you know i use a lot of programs, vst, and effects, and OSCx3 i find is one of my fav's for a clean pure bass sound, mixed with PSPSaturator, or some warm distortion/exciter and it can make some sick basslines, mixed with the Slide Notes, and arp, you can do some crazy shit with it.
and all this time i been avoiding it. but you get better sound quality out of it when yourender it also. it's crazy, a bit of detune adn ou got a wobble bass that works. it's insane.

I love it too... couldn't get it to slide though.
I copied the sound of "Commix - talk to Frank" and the typical Clipz lead with it. Damn nice thingy and it is so simple!

at the top left of the paino roll, there is a triangle, it's depressed here.
just above the keys, to the left of the color selection.
there's notes that have the triangle on the left side of them, and they take all the notes that play during that duration and slide them .
it starts from teh begining of the slide note, to the end fo the slide note. so if you have a not playing before the slide note, when it gets tot eh slide note, it'll start to rise or fall, until it gets to the end fo the note, at a constant speed.
if you have a slide not playing and trigger a note after, it will slide up as if it was held down the entire length, to the end of the sldie note.
so if you want a slide of a octave for one bar, you place a slide note an octave above one bar long.
with a bit of detuned notes, the wobble slide, sounds great.

very excellent little synth.
sooo underrated!!!
i'm pretty sure cj styles uses it for his sine subs too, as do i.
super for sliding.
and like halph says, arp it up and ya can do the craziest things.
easy to eq and easy to process.

I was massing with the 3xOsc some, I got this weird filtering bass out of it.
I might fool with it some more, it was just for fun.

It's really a shame that you can not make real good presets on it. It's basically a simple signal generator that needs to be in a processing chain.
When you make a sound on it which is crazy, you'll probably have added several effects + pitching to it.
I'll make a samplepack some day.

The 3xOsc is good but its not in the same league as sytrus, I'd advise learning that and ditching the 3xosc if you've got it.

FL fm stylus?
too much of a CPu hog, and it doesn't do the distortion, so it's a waste, FM synth is dffierent then Addative synth. it's like comparing Distortion to Reverb.
also on that note, the effects to make a bassline. i have FM8 and Toxic3 Blue fm synths coming out my ass. like i have said before, and it would be appearant that there's better synths then OSCx3.
but yea, the OScx3 makes a wobble bassline, pure, clean, and cPU free. you find me any other synth that does what the OSCx3 does, it doesn't seem that hard, but it's hard to find one.
you can make one with Reaktor maybe. but i can name so many FM synths, Blue, FM8, FM7, Absynth, PM4, Zeta, ToxicIIIOrion, Albino2.
digital synth started with FM, and they are a dime a dozen. but yea, check out Toxic III, i fuck hobbits, you get a full FM8 with very low CPU, and anti-aliased waveforms.
not drawable, but you just need pure shapes for bass.
BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH

Sytrus doesn't use any more cpu than the 3xosc if you use it like the 3xOsc, it's only when you make carried patches that it starts hogging your comp. And its got a built in waveshaper for distortion.
Also the 3xOsc is a subtractive synthesizer and not an additive synthesiser, according to the manual at least, and sytrus can do subtractive synthesis (as well as fm and rm) so its not like comparing distortion to reverb at all. Its like comparing a crap synth to a good one...

@gls..
i would certainly like to see some of these DNB
sytrus basslines.
upload some (or pm me with a link to some)
i've only used sytrus for bass 3 times.
the "click bass" preset is very good with a bit of tweaking (check my paranoid android original to hear it)...
one of the distorted guitar presets (with tons of processing)...
and one of the bell samples on a low note made a sick bass.
i have FM8 too and it cains my cpu (as does sytrus sometimes).
i would upload some of my FANTASTIC 3x osc presets, but i dont wanna share too much with everyone
needless to say, i regularly use both synths in my music.

i was not been sarcastic or sardonic. i really would like to
see some sytrus dnb basses.
its a great synth.
but, i am up to your challenge. i will post a link to a couple of
my 3xosc samples.
p.s, if you could show me how to make good wobbles n stuff in sytrus,
i would be a very happy alcoholic.

waveshaping is different then saturation distortion. it's more like phase distortion. that's cool for guitar like sounds, but deep bass you go for the amplitude distortion. it's plays with the harmonics.
but anyways, this is what i was talkinga bout, how it's seen as a crap synth, and my statment was that it's not that crap, and pretty easy and good, if you use the right effects on it.
if you want an all in one synth (if you have a limited amount of effects) then yea, styrus. whatever. it does a the basic waveforms, which most synths don't.

Upload the presets instead of wavs, so I know the sounds came from just the 3xOsc, and I'll see what I can do.

To be fair I did say the 3xOsc was good in my original post, its just not as good as sytrus. For example you've only got one basic volume envelope, or LFO, for the entire synth whereas with sytrus you get one for each oscillator and one for each filter. Which means you can do some proper wobbly shit if you want, when coupled with the 3 filters etc...

I think you can do amplitude distortion with it too, one of the filters (mango) has a drive knob on it lol. I'm not sure though, the manual doesn't say anything about it.
