TrenBeats.com said:Sampletank & Sonik Synth both have a few nice sub bass sounds.

Best Bet would be Kontakt - Native instruments Sub Bass is Great in that Synth
GJOrange said:You can just use the tone generator in Kontakt to make pure sine waves for sub. I agree that Kontakt is excellent for this.
My other favourite is Novation V-Station which you can pick up for about 30 quid now.
Getting good sub is more down to skill than the equipment used.
I usually layer two bass sounds for it.
In V-Station I like to take a sine or square wave on the first oscillator.
I use the filter to roll off some top.
I then play a really low note and bring up the volume to where I want the sub to be.
Then I use the second oscillator to add in a little bit of triangle wave to add a bit of grit.
After playing in the bass line I bounce it to audio and duplicate it.
Now I have two identicle audio tracks.
On the first I roll off (with eq) everything above 100-150hz.
On the second I roll off everything below 150-200hz.
I mute the first track and just manipulate the second track with effects, just experimenting really. When I like the sound I slowly bring up the first track until the sub is at a good level.
You may have to play around with the EQ roll offs a bit.
Any synth, either free or paid for, that have sines, squares, triangle etc are capable of doing this and sometimes the cheaper sounding ones can be better for this application.
Hope this helps.
The key is to make it sound like it's all one sound.
It leaves you with a nice clear low end with a nice crunchy top.

Mattman04 said:^Yes, but a bad idea to shell out that kind of money for sub bass.
Sub bass can be made with any number of free subtractive synth vsti.
