C4 Synth to create MicroSynth sound?

I have an EHX Bass Micro Synth and use it with pretty much full sub-bass and octave, and like 75% clean and square wave. Don’t use the envelope filter at all.

Was curious if the C4 can recreate this sound well because the MicroSynth is just too intermittent and is so hard to get feeling exactly right.

I only had the C4 for a few weeks, but based on the quick sampling of YouTube I just did, I would say it's very likely that you can get those sounds.

The C4 takes a bit of finesse while you learn the language of the computer GUI. Recommends taking an hours-long dive into C4 videos and see if any examples pique your ear.

I searched in the C4 database and found this preset:

Hi @Noah Shreve both the C4 and Spectrum can get those octaver sounds and a lot more since you are not using the envelope. There are a wide selection of both sub and up octave tones plus the option of other intervals with the harmonizer.

There are some differences in how the envelope works and some sounds that are easy on the BmS are difficult to achieve on the C4/Spectrum
