How the hell is this synth made?

So I heard this synth and I can't figure it out.
It's at the drop of the song below, the one that comes in almost instantly at the drop, just after the first beat of the supersaw.

A similar kind of sound can be heard in Rob Swire's drumstep mix of Witchcraft (at the drop again)

Any ideas quite how it's made or could be recreated? I'm not trying to steal their sounds, I just love the sound and am curious how it's made.

Cheers

I didn't want to be the one to break it to him, thank you. :lol:

I'd take a look at Surge if I were you. Surge has the best yoi capabilities IMO

I know it's a yoi bass :p I also know how to make a yoi bass, but this seems so distinct in a way, it could just be how it's mixed but I think it's the sound design mainly, I can't put my finger on it but it's distinct from any yoi bass I've made, and I've done a fair few using mostly FM8 but also Massive and Operator, and just wondering if anyone knew what made this one so special :)

I see what you mean. I usually use and hear the ones that kind of have a wobble structure to them, however, the ones you are talking about sound a bit more robotic. I guess instead of using an LFO wobble with bitcrusher over them, they might make it into a flat type structure by bringing the level up. I can't really explain it well.
