This is by far the best tutorial for creating this bass and I have watched many, well done! I managed to create similar sound with Synth1 but struggled with many other synths like ES2 or Alchemy. Seems like the sound requires something specific from the synth!
In the future when I release a darksynth ep I'll definitely get back to this tutorial. The bass sound is really important. Thanks Britney...ehm...Adele...umm...Nigel!
Dude, this is amazing. Thanks to your tutorial I was able to refine my main rhythm sound up to a point where I can say "Hell Yeah". Merci mon ami, et continuez vos excellentes vidéos :P Moi aussi, j'adore Harmless!
Subbed for this and your other synthwave tutorials. You are doing the lord's work, sir. Also, you should do a Com Truise tutorial (lol) [unless you already made one, then I am stunned]
Minus trying to figure out what hotkeys, and working twice with your corrections, and going back to slow down the video to watch where your clicking, AND THEN the classic video edit switcharoo! this was a great lesson on how not to waste time! ^_^`
@@abrahamphilip302 In the Mix SeamlessR Both those guys use patcher a lot in their tutorials. In the Mix does a better job of teaching a full tutorial on it. You tube botches up comments with direct links so youll have to do a search for patcher with their names.
@@abrahamphilip302 But to put it basically. You make an instrument in the channel / pattern area. Use the plugin "patcher" as the instrument. Right click the background and select "to add a plugin". Then start adding the plugin instrumnents to patcher. After that use the green and yellow arrows to draw pathways the sound will follow between plugins to the output. Doubleclick any plugin in patcher to open it up and tweak settings.
Great intro to this type of synth. Having created these, I'm still nowhere near that sound, its wetness and integrity, the cross fading and other effects I still gotta learn so much! But thanks this vid is incredible, you're the reason I bought Harmless
Nice tutorial. It'd be cool if you took the time to explain what all of the knobs and settings do and and see you experiment to get there, though. Right now it feels more like following a recipe without really understanding why it works, and that's what I really want to know so that I can make my own sound. I know it'd be a lot longer, but I'd gladly watch hours worth of that. Either way, thanks!
Can you make any recommendations about replicating the sound you get from Ohmicide with FL studio's built-in distortion effects? If you know how to get the distortion to even come close, that would be great.
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DO NOT HAVE HARMLESS AND ARE POOR: I found a way to do this with Synth1 which is a free VST. Contact me if you want to know roughly how I figured it out.
Cool Video and thanks for showing how to create that synth Wave. Short question: What kind of Drumssound did you use there? Can you recommend a vsti or Sampler?
Do you have any tips on how you could replicate the what i can only describe as a "wubwubwub" from Knock Knock- scattle (hotline miami 1 ost) or from this one video called Hotline mystery by jerry terry?
After some asking around with some buddies, It involves LFO and dithering but i cant tell what kind of waveform its using, sawtooth? square? even then it still sounds off.
This'll sound stupid but I'm going to ask anyway, can you play VST's using a hardware synthesizer or you need to use a MIDI keyboard? I'm real curious about it because I'm going into this stuff. (Synthwave/Darksynth)
I've tried to recreate those basslines in Sylenth, but i don't have even any skill in music at all. But I still liked Sylenth a bit more though, if you could understand how it works I think you may make any desired sound
Hey Nigel i got a question for ya! i'm trying to make a remix for "phendrana drifts" from metroid prime with more of a vein in the M83 side of synthwave, so far i'm pulling influences from the track "oblivion" since they both have the same BPM but having trouble getting a drum section that works, it typically sounds like two tracks played parallel any ideas how to solve this?
I get a really annoying volume spike right at the beginning when played through the piano roll. I used the presets which work fine except for 'The Encounter Brut 2' preset which has the same irritating volume spike. Does anyone else have a similar issue and solution?
