alright so ive been trying to attain this mettalic sounding bassline, where it sounds like its alost got a ringing tone to it. if you dont know what im talking about you can hear it in the song Ignition by Downlink. I hate to sound like a dick but when people say things like "just layer sines and triangles" i dont really consider it help I use massive "not cracked dont hate" and i was wondering if anyone knew how to attain this metallic sound, and which presets do it.
CHHEERS

a bit of resonance adds some ring...
specifically for me i use malstrom and turn the shift knob up a bit and play with the index slider. i can get a nice metallic bass with that. i know that doesn't really help you sorry get reason

Play with your phase and ring modulation. Those are essentially instant metallic basslines.

Scrapyeard + broad wavetable position lfos = metallic sounds.
Add phase modulation = more metallic
put the shortest delay youve ever used on it via mixer rack = REALLY metallic.
LFO the master amp of the synth or a cutoff.

add delay with almost slightly less then 0 delay time and it adds a nice metallic ring

Much easier to do in FM synthesis as its quite metallic sounding once you get in-harmonic ratios

I have had ok results playing with flangers or intense comb filters in parallel busses to an already metallic sound.

which sound? that has a typical robot vocal patch and then a different one to fill every other bar, please, timelinks...
You are overestimating how much of brostep is a single synth and underesitmating the power of multiple patches/layering/cuts.
