Wobble Bass

Post by GoranGerman »

Korg mates, I need help. Does someone knows how to make a dubstep bass, on Kronos, with wobble on aftertouch? Thanks in advance!!! :)

Try one of the synths like MS20, put the VCOs to a low register, get a LFO to "wobble" the cut-off frequency of the HP and here you go ... ;)

If you last but not least set up the after-touch to bring in an out the LFO amplitude or the modulation sensitivity of the filter you can wobble in and out as you like.

You could also add the joystick, the ribbon controller or a knob to adjust the LFO speed ...

wobbling is done through the AMS system, basically you assign the joystick to the amount / speed of an LFO that you use to control the Cutoff frequency.

There are engines in the Kronos that have a dedicated Filter / mod tab where already an lfo is assigned to the filter. But if you want to use the MS-20 then you should do it through the MS-20 patch panel.

In my tutorial for the MS-20 i explain the basics of patch routing which should be enough info to get you started.

Depending on the kind of wobble you like, you may want to apply some effects to taste. I'll often use the decimator or actually one of the bass preamps sounds very good for bringing out a lot of bottom end, I think it might even be on the default settings for that amp model.

The nice thing about MS20 and PolySix is that unlike the other engines you can lock the main LFO to tempo whilst still being able to modulate the rate (times) parameter. Unfortunately you can't do this on most of Korg's synths, let alone the other engines in the Kronos.

I must admit,
I didn't make to the level 2 in programing keys... Its so much easyer when i do that in studio :( i know i'm asking to much, but, if someone could send me some wobble bass sound (basic info patch) to see and learn that way... I need some dub step mean sound... LFO in tempo etc... Thnx to all. It is a pleasure being on this forum...
