Volume and MAYBE a LITTLE bit to pitch.

Or use two detuned sine waves together - the phase cancellation causes a kind of wobble effect...

this is what I do when i want a wobble on the sub. i would definitely use a wobble on the sub if you have strong mid range wobbles. Often in peoples tracks you can hear the sub quite seperately from the wobbles, I prefer it when the sound sounds completely unified.

you don't need much wobble on the sub though, just a little bit to give it some movement (in time with the mids, if you have em).

but, whatever, go nuts

yea man, go into arangment mode....then bring up massive, click the ratio box that changes the speed of the lfo (like 1/8 1/4 etc) and a pink line should show up saying massive modular .... bingo

Either

1.LFO -> volume (already mentioned)
2.Have 2 waves (Sine,Tri/Square) then have the filter set really low, it will give you a really low wobble but without the midrange if done right

lfo > cutoff on 12db lpf filter

set the range to about 10%

play with the settings till you get the wobble you want

or you could apply it to the volume, there's loads of ways to make stuff wobble

just learn how to use the lfo's to control different settings ie. pitch / seperation / cutoff and res. etc

then use multiple lfo's for some crazy wobz

on a sine wave its the same as LFO->volume

2 sines detuned by 33 cents in the opposite direction to each other can be pretty cool

or just get a big, nasty, full-frequency midrange wob going---one that's got a ton of low-end in it-- and lowpass.
