What parameters are being modulated exactly?

Sounds like an envelope on the pitch section of an oscillator. Don't know though, not as experienced as some.

It's defenitly not the pitch. It's on envelope controlling the cutoff frequency on a lowpass filter. Slow attack

Now my sound isn't as complex as his but I have the basic idea down. He also adds a bit more delay during the sustain portion and a bit of wet reverb during the sustain portion as well. Although he could be using a completely sepearate synth for the sustain portions. any ways, if you have any other questions about it, just ask. Hope this helps.

Perfect! Haha, thanks a lot, mate. Appreciate it

is there anyone that can give me any tips on how to make a bass like the few in this tune, for example the blop wob cant explain it anyother way really youll know which one if youve heard the track before.

can someone help me with the main wobble int his please, downlink also uses it in a few other songs. its that really airy/metallic wobble that comes in at 0:29

Knew I was wrong. Just made a synth with envelope on the pitch definitely not the same

Search datsik/ excision bass (don't mean to sound like a dick, but this is literally the best advice I can give). they don't sound the same but it sounds to me like theres a few different basses being used, all resampled reeses. I've made lots of reeses in massive, but I can't seem to get anywhere near this sound. But yeah try searching excision bass, because I know there's a bunch of info on general tips on how to get that similar reese. Also, search the grid on dogs on acid, Cuz these sounds are basically neurofunk reeses, and there's countless tutorials and tips on how to make nice reeses on DOA.

Hey quick question here

I'm wondering how to make the sound at 1:04 here

Soundcloud

and again at :56 here

Soundcloud

Is it just a sample? and if so anyone know what it would be called/where I can find it? If not, how is this sound achieved

It sounds like you're talking about the 8-bit sounds? that's just either square waves or a nice solid pulse wave thrown into an arpeggiator so it octaves up and down pretty quickly. Then slap on some reverb and other light effects to taste.

@Bussels, here you go
Try adding different effects, could get interesting I think
It's for massive, hope u have it

bit of a different question to most of the ones in here, but has anyone got any tips on Blawan's bass sound in getting me down.

comes in about 30 secs


I know its to do with the filter opening up over the notes and the notes gliding together, but i wanna know how he got the raw gritty sound of it.

I'm looking to make an arp that sounds like this:

The one that comes in around 0:36 until the drop I know it sounds like a square, but how would I go about getting that real nice arp? Any help would be greatly appreciated
EDIT:btw I realise posting C&S on DSF is a death wish, but I'm no real fan of theirs either (after the first album), and you can't deny these guys really know how to produce

Forgive me if I'm wrong but it doesn't sound as complicated as you say. I'd think you could get a similar sounding growl out of massive using a bandpass and say, a -12 saw and -7 wicked, modulation the cutoff and wavetable on wicked. Then add distortion of your choice, (lots of drive and some bitcrush should do it). Then I'd lowpass the whole thing and experiment with different filters and gliding notes. I admit though I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to synthesis, so I could be going completely the wrong way about it

I kinda like that track.

these chords are used for the arp:
A-C-E, Amin
F-A-C, Fmin
G-B-D, Gmin

1/32 speed arp, 3 octaves. Something like that

EDIT: Actually it is probably 1/32T or 1/64D. And I think also to add a bass note to the chords (A-A-C-E) with a simple up pattern.

Thanks bringer!

I would kill to be able to make that sound at 1:27!!! That bass is beautiful and dirty, just like I like my women!

Not sure if you figured it out but this video was very helpful to me

Hi guys,

I'm looking to recreate this DnB synth and incorporate it into some of my dubstep tracks. I'm sure it has been used in loads of drum n bass tunes, but off the top of my head these are the only 2 I can think of. It appears in most of "innocent x" by Lomax, and at the end of some 8 bar loops in "talk to frank" by Commix.

It sounds to me like a Reece of some sort, but it waivers in a certain way and I can't quite seem to recreate it. Also I'm using Reason, so I'd need to know how to make it on Subtraktor or Malstrom (preferably not Thor) Its pretty nasty and I'd love to know how to emulate it.

Thanks in advance!

@ 1.32 onwards

@1.15/1/16

First example is Downlink - Gamma Ray Burst at 0:56, also at 1:26


Second, Sukh Knight - Ganja Dub at 0:30


Im looking for the sound in the first one, the second song's sound is vaguely similiar.
If anyone can tell me how to make it I would appreciate it.

Please help with the sound from Gamma Ray Burst
