Gemmy style lfo fill

Hi all, just trying to create a kind of Gemmy style lfo fill in a track, just want to figure out how to get that really aggressive sound with the automation curves, what ive drawn in just isn't quite right despite fiddling around with it for bloody ages. (Would you go for freq, resonance and volume and what would you draw in?)

A good example is The Croft, 32 seconds into the redeye clip.

Cheers,
Phil.

if its the bit i think you mean its just an increase in resonance and the lfo speed has been made slow, should be a piece of piss.

btw that tune is rubbish.

lol fair one. Yea its technically easy but just can't get it to sound quite how i want it. Just the lfo and increasing resonance doesn't produce the same 'abruptness'

Ok track A has two bass patches.

One that is set to lfo-filter cutoff bla bla bla that is standard I think. It has some rate automation but is straight forward Square by the sounds of it.

He has that one going wobble wobble wobble up to the first snare, stop. Then he has another bass sound that goes to beat 4 on the next bar. I do not think it is filter-cut off but sounds like it has filter assigned to the envolope and possibly some automation on filter/envolope attack and is just single note hits.

That noise in the background is horrible. Sounds broken and does not create a nice atmos or work as a melody.

Make sure your filter is closing all the way, that will get 'abruptness'. Set your filter to 0Hz, and have all the work done by the LFO. Use sharper filter curves for more pronounced resonance (24db/4pole instead of 6db/1 pole)

i think the fill has 3 wobbles, and the amount the filter opens increases each time... shouldn't be too tough

i think that track's pretty sick to be honest..
