Any experts know what synth this is

[mashmash]

I have been trying to find out what synthesizer was used for basslines in a lot of old speed garage / bassline house tunes. i have also heard it in hard house and old happy hardcore. it has a specific sound





I've heard it might be a roland juno-106

I dont know much about hardware, but i think that is probably heavily detuned square waves with a filter envelope assigned and some chorus or something like that, id imagine you can get very similar results using soft synths.
Edit: P.s Im not a synth expert.

yeah, i know how to make the basic sound, but trying to find out what the synthesizer was. i've looked around and looks like it was probably a preset on the yamaha dx7 or dx100 or something, the basses sound a bit similar to the 'donk' sound which was made using a yamaha dx7

low passed detuned square waves with a bit of chorus, feedback and distortion. Someone here once said that it was a Korg Triton preset called feedback lead, something like that.

they do sound similar to a donk actually. funny the widdler uses a donk in one of his songs i think prehistoric something or other. and in his q&a thread someone asked how he made the donk. he actually replied "lol a friend made that for me because i couldn't seem to make a decent sounding donk for the life of me."

i just thought id bring that up. but yeah i quite like the sound, im gonna have a play with it later.

It sounded FM like to me, so its prob the DX7.

I'm pretty sure that's what it is for the first 2. The 3rd, I'm not so sure.

Source: I have a 106 & I'm old (the 106 was almost the standard analog synth for any producer back in the Speed Garage days).
I also owned a DX100 and can say that it's not from that.Or, at least, it's not a standard sound on the DX. Back in those days FM was really frowned upon... all people wanted was analog subtractive synths. FM was considered a relic of the 80's.

I really can't weigh in on this at all as my knowledge is minimal it seems compared to others. But, I do get very similar sounds using square waves and modulating an opening filter and the resonance of the filter. I know the word "donk" has been used to describe the sound, but to me I think of more like when a water drop hits still water, and the sound it makes when the surrounding water/splash water, sets back into the rest.

just sharing
