How to program a cannonball or explosion sound?

[opus_diaboli]

Hi,
How to program a good cannonball sound or an explosion? My attempts using noise always failed because it sounds too thin. Is this possible with Sylenth at all? Maybe it's quite easy, but I'm not very skilled in synth programming. Thanks for any suggestions.

Yes, an explosion needs some extra bass. Try this one:

Play with the Cutoff and Distortion Amount for the explosion intensity

Thank you Lennard. Very helpful, as always.
