In this video from PluginBoutique.com - DnB's production guru Safire shows us how to get some decent bass patches happening with the Arturia Mini V, and how to layer these together to form a simple but effective bass arrangement for a DnB track he is working on.

What is the Arturia Mini V?
The Mini V is the reproduction of the Minimoog, probably the most famous synthesizer ever. It offers all the possibilities of the original synth, plus a new generation of innovative features taking the initial design to a new level.

From the star ship funk lead lines of the 70’s, to the gangster whine of mid 90’s hip-hop, the ever present Minimoog has been making its phat presence felt for over 3 decades. In partnership with Bob Moog, we decided to reproduce the legendary interface with the same look and feel than the original because of its particular "mood", and because many musicians wish to use the same interface they used in the past.
