This one-second plucked bass features a mix of sawtooth and square waves at E1 (41.2 Hz), blending harmonic richness with a woody analog tone. A 4-pole low-pass filter sweeps its cutoff downward from 2500 Hz to 150 Hz quickly, producing the characteristic pluck effect. The sound has a fast 2 ms attack and an exponential decay amplitude envelope, with added tanh saturation for analog warmth and subtle harmonic distortion. A 30 Hz high-pass filter removes sub-rumble, and the final output is normalized to -3 dB in stereo.
Ideal for disco, funk, and vintage house tracks around moderate tempos, this bass pluck works well as a rhythmic low-end element. Layer it with sustained pads or drum grooves, and avoid boosting low frequencies too much in the mix to prevent muddiness. The defined transient and warmth make it suitable for both sampled basslines and live synth layering.
