holy shit..... after years listening to this song I think you are spot on, this is it! Difficult to recreate without an analog semi modular ms20 style but I will try in ableton. Its fine that in the song itself the answer to how they do it is indeed there... you hear how they keep slowing down the kick till it transforms into the bass

@@Darkviper777 Cheers! And yeah, figuring out how they made that crunchy bass is one thing, but actually reproducing/covering it _exactly_ how they played it, good F'n luck with that! lol I first tried setting the BPM multiplier on a pedal (since, you know, kick), but that was too sloppy. So I moved it to a modulation wheel, and that got me maybe 70% there, but I ran into the problem of trying to maintain any pitch accuracy at all. So I fed it into autotune, which helped, but autotune ended up smoothing it too much and it loses a lot of that "crunch". Ultimately I decided the best way was to just lay the bass line down as best as I could get it with the modulation wheel, and then manually editing the piano roll.... which quickly becomes very tedious and time consuming when you're dealing with upwards of 2600bpm (or around there, if if I remember right) to reproduce the glitchy "chirp" sounds. I also want to believe Röyksopp left the "instrument reveal" in the song because they wanted people to hear how they did it, because it feels like a "now you know, go try and replicate it and see what happens" situation. lol I'd love to know their exact method, because there must be a more efficient way than mine ended up.

I indeed tried in ableton, by using a 808 kick, and putting the sample end at 0,5% and looping it (as I dont know how to multiply tempo for a specific track) and it sounds spot on... fantastic!

My pleasure, glad I could be of help!

From Yotto on Cooper's Cup "It is a Sub 37 recorded through a Big Fuzz pedal doubled with a super old, shitty trombone sample and then just tweaked and saturated to shreds. I have a few ways of getting the sound. Generally quite a similar tone but there are many many ways to do it."

Same haha, does not sound at all like in this video

I think "rubber" is just a controller console (similar to FL studio's "Control Surface") which he has linked prefered effect controls to. Pay no attention to this as it can be added after you have made the sound you are aiming for. I'm trying to recreate this patch in FL studio and i have the basic sound dialed in but i'm not 100% happy with it so i need to play around with different effects and see if im able to make it better.

Thank you for replying! Would it be possible for you to share that patch when you're done? I really would like to learn how this sound works. And if I have a version that uses plugins I'm familiar with it may be way easier.

Hey, apologies for the late reply - yeah, "Rubber" in this case was just a custom effects rack I renamed. All of the knobs on the custom rack were connected to the VSTs in the chain. You can use Control Surface in FL like Formula400Pontiac mentioned.

i have been thinking this exactly for many years. this made me happy.

I think that Yotto produces on Logic and the bass sounds like from ES2 plugin :)

Moog + a horn sample. But many ways to make it. A Moog synth is perfect, as it gets close from the get go. Moogs always sound fat and big.
