Hi,
I'd love to recreate some kind of pulsating bass synth I hear here and there in many tracks I like. You can find it for instance in Arn Anderson's Immortality in a section from 0:58 to 1:16 roughly. I hope you'll see what sound I'm talking about.

I tried mainly two very close approaches to do such a thing.
One is to use an LFO.
The other is to use a sequence of notes and shape the enveloppe.

None is very convincing but I think the foundation sound is not correct but I can't figure out much except there must also be some kind of slow phaser to modulate the sound.

Do this kind of pulsing bass have a specific name? How can I recreate such a sound?
Regards,
