Anyone have any tips on how to get the sound here:
It's used as a main synth melody in this video, but alot of other producers (SebastiAn for one) use it for more straight forward dirty bass. Sounds like a guitar slammed into a saw wave which slammed into some subtle vocoding effect...
any tips?

The way it breaks up in parts reminds me of the Royksopp bass on Vision One (Junior), which can be copied very effectively with Albino or with a vocoder. For that one, You basically put a high-pass filter and low-pass in series so that the high-pass just filters out the bottom of the bass on a saw wave (which has the duty cycle turned down so that it's more like a pulse wave), follow it with a phaser. Then play notes right at the bottom of the saw's range - the low frequencies will begin to break up and it's the high pass filter that accentuates that effects. Some other synths can generate the right kind of saw out of the box. I know that Kriminal's Felix can do it.marcoskohler wrote:Anyone have any tips on how to get the sound here:

If you have Virsyn's Matrix vocoder, one of the factory presets will do a very similar sound - I found it by accident while trying it out. You need to use the internal synth to get it.
Then for this sound, I guess it's a matter of running it through distortion. To get the control, I reckon it probably needs to be some kind of multiband distortion/overdrive like Redopter, Kombinat or Ohmicide.

I'm on OSX with Logic Pro Ableton Suite 8 and Massive btw.

Massive should be able to nail it, although I've not tried it with that synth. It might take a while to find the right wavetable for the oscillators.marcoskohler wrote:I will try this later today.
