The Italo Disco bassline technique with an alternating octave bass generated by using a synth with the arpeggiator set to two octaves, can be very effective.
As I'm working on a sample pack with emphasis on Italo Disco and Synth-pop I try out different ideas. All live in the studio. Much of what you hear might end up in the finished pack due to be released later this year.

Growing up I listened to so much synth-pop and it's only natural that my own music takes inspiration from many of the acts I loved back then. I still love them and listen to them!

Howard Jones, Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, New Order, Erasure, Thompson Twins, Tears for Fears, The Human League, Propaganda. FGTH, Ultravox, OMD, Eurythmics, Duran Duran, Giorgio Moroder, Jean Michel Jarre, Jan Hammer, Alphaville, A-ha as well as loads of artists doing what is now called Italo Disco. And many more great acts like Nik Kershaw, Spandau Ballet, Wham, Dire Straits ++
