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.

Waveform: two cycles of the sound
Spectrum: low to high frequencies
ADSR
Envelope 2: moves the filter

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.
