How to make decent sounding bass in massive

[dalgo]

Ok guys. Three saw waves. one at + 12 - 12 and 0 respectively. on the first filter insert, throw in a comb. set all the knobs to left. go to the 3 envelope, and make sure the decay is at zero, the sustain at full and the attack at somewhere in the halfway mark. This allos you to get a sweeping effect when you hit the midi note, making that WHOOOOOOOAAAAAAA sound. On the oscillater wavetables, sweep through them untill you find an oscillater that does this on its own, such as meloformant. notice when you sweep the wavetable two points that make a nice sweeping sound, set the same envelope as the start and finish of those two points. Same with inserts, start at dry and sweep to wet.

You can even sidechain the lfos to this envelop to make the wobble after the sweep, also, set the same envelope to the Lfos amp amount.

There it is.

Have fun. Resample it, send it to another channel, eq with a high pass at 1000, downsample the lower frequencies, add distortion to taste


someones gonna kill me for posting this i just know it

Thanks for the effort I guess, I'm sure someone really appreciates this thread

New to massive and dont have access until layer tonight. Do you put +12 n first osc and do you filter this one only or all three. Does envelope 3 need to be dragged and dropped to another parameter? Are you sweeping the settings to find sweet spot of sound or so you can record the manual sweep and then resample?

decent tutorial although you dont say where you put envelope 3

[dalgo]

You apply it to everything.

Like say put it on all the wavetables, so it sweeps the wavetable sound, while sweeping the comb filters, the wetness of the distortion, and the filter cutoff

Screenshot would be helpful I think.

A video would be way better but a couple screenshots would be great still and easy enough to do :-@
