Set the octave of to 16 to use it as a sub-oscillator. Now it‘s time to transform the sawtooth sound, rich in overtones, into a snapping bass sound. To do this, move the control in the section to 0.82 and all the way up. For a more present sound, we select a of 12 dB and increase the resonance () to 1.28. Then adjust the two envelopes as shown in the picture and activate for . The J-8‘s Unison function is the key to getting the fat, floating sound you want. Activate this by clicking on under . Then increase to 7 in the section and set to 1.43 and to 10.00. If you turn up the VCO in the section, the sound will become even more present, as intended. Now only a pinch of reverb is missing, for which we use the Valhalla Plate [2] plug-in. The sound plays a continuous sixteenth-note sequence in which the notes C2, G2, A # 2 and C3 are repeated over and over again.
