Hi Guys,i struggle with this bass synth :
Starts at:0:51 and plays again at 0:53 and so on...

At first i thought that it would be just a simple deep house bass style patch but,
I've tried.I'm a newbie, in sound design so i've watched a couple of youtube's tutorials but again i didn't get the sound that i want:(

If someone can help please please let me know!!!
THNX Guys:)

bass synth? 0:51? hmmmm, i think you're maybe confused here, you've definitely got ME confused.
there's a low growlish bass, and a dubby chord. That bass isn't that special. The huge kick is doing most of the 'bass'.

Hi Sqigls I'm talking about that square-ish pluck synth that plays between the chords

it sounds like a plucked squarewave, some resonancy in the pluck, with most high frequencies cut off. maybe with a hold of 30-40 ms some slight distortion, some eq around 160 hz, compression and maybe some very subtle reverb.

iam not sure if its detuned or not, if it is its very subtle detune

the fx chain is like this:

plucky LP envelope -> Distortion -> EQ -> Compressor -> Reverb

Hi Yacc, I've tried with a square wave and it's not it. It's close but not quite there.

you can alter the sound greatly with finetuning the other parameters

btw this is how my result sounds like:

it sounds pretty close to me atleast, but its a little bit hard to hear in the track you posted.

its more of a filter trick, high resonance, low cutoff, high filter env amount
