I'd like to know if there's any method around to emulate the sound of bass guitar.
I'm aware of a couple of examples by Andy Farnell for kind of acoustic bass sounds.
But can't find more specific examples.

I don't want to make a bass synth, rather would like to understand the methods by which an electric bass sound can be emulated.
The goal would be, then, to process muscle sounds captured by the Xth Sense so to loosely "sound like" a bass.

The muscle sound is between 2-45Hz, but pitch shifting (both tape and single side modulation) don't work well (at least alone) in this sense.

I'm starting from
- fast attack (punch)
- precise pitch (difficult to achieve 'cause muscle sound is a sum of inharmonic partials)
- notes triggering (this is possible with finger tracking in the Xth Sense, a bit dirty, but it works)

thanks!
cheers,
