Oh and add some verb to the bass i'd probably send both mid and hi to a send but have an eq filtering out anything below 400hzish before it reaches the reverb i.e. eq then verb in the send channel. But if your wanting it a little thin or "airy" id hi pass up to 1khz.

right here's a little demo i just bashed out quickly, it uses 3 different versions of the same patch doing various things. Did it using the laptop speakers so god knows what it sounds like :lol:

Chewie you rule man!!!

i thought i knew ALOT about Massive. But was looking for new ways to use it. And this opened a whoile new door, it opened my eyes in different ways. Thank you so much, the first tune i make by combining this technique with my own i will name Chewie. You'll get the 320 :lol:

The filters are in series
i.e the sound/feedback circuit goes from filter 1 then to filter 2. That is why i have the fader down to have only filter 2 :wink:

Nice one man! I was thinking of posting up some more tuts seeing futures has started a NI massive thread. Anyone have any particular things they want to learn? I was thinking of maybe going into the more unusual things you can get out of the scream filter and how the freq shifter effect can do some interesting things, maybe something on making beats in massive aswell idk.

To be honest any Massive tut's would be greatly appreciated... I want to know this synth inside out! Still learning the whole synthesis thing, so it's a constant work in progress, sometimes I hear things in tracks that get me thinking 'how can I do that in Massive' but I don't quite have the technical prowess yet to create what I am hearing...

I dunno man, any tips, tricks and cool things that may not be immediately apparent would be welcome, also things that Massive may not be a 'go to' for, like the drums you mentioned, maybe FX, pads etc?

Also, how do I make Datsik bass :D

I'd probs leave it up to you since I wouldn't have known to ask for a tut on noise/comb basslines until after I followed yours. Thanks for doing it, helped me a great deal. One question tho, I didn't notice much difference in sound when adding the side chain LFOS, mebbe i did something wrong ? Still made a few filthy bass patches tho regardless.

Could be 1 of 2 things. Either the LFO range in green is not ranged out on the comb's damp parameter or the little "-" underneath the mod box has not been changed to an up or down arrow (I can't remember which direction , one sounds crap the other sounds sick) and the SC highlighted.

i keep noticing something everytime i fiddle with ridiculous amounts of feedback... at some point u dont need the noise anymore!?!?!?!

i mean it has its purpose whenever feedback is off..

but when its set to full... u could turn it of... does massive have a noise itself ahahha? :roll:
