Kettle - Jon E Cash


Does anyone have any idea how to make a bass like this down to the like nth degree?
I know it has a pretty high attack and it's all detuned but what kinda waves would have been used?
Would I be able to achieve this sound in massive?
How heavy would I have to be on the EQ?
Anyone got an idea?

thanks

sounds like he's taking samples of anything (flute, cello, violin whatever), pitching them awkwardly and layering them with a plain sine wave for the sub running through a different channel strip. pretty simple stuff m8

^ could be. try that out. also try square waves in the sub range (which is inexact and ill-defined but imo/ime, is approximately D#0 - D1). or since your in massive, check out the Duckorgan and Inharmonic wavetables. I've had good luck with those for this sort of sound.

interesting thread. refreshing to see someone ask about this kind of sound.

definitely this for the first few screech hits it could be tons of WT from massive, but later on there are some definite cellos or something

What an obnoxious beginning to that track

yeah that's what i'm looking for, the like proper detuned bass that drops on the 16
thanks for the comments guys

I got it. Fiddled around with waves like Sonic in massive.
having a different position on each and detuning slightly.

The bassline itself (the synth one) sounds exactly like a really high resonance LPF on a certain frequency on a square wave playing a note that resonates in that weird way on the LPF and then resampled. That's like 1 minute of work in sytrus or most other synths ( though sytrus' LPF does make it sound an awful lot like the synth in this track )
