Interested if anyone has any tips for making Dubstep sound with Volca Keys.

I would get Volca Bass but I love the flexibility I have with the Keys and I can get good bass sounds with it.

So anyone else been successful in getting that glitchy, Dubstep Bass sound with the Volca Keys?

Thanks ahead of time for the tips.

Not Dubstep specifically (haven“t tried either, though), but I managed to get a pretty nasty Drum'n'Bass sound with the Keys...

Poly Ring mode or Unison mode, with about 25% detune and pitch EG for that little slide at the beginning, rather high decay overall for a more evolving type of sound, and of course filter (or even pitch) LFO... together with the onboard delay, you can get pretty crazy sounds out of that box even without further processing.

I personally though hook it up to a digital distortion pedal (soundblox multiband bass distortion, in my case) and an envelope follower (same company) for some added ooomph. ;)
