Happy March to everyone – I decided to swap things around from what I had posted in the original thread, because I’ve really been itching to make more bass / sub instruments with cool features. So, for March, the submission format is Bass!
To start off, this is an instrument I was fucking around with last night – I named the macros more poetically than technically, just kind of based on what images where coming to my mind with the parameters. I put the instrument together with a desire to have an 808-type instrument with a big range of fuckery.
The basis for the instrument is actually from @arcologiesrecent video on youtube, where he shared some s950 sine-wave samples. Thanks arcologies!
(Submissions are still welcome in the percussion thread, and I will keep the window open for payout consideration until the 7th.)

saw<>square blend acid-style bass. tweak them macros
distortion if you want it!
BP SQ REESE.xrni (24.7 KB)
a fairly nasty bandpassed reese with faux pwm thru detune
fractal psyne.xrni (3.0 KB)
a very simple patch, and a simple/punchy/clean saw bass using a fractal sine wave instead of a saw. decent disco/trance starting point
Dropping a couple of instruments, one is a basic signal-processing idea, the other is a fleshed out 808
(ab)using the multiband send to create phasing effects which can give nice character to bass that’s distinct from chorus etc. I just have a couple sine-LFO’s modulating the band ranges, but using different modulation sources can be fun allpass_distbass.xrni (12.0 KB)
And here’s an 808 I had fun creating – I tried to give the instrument versatility via the macros, but having a definite character. Enjoy! trunk_rattler_808.xrni (15.5 KB)
