Re: high pitched dubstep synth?
I made a similarish bass using albino, filter saturation 3 turned up fairly high, and lots of resampling!!
Otherwise you could try layering sounds, so have a low grit synth and a high one...

Re: high pitched dubstep synth?
flux pavillion definitely layers his sounds that much i can tell , hmm im using massive is there an equivalent for filter saturation in massive?
and yeah im talking about the you got to know / gold dust bass. so fucking sick !!!

Re: high pitched dubstep synth?
i can get the sound.... but it's the volume I have trouble on, no matter how much compression/limiting I apply I can't get a loud enough result without affecting the quality of the lead
so stumped on this one

Re: high pitched dubstep synth?
Also you could layer different formants maybe 

This. I basically hate anything with that "brutal electro" sound; it sounds all like HUGLAGHALGHALGHAL

Re: high pitched dubstep synth?
mod osc in massive go to the phaser add phade to the osc then turn thr tuning on the mod osc up to either 12 or 24 semitones 

Re: high pitched dubstep synth?
Not so sure about Flux's synth style but I made a very similar synth using thor that cookie monsta uses in "blurgh" and other tracks like that. I'm not sure about the science behind it lol so i'm just going to note the basics..? sub sine wave, any high pitched analog type sound, and a low chord/multiosc sound running through a shaper. i set thor's shaper to "rectify" .. what ever that means. open up the filter a little and it sounded mean. the shaper makes the sub rumble a little, which distorts the analog high pitch sound and makes it "gritty", and with that added low somewhat-crunchy chord sound on top of those it added to the grittiness. note: the chord sound shouldn't be too thick. sorry i'm not so good at explaining synths but i tried my best.

Re: high pitched dubstep synth?
You need a synth capable of FM between the oscillators.
Set one oscillator to frequency modulate the oscillator. (For instance, set osc 2 to FM osc 1).
Set the pitch of the modulator two or three octaves above the carrier. (The modulator is the one doing the modulation, in this case, oscillator 2.)
Set the mixer level between the two oscillators so you can only hear the carrier.
Either use a saw wave on both oscillators, or use a saw wave on the modulator and a square wave on the carrier.
Adjust the FM depth to taste.

Re: high pitched dubstep synth?
i've got some bass sounds that are a lil like dr. p
but i can't tell you how to make them
otherwise the cat would be out of the bag, wouldn't it?

Re: high pitched dubstep synth?
i dont think ocs can fm other ocs in massive can you? or am i just totally not seeing this right ? , what synth can do that?
Re: high pitched dubstep synth?
massive is subtractive synthesis. you need an fm synthesizer (FM8, Operator, etc)Benza wrote:i dont think ocs can fm other ocs in massive can you? or am i just totally not seeing this right ? , what synth can do that?
Re: high pitched dubstep synth?
Massive is not a classic subtractive synth, its more of a hybrid monster. it is not capable of FM, but it can do phase modulation (PM). PM is very simular sounding to FM.tylerblue wrote:massive is subtractive synthesis. you need an fm synthesizer (FM8, Operator, etc)Benza wrote:i dont think ocs can fm other ocs in massive can you? or am i just totally not seeing this right ? , what synth can do that?

Re: high pitched dubstep synth?
Come on guys, do your homework!
Massive is a wavetable synth. It also has filters which subtract/filter out the sound. You can use the 4th oscillator to frequency
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Tal-Elec7ro is capable of FM between its oscillators and is fre too.

Re: high pitched dubstep synth?
If they used Massive for that bassline, they most likely had some kind of ring modulation going on. 

Re: high pitched dubstep synth?
Theres a preset on Crystal what sounds exactly like it.
Watch crystal's downloads go up in the thousands.

Re: high pitched dubstep synth?
errr... scream filter + playing the same note on multiple octaves and some saturation would be my bet
Re: high pitched dubstep synth?
this, crystal is a fucking crazy plug but the interface is just not for me, I like massive more....but crystal is free and has alot of unique presetslegend4ry wrote:Theres a preset on Crystal what sounds exactly like it.

but I don't use presets really, at least not for synth leads

Re: high pitched dubstep synth?
hmm yeah somthing with the phase and the ring mod do you think they keep the wave types simple for that kinda sound ? like just squares and saws?
