About this sample

This plucked bassline features short, punchy notes built from a mix of sawtooth and doubled-frequency triangle waves, emphasizing the root, minor third, fourth, and fifth degrees of an F# minor scale. Each note lasts about 82% of a sixteenth note at 100 BPM, with a tight ADSR envelope shaping a quick attack and moderate decay, creating a percussive, plucked effect. A resonant lowpass filter sweeps from 180 Hz up to around 2580 Hz with a Q of 3.8, adding a dynamic filter pluck character. The sound is mono, lightly saturated for analog warmth, with a 3-pole lowpass at 2800 Hz and highpass at 30 Hz to control the bass range cleanly.

This bassline suits funky, groovy genres at mid-tempos around 100 BPM and can be layered under drums or synths for rhythmic drive. It works well in mixes that need clear, defined low end without muddiness, so avoid excessive low-frequency boosting. Processing with subtle compression or parallel distortion can enhance its punch and presence without losing clarity.
