Help with Reese Bass

[lhd]

So I'm trying to learn how to make Reese bass in either Rapture or Reason. I watched a tutorial using three different Maelstrom synths thats actually really helpful. However, I can't get all three of the fuckers to play at one time! This guy used a combinator to connect them all somehow but he doesn't show you how to set up everything. I don't know what I'm doing and I don't know how to get three synths to run at once like that. Anybody got a walk-through on this for me?

Widdler's psycho skank playing with your sig ^^ is pure comedy.

This ^^ I don't understand? However, I will say MUWHAHAHAHAHA!!
Thanks for the turorial link b/c that was all I needed. I'll have tracks out on Hyperdub by the end of the week now! hehe

thanks again for the help. I posted what I'm workin on in the thread for what i'm workin on. Imagine that!

detuned saw waves played low down and distortion. then you can go mad with processing and filters if you want.

technically a proper reese sound is made with pulse waves and pwm then lowpassed. but thats not what most people would refer to as a reese these days (i.e. mid rangey distorted noise) - more deep hooever sub drone (most obvious example is ray kieth - terrorist. originally from some techno tune by kevin saunderson)

no pulse wave and pwm is a hoover

[phosphor]

make a basic reese with a bit of movement (lfo's and such)

draw out a long note and bounce it, load it up in a sampler

high pass to take out the bottom end (up to about 100 hz)

split into a couple different frequency ranges

apply appropriate effects to each band

buss back together and layer with a sine sub playing the same note

from there, you can modulate etc. or even resample and fuck with it more

here is an example i made in reason...

Create a line mixer, then create the 3 malstroms, then take the outs of the 3 malstroms and put them into the line mixer (effect and eq each one as you please). THEN combine the malstroms and take the output of the line mixer into the combinator. When you play the combinator it will now play all 3 of the malstroms.

Detuned saw waves, lots of them.

Filter as you deem appropriate, as mentioned above somewhere it's well worth taking the bottom out of it and layering a sine sub line underneath to help fatten it out a bit

Whack it through some modulation effects to add some movement to the sound, phaser, flanger, chorus.

Compress together, resample, BANG! and the Reese is done.

create a combinator then inside that create a mixer, then create 3 malstroms and draw your midi notes in the "combinator" section on the sequencer then it will play all 3 malstroms...........i really wish they would make a vsti of malstrom...i fucking love that synth

oh yeah thats right, pwm on a saw. cant do that with most things though, was an old juno they used originally i think.

Gotta quote myself here.....

For the benifit of clarity, I'd like to point out that hoovers and reeses are regularly confused, mixed up and identified wrongly.

Hoover = pulse wave + pulse width modulation, maybe some pitch bend on the attack portion of the sound

Reese = saw waves, oscillator detune + low pass filter

Compare Hoover against Reese

Perhaps heavily distorted Reeses begin to sound like Hoovers, but if you try to distort a real Hoover, it will sound like shit.

As an aside, using phase modulation can achieve some pretty tasty hoover sounds too

(Just letting off steam... That shit vexxes me immensly haha! I need to get out more.)

Aaaaaargh! (Stabs himself in the eye)
