Any tips on how to get phat sounds like this out of the Virus?

  • Are these sounds phat, or are they dirty?
    Anyways, the character of this bass is that the oscillators are used in layers, each at a different octave, starting from the sub oscillator, which is always an octave below oscillator 1 (IIRC - correct me if I'm wrong, I always tend to forget this), and oscillator 2 can be +12 semitones, and you can even use oscillator 3 the same way. Further detuning / hypersawing / chorusing / phasing / unison can make it even more fuzzy.
    The clip was too short to get an impression of the lead, but while it doesn't seem to have that many layers, the fuzzyness explained above seems to come into play there. It also has some attack that is achieved by lowering the sustain of the ADSR curve.
