How to make the best 808 style Trap Bass with Massive!

In this super quick & super cool tutorial we will make the super best 808 trap bass!! It is really easy.

You can watch the video tutorial, read the steps, or just download the patch!

Step 1 : House Keeping
We will only be using OSC 1, so I like to shut everything else off as a house keeping thing... or my OCD, or whatever. You can shut off OSC 2 and 3, Modulation, Noise, and both of the inserts.

Step 2 : OSC 1

For the oscillator choose the Sin - Square wave table and pull the wave table knob almost all the way to the left. You can go all the way, but I think a big of the square wave adds to the warmth of the bass, and it will help its presence on smaller speakers.

My midi clip's root note is an F2, so I will drop the pitch of the OSC down -24 semitones, or 2 octaves.

You can also go ahead and grab Envelope 1 and apply it to the pitch automation section. Pull it up around +20 semitones. We will edit the envelope in a bit.

Step 3 : Voicing

Go to the voicing tab and select Monorotate from the options.

• Monorotate is a special monophonic mode in which two notes are always played alternatively. If a new note is played while the previous one is still held, the old note will stop and the new one will start, just as in the normal monophonic mode described above. However, the old one will be faded out quickly to ensure that the abrupt stop of this note will not cause a click. This can be done as the new note is started on another layer of voices.

Step 4 : Envelope 1

This envelope is to kick the 808 sub bass a bit of punch at the beginning. Making it essentially a kick sound, instead of just a bass sound.

Make Envelope 1 look like this.

This is the main envelope. Make the settings look like this.
