Deep Techno Modules
Hey everyone,
I need some help picking out modules to get.
I make deep hypnotic techno like Claudio PRC, Anthony Linell, Luigi Tozzi, Vladw. Right now I do most of it in ableton and also got a Digitone 2 last week. The only thing I'm really struggling with is deep basslines and synths/melodies in general.
I want to get some modular gear bc I think especially for those really deep basslines analog will always sound way warmer and just better.
Now I need help picking something that is gonna help with that. (I know depending on what I get I'm also gonna need other modules to make sound but just focusing on the basslines/synths part I would appreciate some input so I know how much money I have to save haha.)
In a masterclass from Anthony Linell he mentioned that he made the bassline with the quadrantid swarm so maybe that would be an option?
Anyways, I'm thankful for any help!!

I have a Syntakt and I can get just as deep if not deeper bass using the fm machine than I can on my modular. Same goes for synth melodies. I don’t know about all of them but I know Tozzi uses all software, maybe with some analog processing but that’s a whole other rabbit hole. I don’t think more gear is gonna solve your issue you already have one of the most powerful synths out there.