And here I am still using Sunvox.. Honestly, the fact that I'm still not using FL Studio has transitioned into me just being stubborn.. I'm gonna stick with it for just a little bit longer, since I'm trying to deliver a somewhat decent EP solely using free tools. Albumtime, yeah I'm gonna reach for FL.. Or Bitwig, or Renoise, or possibly I'll stick with free tools depending on how well the EP is received.. Time to make a soundcloud account.. Thanks for sharing Nigel, this'll get me started with some nice darkwave.
Idk if you're still active but I've been looking into your vids and FL Studio which edition do you have? Is it producer or a higher one? And is the $100 worth it?
I actually got a cb/perturbator style distorted lead in caustic(a mobile daw of all things!) with a slightly tweaked default preset on a fairly simple subtractive synth mixed with some distortion and chorus, I can give the project file if anyone wants it :D
Man, i know its been a while but if you Still have the project file, i would appreciate If you gave it to me. If you don't, I'll understand, caustic is unfortunately is dying anyway
@@pixtoladelego I don't know if I have that exact project file anymore since I don't have the device I made it on anymore and I don't remember if I moved it over, but I can see if I can try to find it or remake it
@@jlewwis1995 That's okay man, I'm still trying to make these sounds with the Modular Synth and im doing.. "well" i guess, of course is far far away from a Perturbator or Carpenter Brut Track but I'm happy with the results
hey dude, I use your tutorials and things are working out, but I am still learning the notes and stuff. I only have a question, how can I do a similar style to dance with the dead if you know how to ?
Amazing video, I've been trying to create this sound for 2 years! I bought IL Harmless because of this video...I use cubase 6.5, I managed to recreate this sound but it keeps crashing cubase :(
This tutorial is *exactly* what I was looking for, watching it drove me totally coconut (sorry man, I'm still figuring out how to speak your language :D ). I have a question tho : at 10:37 you mention some legato effect but I couldn't find it anywhere, where is it exactly? Anyone? Anyway thanx for the tutorial & keep up the good work!
this might be a noobie question, but while making the melodies i cant help but hear that using piano roll, during the attack of the note, the rise from all the bass, it gives a precussive sound due to this rise, and during your melodies, i couldnt help but hear that there was no attack, but a continuation, almost like you used a stutter effect, what am i doing wrong to not achieve this effect.
Hello, my dude. I don't know if you've already discovered this, but after much knob-turning and experimenting, I found out that the way to achieve that effect is to turn the "phase" knob next to "Timbre" all the way to the right. Hope I helped you.
I have harmless, and im doing excatly what you are , but i just can't make it sound like in the video. very nice Edit: Nevermind im a dumbass who still had a preset on
Just getting started with FL studio. I followed the tutorial but your sound is considerably faster than mine. I changed time signature to fit more notes in, but how do I get the notes to play faster without messing with the BPM?
Zoom right in and make your note lengths short enough that you can fit 32 of them per bar, but then program them with gaps between just like a regular 16ths. Alternatively just fill all 16 steps on the step editor and then open the piano roll and shorten every note. (Highlight all, hold ALT and drag to the left is one method).
WAIT WAIT WAIT!!! OMG HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE... i know a bassline from Hotline Miami and i loved it and wanted to make it. i never knew how to and now i know it. :D thx
The short notes are playing 16ths, but have the length of 32nds. i.e. if you zoomed in and placed them right next to each other, you could fit in 32 per bar.
Thanks for this bro! I really appreciate the videos and your humour. I just want MORE! and LONGER! I want to see how you create a a song of your own from scratch.
"tha'ts bananas, that's absolutely coconuts" best thing ive ever heard
I’m stealing this!
There is no way that that making this synth will turn you French, dont be ludicrous fromage mon ami.
It aint easy being cheesy
Literally can't think of anything other than Dexter's lab tbh

For anyone watching in 2021, you can make all 3 SAW instruments + distortion in 1 Patcher. Then save the patcher preset and you got an instrument.
How tf do you do that ?, tut please

Definitely will work (if you haven't tried it already).
