About this sample

This mono bassline loop runs at 120 BPM for two bars in A minor, featuring a syncopated rhythm with sixteenth-note steps. It blends warm sawtooth and triangle waveforms with a mix ratio favoring saw waves, and each note has a slight pitch sweep from 1.2% above the main frequency down to the root pitch over 65 ms. The sound uses a resonant envelope-controlled filter sweeping the cutoff from 230 Hz up to around 2330 Hz with a pronounced Q of 3.8, shaped by short ADSR envelopes for both filter and amplitude. The final bass tone is high-passed at 28 Hz, saturated for warmth with a drive of 1.8, low-passed at 4200 Hz, and sidechained subtly with a 4-step division.

This bass loop suits nu-disco and similar dance genres around 120 BPM, fitting well in grooves needing rhythmic movement and warmth. It can be layered with higher harmonic elements or percussion but watch for low-end clashes due to its rich saturation and pronounced filter movement. Use gentle compression or EQ to maintain clarity in the mix, especially if combined with other bass sounds.
