A gritty and aggressive analog bass synth with a square wave character, driven hard to create a powerful and raw low-end foundation.

Recording Notes

• The Minimoog's square wave oscillator was likely used as the primary sound source.
• Overdriving the Minimoog's mixer section or using an external preamp could achieve the distorted tone.
• Direct injection (DI) was probably used to capture the raw, unfiltered sound of the synthesizer.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a square wave oscillator on your synthesizer.
• Increase the resonance slightly to add emphasis to the harmonic content.
• Experiment with overdrive or distortion to achieve the aggressive edge.
• Use EQ to shape the tone, boosting the low frequencies for added weight and cutting any harsh high frequencies.
