I almost never ask for help over synthesizing sounds, I am always trying to remake them by myself (or do something similarly good sounding) etc. but I've been trying for a week now, to create the same type of wobble (?) bass Sub Focus made in his remix of 'Could this be real' song.

It starts at 1:07 and then again at 2:35

I am noticing the subtle lfo timings of the filter, and I can do them (or something similar), but I am far from achieving the same bass growl sound. Oh, and I cannot figure out how is the filter set up, so that it gives, hmm, watery efectt? I am using Sytrus for this. If anyone has any tips towards the -sound- of the bass, I'd be happy to read them. Of course, sampling comes out of the question. Big Grin

dunno if sytrus has good enough waveforms in its occilators to reproduce that,


regarding the filter id say whack on the reso to get the watery sound, itll sound a bit messy but use a bitta eq to clean it up!

sounds a bit like one of the brutal acid patches in massive,
but with a shed load of automation Smile

Thank you for your responses. I almost managed to achieve the same sound in Sytrus, and I hate because Sytrus' envelope for the filter lfo is so hard to control!

I will try in another synth to see how it would come off. Or maybe install Massive at the end Big Grin If I succeed, I guess I might copy the patch here for everyone.

Thanks again.

Deffo sounds like its come from massive.

Plus I reckon there is a third osc hard-sync'd and pitch up to give it more edge
