Description: Video course on creating piercing dubstep basslines on the NI MaSSiVe

No music genre is more connected to Massive than dubstep. The top dubstep producers rely on Massive to help create their signature sounds.
The reason they rely on Massive is its innate ability to create the screams, growls, and screeches so unique to dubstep. This is partially due to its modular structure, as well as the speed with which a producer can set up complex routing and effects chains.
Massive has many options and possibilities. It can be a little overwhelming at first. This series of 6 videos is like having a pro producer as an on-call coach, ready to assist your learning instantly.
Stab Bass – Banging Accents
Since the early days of electronic music unique stab bass sounds have been an important part of electronic music. In this video you will learn:
Which core wavetables are used repeatedly in dubstep (And how they can be used to quickly shape thousands of new sounds.)
A new way to enrich the harmonic content of a patch.
The critical role of gates and when to apply them.
An easy way to get the most out of Massive’s “Saturn Rings.”
Two mistakes to avoid when using LFO’s to animate a cutoff’s movement.
How to use monophonic slides to create gorgeous harmonic changes within the same bar.
How to add voices and decide whether to use monophonic or polyphonic.
The fastest way to choose which modulation oscillator feature carries to all other oscillators.
How to use monophonic slides to create gorgeous harmonic changes within the same bar.
Wobble Bass – The Dubstep Signature
If there is one bass sound that we get asked about more than any other, it’s the wobble bass. The trick is to produce the core sound while adding personal touches that set your sound apart. In this v
ideo you will discover:
How to blend intensity and pitch controls for unheard of sounds.
The best way to keep phase notes low to prevent squelchiness.
How to use bright noise to add air and space.
How and when to best utilize the Scream filter.
How to use LFO sine waves to add movement and character to the basic wobble sound.
How to use pitch on a comb filter to get add a wavy, spacey effect to the wobble
Here’s the best way to get a great sounding bass: use frequency splitting, making sure each harmonic range has its own loudness, effects and stereo image.

The Riser – add tension
In this video we move on to put together a Riser Bass and take a closer look at Massive’s envelopes. Whether vocal or instrumental, a riser is an important part of electronic music. They add tension in critical sections and set up the perfect drop.
How to modulate parameters that are critical to breakdowns and risers without using portamento or glide.
Why you should set up 2 oscillators and how to get a consistent harmonic difference between them.
Little mistakes to avoid when setting envelopes to modulate the pitch over extreme attack and decay settings.
How to use ring-modulation to add zest to an envelope pattern.
The dirty little procedure that creates maximum sound presence with a full selection of voices.
An amazing little adjustment that cuts low rumble problems during extreme risers.
Yoi Bass – Talk
After the Wobble Bass, the Yoi Bass is probably the most requested technique. While different sounds come and go in electronic music, the Yoi Bass has been popular in Dubstep for several years now. In this video you will discover:
How to manipulate waveforms to emulate speech.
A new way to find the “sweet spot” for oscillator start points.
Why the Performer is considered essential to take your modulation to the limit without using your DAW’s automation options.
The single most important part of creating a vocaloid synth that will change your productions forever.
A quick way to create custom modulation with different curves on the Performer grid.
How the wavetable position affects the overall sound.
How to crank up the multiple parameters to get a nice dirty vibe.
