How do you achieve that?

Talking about the distortion, how do you get such a clean sound? Is that a fuzz? Can't figure out...

Its the Qawwali VIP wob straight when it kicks in.

When using distortion i always seperate and layer my bass by frequency, the cleaner you want it the more your gonna have to layer. BUt leave the the sub frequencies (or anything below 80-90) clean.

What does "send" exactly refers to? I've seen that in kontakt but I don't use it much yet.

I figured that but it doesn't quite tell me what kind of processing is involved :?

a simple technique and can add depth and harmonics is:
to duplicate the midi notes, create a new instance of the bass synth with same patch but change the fillering to a high-pass or boast the resonance and play around the cut off,

what thump rat said. also, get a parametric eq and scoop out the mids (200 - 500 hz) to achieve a "hollow" square bass effect. works damn well if you do it right... but eq before and after distortion in a send works great.

send - the audio from a given track is sent to another track that is dedicated to and effect or chain of effects and then you can mix the affected signal with the clean one so that you can keep as much of the original qualities of the sound as you'd like. really dope way to process tracks and keep things subtle. i used to use inserts, but i mostly use sends now. Unless i want to high pass a kick so that it sits well with the sub, or something blatant to that effect.

Let's see if I get this right: basicly it's just about having 1 dry & 1 wet channels of the same track, innit?

yes yes! but you can send other channels to the wet track as well, and you can determine how much of each 'dry' channel gets sent to the 'wet' channel. ULTIMATE CONTROL - ULTIMATE POWER!
