Michael Wynne builds four common bass types from scratch in Serum, starting each from a basic waveform, and explains the synthesis behind them so they carry over to any synth.

Four building-block bass sounds, each explained from the oscillator up, so you understand the patch rather than just copying it.

  3. 6:40 Pluck/House Bass
  4. 11:30 Growl Bass
