That bass as in Max Cooper's

Hello all and top of the morning to you guys.

I’d like to participate of your gear’s knowledge and get your ideas of what you think produces that sparse bass sound accents as in these two MC’s tracks:

Resynthesis

Waves

It’s not a bass line in a “standard” way, it is sparse and happens in not a repetitive way.
The best example to the sound I am searching is in Resynthesis but in Waves sounds really similar.

Best suggestions would be both hardware and software even if I believe it comes from some analog beef.

Thanks A LOT

I can’t say exactly what’s doing the bass bit but there’s definitely a prophet of some description in there, a rev2 or 6 I’d guess. There’s that unmistakable buzzy, brassy sound all over it.

The first appearence of it is on Resynthesis link at 00:44/00:45 and again it comes with THE sound I really like at between 2:20/2:21 and again a nice moment I like at 3:12/3:13

Definetely a beefy analog hardware :yum:

Sounds kinda squarewave’ish?

I think you’d be able to get pretty close to it on most decent analogue synths. The sound itself is fairly simple, but it has impact due to very good mixing and arrangement.

Square wave with articulations on pitch (probably portamento), filter, envelopes, on the second track.

First track sounds like 2 oscillators possibly square and saw an octave apart, with filter cutoff quite low and moderate resonance.

Yeah that definitely sounds like a P6/AS-1.

Also loved the visuals in the first video, but found the looseness of the sequence timing very unnerving, especially on those higher-pitched digital sounds.

That might be the longest YouTube description I’ve ever seen

I probably shouldn’t give my opinion on that lengthy blurb. I might get banned.

Thanks guys …P6 as the main suspect (also because of what stated on Equipboard).

Thanks @darenager for the depth of your insight !
