Tutorial 1-Dubstep Wobble Bass with Massive

This is the first tutorial from The Synthesist, covering the process behind making a Dubstep wobble bass sound.

This video shows the use of Native Instruments' MASSIVE synthesizer, which shifted the paradigm for software synthesis development in late 2006. MASSIVE's fat, analog sound is unique to the soft-synth world, offering a wide scope of sound design possibilities.

But underneath all that, is an extremely simple-to-use, great sounding engine, that can provide some of the baddest bass tones you've ever heard.

Check out the video, and the patches that are linked through the site below.

Notes on the patches:

Wobble 1- This is a basic demonstration of the ideas seen in the video. One oscillator, one filter, one LFO. very basic.

Wobble 2- This is the patch that was created in the video. You have a the dual-oscillator setup, using the same wavetable and settings, one is simply pitched an octave down. Try putting an LFO on the pitch of one of the oscillators, but only modulate the pitch by .10 or .15 of a half step. This will give a thicker and different feel to the sound.

Wobble 3- This is an example that has been used in one of The Synthesist's tracks previously. Its an example of experimentation with the LFO, applied to the Ring Modulator in addition to the Filter's Frequency Cutoff. Try applying an LFO to the Phase knob in the Modulation Oscillator. Also, the Performer function is displayed, rather than a simple LFO, so that you can write in your own modulating patterns.

The biggest rule of creating a fat bass sound from scratch is START SIMPLE. Bass tones get muddied very easily, so very minor changes can have a dramatic effect on your sound.

@blood4lives Huh?

[OfficialDiminisher]

For all those who have the Mod 5DEN issue, theres a much easier way. When you click on ANYTHING in the massive interface, your DAW (FL, or Ableton, or whatever your using) Will automatically open a modulating interface for that track, so when you get to the part where you can choose your fractions, 1/1 1/2 1/3 etc, just click on the bottom number, exit massive and u are good to start modulating

@OfficialDiminisher Yes! Thankfully NI included Automation for these functions in the later updates! This is much easier now...

[eerereps]

DROP BASS!!!

[MrZebraCadabra]

@DJmyxup I had the same problem before, you should not press the sync button at LFO 5, you should just spinn the button untill you got the the wobble you want! Hope I helped you ;)

[ramboronkim]

how do you automate the wobble?

[toiletooth]

Great tutorial. Thanks.

[SamSwagert]
