Next up we’ll engage the filter to control the frequencies a little more. In the section below we call up the triangle wave for a more garage-like tone. Kicking off with a ‘New Sound’ we navigate straight to the Vol envelope to back off the attack to 38ms, to soften the transient a touch. Here’s the MIDI we’ve used for the bass : You can program this into any DAW and if you have Sublab, you’re good to go. If you want to follow along, here is the MIDI notes. We’ll also show you how they fit in the context of a garage tune.

In this example, we’re going to sound design three examples and show you how to synthesise them. With over 250 kick samples to choose from, or drop your own (and it reads the key) there’s plenty to choose from. This oscillator works as a sub-bass maximizer to achieve consistent, accurate and deep subs on any speaker system. SubLab is designed to be simple but does come with X-Sub™, a psychoacoustic sub-bass oscillator.

Created by the clever folk at Future Audio Workshop, Sublab is an 808 synth designed for hip-hop, future bass and trap genres. 808s are popular right across the board in electronic music, and Sublab is more than equipped at providing all manner of speaker shaking bass from classic and conventional tackle right through to modern and more experimental approaches.īefore we begin, a word about SubLab. In this Synth Secrets, we’ll be taking a look at some 808 sound design using Sublab from Future Audio Workshop.
