I absolutely love Eptic's use of formants and square waves. I feel like he has some experience in Chiptune, because a lot of his intro synths are kept very square and 8-bit almost..?

Anyways..
Does anyone have any information or tutorials regarding Eptic?

I truly love his synths.

I second this, or any tutorials/help regarding making formants well, more than just a ear-splitting buzz.

That's just what Google has thrown up.

Already seen those two videos and two links. I'm wanting to learn more betond those 4 sources. There should be more for Eptic considering he's released a LOT of tracks. (2 EP's and a few unreleased singles.)

I posted one a while back on his basic sound he uses alot.


I know its VERY VERY simple and doesn't need a tutorial but i aimed it at newcomers to massive plus i wanted to show how some of the top producers use the very simplest of sounds

Tweaked about for awhile, and remade the last 55 seconds of his song "Like A Boss." I got that grindy bass down perfectly using a very distorted, somewhat bitcrushed square and formant together, lowpass 2, and an LFO on the Cutoff with the wave form set to that long saw shape only, givin it that plucking down sound repeated. Then it was just a matter of tweaking with 3 oscilators which I'm fairly certain are incorrect but it aounds quite right.. Just missing something. I'll post it below soon.

Here it is. What do you think?

I found this one helped me think in a new way,

Anyone know whats going on in this drop?



Sounds like things are pushed back or like the sound is covered by a film that makes things hazier

That really loud whitenoise/crash? hiss-hiss-hiss-hiss

They are often just combinations of square and saw waves with a lot of tube distortion

Nah

Just threw the track into live and put on an autofilter to sweep through and see. There's a lot of reverb in the mid/high range to make the synths sit farther back and he bumped up the bass a ton. Not sure if that's a plain sub though, the bass sounds more... aggressive? idk maybe im overthinking this. Just dont think I've hear any other drop like this.
