Chime chunky bass

Set Osc 1’s waveform to FM 05, a similar timbre to the sound we’re recreating. Next, pitch the oscillator down by an octave, so the sound sits in the right register. We’ll increase the Unison Voices to 2, and push the Detuning amount up to 10 to thicken the sound.

Turn on Noise generator, and set the Vol to 30%; this adds some fizzy crunch. We’ll turn on the distortion effect, select the SoftGain preset and reduce the Mix to 20%; this adds saturation, giving the sound a rounded tone. Next, shape with the filter – choose Dirty LP.

Set Osc 1’s Phase mode to Gate to make it consistent, as the oscillator starts the wave at the same place for each note. Turn on Osc 2 and choose the square wave. Turn the Volume down to 0, then increase Osc 1’s FM Amount to 62, using Osc 2 to modulate the frequency of Osc 1.

Set the Cutoff to 200Hz, and the Res to 40%. Increase the Env 1 Amount to 20%, so the filter is modulated by the envelope. Reduce Env 1 Sustain to 0% to make the modulation subtle. Increase Filter Drive to 10dB; this makes up the gain lost from applying the filter, while adding crunch.
