anyone know how to achieve the bass sound squarepusher so loves to use...
It sounds to me like its a sqaure wave as its quite hollow, but with some res for a bit of squelch and filter env for a rounded sound...but no amount of tweaking has got me near the sound- the sound appears on his 'untitled' single and i would love to know how to achieve it- it may well be an FM sound but am not sure.....quality synth tone thou- any ideas?
let us know if you need an audio snippet

hmm, have you tried adding a touch of chorus to a
square wave?
i use basses like that all the time. you can use 2 square
waves, sync them, no PW (or very little), lp filter, cutoff at
half, a little res then add a little chorus to get it even
hollower. you can play with a filter env to get a little
punch for the attack of the notes as well.

DG- good idea- i rarely use chorus on bass so will give that a try- to me the sound definitly sounds achievable with a va - so will have a go with my aj1- i think also there is a velocity sensitivity or its just modulating between notes-
thanks..

i used mp3 workshop to snip the file and it may have reencoded the file at the same time- the original came from Kazza Lite and is just a normal mp3 to my recollection so must have been something that mp3 workshop did to the file...
Cheers
