Devastating Bass

2000-01-31 by David Bivins

In my continuing quest for loud, obnoxious sounds to use in my crappy techno
music, I came across this:

TB-303 CV out -> MOTM-420-1 (self-oscillating) 1v/oct in
MOTM-420-1 out -> MOTM-120 (square) A in
TB-303 (sawtooth) headphone out -> MOTM 120 (square) B in
MOTM-120 out -> MOTM-420-2 (hi pass, cutoff low, res high) in
MOTM-420-2 out -> MOTM-110 in
TB-303 gate out -> MOTM-800 in
MOTM-800 neg out -> MOTM-420-2 reversed FM1 in
MOTM-800 pos out -> MOTM-110 CV in

You get a solid, buzzy bass out of the second 420 in high pass mode, but the
resonance adds a very deep rumble to the whole thing. Sounds like someone's
coming down the beanstalk for you!

I was inspired by a recent Analogue Heaven post talking about using the
Yamaha CS resonant filters in high pass mode for bass.

I know, I know. I need to buy a couple oscillators, 'cause I'm not doing
anything special here. But it sounds so good!
