Lately I've been interested in soundz like this one. It sounds simple but haven't come close it. Very trendy sounds lately in the hip housey side.

Bassline and lead are cool anyone might guide me the right way
perhaps a preset to see the parameters and learn from there.
Sylenth1, Minimoog, Albino, FM8, Massive are almost the only softsynths I have

Thanks and here is the track. I know you guys are PROS!

More like we didn't feel like trying it.

But nope, theyre easier patches. Knocked this together in a couple minutes.

The lead is a sine wave. It has portamento. Theirs sounds shakey so maybe they detuned two sines or chorused it(lol...) or some other relatively random and unnecessary modulation. End of story.

The bass I'd guess is two saws, one detuned slightly, but possibly running in sync'd phase. Fiddling with their relative phase helps.

Lowpass filter at around 120 hz. Resonance bumped up to like 3db. Envelope on the filter raises cutoff by like 30%, with a quick delay elbow shaped so that hangs a bit better, and no sustain. A stab configuration.

The amp envelope is similar, with a lot of release on it, elbow shaped curve.

Layer it with a Sine or two for great justice.

I'll bet the guys made it on FM8, but couldn't figure the thing out, and so just used it like a subtractive synthesizer instead. But you can get close in any synth. I used Z3ta+2.

Thanks MOK! you keep this place alive with a few other.

well yes I see you almost nailed it man. well I know they used jp8000 synth for the bass but didnt know what parameters.

mind sending me the z3t4+ fxp? I will mess with it from there

thanks

Hey, thanks.

I dont think it'd work; it's z3ta+2, not z3ta.

But I'd encourage you to try hammering the patch together personally. If there's a part of my description that isn't clear, I'd be glad to go through what I mean.

This is what makes me appreciate this forum. There are people who devote time out of their day to help others. Thanks MOK19 :)

Glad to. This is precisely where I learned what I know, by asking questions here, and trying out the challenges people put out. Keepin the circle goin. ;)
