Tutorial: Skrillex-y Robotic Dubstep Bass Growl :: Boy in a Band. Hi! I’m Dave from boyinaband.com and I’m going to show you how to make this Skrillex-y dubstep bass growl synth from my nextup competition entry. It’s quite a complicated synth, but if you follow through I’ll explain why it works so you can take this knowledge and develop your own, different synths with a similar kind of grittiness and power.

Okay! Let’s begin. First, make a combinator to keep everything in. I’ll copy across the notes now so we can hear our epic bass. Since wavetable synths are the basis of this kind of tone I figure it warrants an in-depth explanation. So, before that extended metaphor gets me in trouble with the RSPCA, let’s explain what we can do with all those waveforms – we’ll soon make this synth change between waveforms as the sound progresses. You’ll also sound really silly.

That’s where the position parameter comes in. Then we want an analog oscillator down an octave on the default saw wave for a bit more thickness. Now the roboticness. See how vital it is?
