This is the first tutorial from The
Synthesist, covering the process behind
making a Dubstep wobble bass sound.
This video shows the use of Native
Instruments' MASSIVE synthesizer, which
shifted the paradigm for software synthesis
development in late 2006. MASSIVE's fat,
analog sound is unique to the soft-synth
world, offering a wide scope of sound design
possibilities.
But underneath all that, is an extremely
simple-to-use, great sounding engine, that
can provide some of the baddest bass tones
you've ever heard.
Check out the video, and the patches that are
linked through the site below.

Notes on the patches:
Wobble 1- This is a basic demonstration of
the ideas seen in the video. One oscillator,
one filter, one LFO. very basic.
Wobble 2- This is the patch that was created
in the video. You have a the dual-oscillator
setup, using the same wavetable and settings,
one is simply pitched an octave down. Try
putting an LFO on the pitch of one of the
oscillators, but only modulate the pitch by
.10 or .15 of a half step. This will give a
thicker and different feel to the sound.
Wobble 3- This is an example that has been
used in one of The Synthesist's tracks
previously. Its an example of
experimentation with the LFO, applied to the
Ring Modulator in addition to the Filter's
Frequency Cutoff. Try applying an LFO to the
Phase knob in the Modulation Oscillator.
Also, the Performer function is displayed,
rather than a simple LFO, so that you can
write in your own modulating patterns.
The biggest rule of creating a fat bass sound
from scratch is START SIMPLE. Bass tones get
muddied very easily, so very minor changes
can have a dramatic effect on your sound.
