We’ll use this subtle difference to our advantage in a bit! Now, you’re going to be like, wait that doesn’t sound very different.

So, your filter section should now look and sound like this: Filter 2 should be set to “Bandpass” with Cutoff and Resonance both set to about 12:45.

Next, we’ll move onto the filter settings.

Your synth should now look and sound like this: For OSC 2, simply change the waveform to “Sin-Tri” and turn the Amp all the way up here as well. Also, set the F1-F2 slider all the way to F1, and change Spectrum to “Bend+.” We’ll come back to that in a minute. Set OSC 1 to “Vulgar,” with the Wt-position fully clockwise, Intensity set to about 9:00, and Amp turned all the way up. Next, you’ll want to get your OSC waveforms just right. ( *note: In case yours looks different, Massive may open with different initial patches if you open the program in a DAW versus in standalone mode, the below instruction was done in a DAW.) To get started, set your instance of Massive to the Init setting. This tutorial is going to show you how to turn your Massive VST (you have Massive, right?) into the sputtering, splashy low-end you’ve always wanted.

Oh, who are we kidding? We kinda do love creating things to do our farting for us. But we’re here to prove that you can be classy even when your synth is being gassy!Īfter helping thousands of you out there make laser noises and blow up intergalactic vessels, we set out to see how to replicate one of the most hilarious sound-design effects we could think of. From those original Moog modulators to the current craze in analog, it’s been a dogged critique of synthesists - that as non-instrumentalists, all they’re good for is making fart noises on your techno tracks. Synthesists are notorious for their tapestries of bleeps, bloops, burps, and farts. + Learning about synthesis?
