Reese bass distorted 5 seconds

About this sample

This 5-second distorted Reese bass features four detuned sawtooth oscillators centered around 43.65 Hz (F1), detuned by -20, -7, +7, and +20 cents for a rich, beating stereo texture. A notch filter between 200 and 400 Hz sculpts a hollow midrange before a two-stage distortion chain adds aggressive neurofunk grit and post-filter warmth. The sound is further shaped by a low-pass filter at 800 Hz and a high-pass at 25 Hz to control harshness and sub rumble. The amplitude envelope has a sharp 5 ms attack, full sustain, and a 200 ms release for a punchy, dynamic one-shot.

This bass suits neurofunk, drum and bass, and other bass-heavy electronic genres with tempos that allow focused low-end. It works well layered with sub-bass or percussive elements but watch for midrange masking due to its characteristic hollow notch. Use EQ and stereo imaging strategically to maintain clarity and presence in complex mixes.
