Ok. I know it's hella-mega-ultra-hyper LAME to try to be like other artists. There is already a lot of posts out there that read " I really really really want to make progressive trance, how..." or " that timberland makes fat beats, tell me how i can be like him.". But i can't figure out How the hell did grooverider make the bassline to "where's jack the ripper"
I'm sorry i can't post a audio snippet as the computer i'm on right now doesnt have a cd-rom
But i had an idea of a bass line that had elements similar to that b-line, but i can't figure out how to do it.

Practicly everyone who likes breaks , or dn'b has heard that song at least once. So if u could share how it's done , i'm sure you'll get some good karma points

I just had a little fiddle to see and I haven`t gotten that close, but a sawtooth at 16' with a sawtooth on top at 8' and then a square wave on the sub at 16' too seems to get part of the way there with a LPF closed slightly, a touch of rez and some velocity-filter envelope moddepth modulation. And a slightly longer attack on the filter envelope also. Lots of overdrive would be in order too but the overdrive is shite on my synth (uQ) so I can`t really get there. A big part of that sound seems to be the filter overdrive anyway.

I have a patch on my a4000 that consist of a FMbass with lot's of distortion and lo-fi (or whatever the effect is called) that sound suspiously like this too.. the 'edge' of the sound is definately caused by ddistortion.

dunno if I can help, I'm sure I've heard the track, but I can't recall it in my head but I do remeber reading a clone of this thread where someone said they had asked him what made that bassline, and he said it was a nord ... is the song on the album .. I have the album .. I'll look it up I know my mw can get very nasty ...

Am I going to have to falsely accuse you of being homosexual again? I KNOWWWW how the original sounds, the remix is similar but the tone is slowly brought in with a lopass filter.

Ya big fairy ye

Yeah it's the original i'm talking about.

So to recap,...
Two sqaure waves , one an octave down.
mixed with
one sqare wave.
through a high pass filter,
With envelope mod of the cut off
and velocity mod of that envelope
overdrive to buggery
And roberto is is your father's brother's uncle's roomate's proctologist.

Am i mising something here?
Is the evnvalop inversed ?, i.e, the sound goes from high freq to low then back to high again does it not?.
And where are the filter tweeks? I can't tell what was hand operated and what was envelope driven.
