Video: Making dubstep bass sounds without wavetables

@retroriff asked me to break down a patch I made for growls in SC, so I made a video demonstrating how I build this kind of sound up from scratch.

Loving your uploads! The title reminded me of:

My best monster bass sounds have come from FM8. People think they all come from Massive, but most of the ones that kids online are trying to recreate in Massive are actually from FM8.

Well, FM8 is doing frequency modulation of wavetable oscillators, so it’s not exclusive (and Massive can do FM too)

Amazing tutorial, thank you very much for sharing it. I have learnt a lot with it. Latch and fold2 were completely new to me. I’m eager to see your new videos.
