Plucked bass
Put it together: a classic synth bass.
Lesson 1 of 3
Now combine what you have learned. This bass is a saw wave through a mostly closed filter, opened briefly on every note by the filter envelope.
Plucked bass
Shape the pluck.
Drag the squares on the envelope, or turn the knobs: they move together.
Cutoff250 Hz
Env>Filt+3.5 oct
Decay 2180 ms
The recipe: a low Cutoff, a strong Env>Filt and a short Decay 2 give the pluck; a little resonance gives it a squelch; a short release keeps the notes tight.
Raise Decay 2 for a rounder, rubbery bass. Lower Env>Filt for a deep, soft sub. Raise Cutoff for an aggressive, buzzy bass.
