This sounds like a fairly standard fm bass sound with short amp and filter envelopes. Two oscillators are used, one tuned a fifth higher (7 semitones) and mixed together to get a hint of the higher or lower pitched OSC

Operator is the one to use off that list. The original source lies in presets like Wood Piano/Bass on the DX100. Two stacked oscillators, with the modulator tuned an octave above the carrier with a short envelope to get the 'donk'. Adjust envelope to taste.

The preset attached adds an additional carrier to beef up the bass a bit.

That's a sample.you can tell by how the formants shift when it transposes upwards, but these are just tremendously simple 2-3 op FM/PM patches commonly known as "donks".technically,it is only a 2 op patch for the harmonic element,but you can use a 3rd operator for more attack/transient.pretty sure this is just 2 operators though,and the attack comes from adjusting the sample start point onto a non-zero crossing,then compressing,re-enveloping etc

If you dont have nexus there's a preset library called Savage Future House by Production Master (for Massive). It's got that bass in there. However I cant seem to get it to show in the browser which is pretty eff'n annoying.

Depending on what you are : a sound designer or producer, it's best to just buy presets. Sound designers just do one thing so they're obviously gonna be better at it than you if you're a producer.

Someone suggested Operator. Definitely not. Massive has a few more tricks up its sleeve and it's sound is better suited.

This is the sound design forum,so buying presets is not the solution.Operator can do this bass easily.

Help me nail this FM House bass
