Nah. CGMan is. I learned making basses this way from him.

Remix is open, take a peek. Hope the info helps you understand this chaotic abomination of a draft setup lol.

Then it's all just EQ and compression to fine-tune the whole sound and get the unnecessary things out of the way. I massively overdid this whole chain considering the slightly lackluster sound I got, but perhaps even more distortion and compression/simply better mixing could make this sound rougher.

The most important part of the setup is the slope filter. Increase the resonance just a little and then rhythmically automate the cutoff frequency. I added a chorus to it too because it sounded quite dry and for added umph put plenty of distortion to this chain (go ham with that). Then I split the frequency bands and at least tried to make the bass mono (you can do that with a band splitter, mergers and EQ to specify which frequencies will be stereo more precisely.

Like any neurobass Kinda. Heisenberg - saw wave oscillator (I think) modulated through FM by something, doesn't really matter too much. Put up the stereo and detune. Used 2 mods for LFO - only slight modulation movement there to give it some variation. Put up the resonance a little on the filter. Then put a pulsar on it that I also automated for more texture (not necessarily, but it's there).

A very clumsy one, yeah. Wrote the 2 parts separately (who would've guessed).
