Making the Dusky bass sound

[dubbytubby]

Hey people,

Does anyone know how to make this sound

1min 35!

I have managed to make it in Logic

The preset is called "Dark Attack Bass" in Logic's EFM1 synth. First I changed it from Legato to Mono. I turned the "fm depth" down a tiny amount, and turned the large "fm" knob in the middle up a bit, I also increased the decay on the modulation envelope a tiny amount. Modulator Pitch I turned up a bit.

but I wanted help making it in a another FM synth such as FM8 or someone just uploading a preset.

Thanks

It sounds like an 80's style pluck synth, so it's more than likely sine waves (only wave the DX7 had I believe), but you can also research what waves EFM1 uses and branch from that.

just did it because i found this synth design interesting for a while...
tried sytrus & massive, and it's possible to make a good base for this sound in both:
as sofar said, sine waves are key. i used this to create a good base in massive:
1 sine wave OSC, pitch it 2 octaves down globally, use ringmod at pitch +12.00 at 100%. make the main envelope's sustain 0. Compress, Use some sort of waveshaper to fatten it up.
you can also use a square OSC and a LPF with a quick envelope on it or distort it before routing it through the waveshaper etc. can get lots of timbres out of this base...
sounds something like this:
