Mechanimal launched its first live in October 2009 and has been
blasting full power trance music around the globe since. Now with
over 20 successful releases and ever growing experience Mechanimal released its debut album rocking dancefloors worldwide!
Psychedelic e-Mag catches up with Mechanimal for this month’s music production tutorial:
Making a bass line using NI Kontakt
Saw wave
Record a saw wave from your favorite VST or hardware synth in the key of your track (in this case G0).
Make sure it’s a long sample such as two bars and recorded loud without clipping.
Program
Open an instance of Kontakt, program a bass line and drag your new saw wave sample into Kontakt.
Filters
Go to group insert effects and select a LowPass filter of your preference. I have chosen Ladder LP2
Key Mapping
Press the spanner to open up the Sample Editor [RED], select Mapping Editor [BLUE] and drag the yellow zone to your key (in this case G0) [PINK] and strech the zone to fill the full keyboard [GREEN]
Envelope
Select Mod > Add Modulator > Elvelopes > AHDSR from the filter you selected. Here it’s ldrL2.
Scroll down the Cut-Off envelope and adjust the settings to taste. In this case I have given it no attack,
medium decay, low sustain and full release
