kits stored, and how can I back them up or share them with other users?
User presets, patterns, and kits are stored within a folder managed by SubBoomBass II, typically in your user documents or application support directory (location varies by OS); you can export individual presets/kits or backup the entire folder to save and share your creations using the built-in browser and load/save options.
How do I start creating a bassline using SubBoomBass II's sequencer?
First, select a sound or kit. Then, engage the sequencer by pressing the 'Seq' button, and use the step sequencer interface to input notes, adjust velocity, and apply gate effects, experimenting with different lanes for various parameters within each pattern.
Why is SubBoomBass II not producing any sound even though I'm sending MIDI signals?
Ensure the main output volume knob isn't muted, the 'Bypass' button isn't engaged, and that the correct MIDI channel is selected in both your DAW and within SubBoomBass II's settings; also verify that the gate time on your steps is not set to zero.
What's the difference between the 'Dual Oscillator' mode and other modes in SubBoomBass II, and how can I use it to create complex sounds?
The 'Dual Oscillator' mode allows you to layer two independent oscillators, each with its own wave shape, modulation, and filtering, enabling you to create richer and more complex bass sounds by blending and manipulating two distinct timbres simultaneously; experiment with different waveforms, detuning, and modulation routings for unique sonic results.
