This is my idea, and I am more and more sure that this is the way!:

Equinoxe 7

I can't get the portamento to work as I want to in Reason 4.0, but I am sure the MatriSequencer and ARP 2600 is able to do it :)

btw the high tones in the background is played the same way, with this pattern:

(yes 24/16th :o)

Both in the beginning and the more melodic part after the first verse.

There are no vibrato, the effect is done with Legato Portamento.

Hmm ok, I haven't heard that, Pitch up?? Sure it is not pitch down?

It is a problem in Reason 4, because the only way I can control the notes via the sequencer, is by controlling the oscilator frequency, så the portamento and other things do not work.

But I am sure this is the way a lot of the basses is made:
EQ4, 5,6,7
MF 1,4 - the bass sound, not the synth bass
