[Csnd] Wobble bass sound

Subject[Csnd] Wobble bass sound
Hi!

I am trying to get a simple wobble bass instrument (like the bass
lines used in dubstep)
I'm new to sound synthesis, so i'm kinda playing this by ear.

I have read that basically a wobble bass is a LFO as cutoff value for
a low-pass filter.
(http://www.dubstepforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=67507)

So i made this .csd, and it sounds like a good start to me, but i
can't make it work for more than a few seconds, and then it goes mute.

-------------------------
.csd follows:
-------------------------




sr = 44100
ksmps = 128
nchnls = 2
0dbfs = 1.0
instr 1

abass oscil 0.5,440
kcoff oscil 100,20

aout lowpass2 abass, kcoff, 30

out aout,aout

endin


i1 0 5



---------------------------------------------------

Any ideas on how to make it work?

Thanks in advance,
Germán

Hello German,
there is a nice Wobble Bass by Jacob Joaquin here:

Also you're sending a sine tone through the filter. For the filter to be effective, you'd probably want a complex spectrum rather than a single frequency.

For that kind of sound and style, sawtooths are a good start in terms of waveform. Depends if you want a clean wobbly sub or more of a reese/mid range wobble bass, if the latter is the case the more harmonics in the original signal the better. 

Drum and bass is always a good reference and inspiration for this kind of sound design, they've been at it a lot longer than the dub step crowd. ;)

Art: That's because it's a test, but anyway the sound lasts less than
that, someting like 2 seconds or less

Francesco: Thank you (and Jacob) very much!! You saved my day! That's
what i'm looking for!

Peiman: I was actually reading a sound file, but i changed it for that
sine wave and it worked anyway, not sure how nor why. Maybe my
approach "worked" by pure luck, i tried some other low-pass filters
and the only one that worked was this one :P

Dominic: Thanks for your comments. I'll give it a try once i get this
thing working.

Thanks everybody!
German

SubjectRe: [Csnd] Wobble bass sound
I see that you're controlling the cut-off frequency using an oscillator with an amplitude of 100. What's actually happening is that the value will oscillate between 100 and -100 via zero. This might be causing instabilities in the filter. You should offset the output of the modulator so that it oscillates between, say 20 and 100. Try something like this:

kcoff oscil .5, 20
kcoff = (kcoff+.5)*100+20

Also do you really want the modulation frequency to be 20Hz? 
   
Best,
Peiman
