Anybody got some good tips on making a wobble bass sound and maby some synths
wobble bass in psytrance? scratches head One manās wobble is another manās wibble.
you might want to post an example of what you are referring to.
Standard wobble bass is just modulation of the filter.
If you are talking about that ever present ādugga duggaā bass on psytrance, itās usually just a saw or square with a really snappy filter envelope on every16th note, usually with the either the note on the kick or the one before it being slightly lower volume to give it that pumping feel. there are a million different ways to get to a place, but the simplest is the best.
There are a million psytrance bassline tutortials out there though.
I find most of it, too much by the numbers these days (and thatās as a DJ whoās been playing it since Goa in the early 90s), so Iād recommend coming up with as fresh a sound as possible.
Break some rules.
What you call āwobbleā, is probably mostly filter modulation (as polite_society says above).

Yes thatās what i meant, isnāt it kind of a wobble? itās a pitch modulation right?
Could be pitch. Whatever works best for that part.
There are a whole load of modulation destinations, set up an LFO and see what happens when you target some of the less obvious ones.
Ok thank you very mutch for your help. See you around the forum, peace

One thing Iāve not been able to crack on the Rytm, is a psy-trance kick drum. Iāve had to resort to using samples.
My Tempest does a reasonable job, but the best kicks Iāve generated myself actually come from NIās Massive.
ā¦which is why, so far, when Iām producing in that mode, I donāt tend to use the Rytm.
For me, Rytm works best for more chilled psychedelia.
I had a Electribe that did a real good job of producing the kick and bass but the rytm doesnāt seem to be able to pull it offā¦ Yet
Maybe a new mode for kicks would work?
Yeah maybe get a modulation to pitch with speed adjustment options
Yall use the filter ping psy kick trick yet? IMO itās great. Set up an impulse machine, set filter to lpf, reso almost to max (or max). Build the kick shape with the filter env. Bonus points for using the LFO for extra filter control. Earth shaking bass!

Will try asap, thank you
Yep - Iāve tried it. Iāve used other synths in the past for that effect (e.g. SH101).
Still not getting what Iām after and using the filter to self-oscillate, means that the starting point of the sound becomes inconsistent. Iād have to sample it.
If Iām after a traditional psy-kick, Iāll either use Massive and take a sample, or I also get pretty good results from my DSI Tempest.
if you use the filter env and set it to reset on trig from the settings, it will be fairly consistent.
Iāve tried all that (have been working with synths for nearly 30 years, so know my way around sound-design). Still not getting what Iām after Iām afraid.
