Skaul Forma Bass

This is going to be a bit of a long one but bare with me. :)

Create a Combinator
Create Line Mixer 6:2 inside the Combinator
Create Thor
__________________________________
Turn on all 3 Oscillators
Osc 1 - Analog - Oct 3 - Square - PW: 50

Osc 2 - FM Pair - Oct 3
Carrier: 2 ; Mod: 3
FM: 45

Osc 3 - FM Pair - Oct 2
Carrier: 4 ; Mod: 5
FM: 50

Filt 1 - Low Pass Ladder Filter
Freq: 120Hz
Env : 0

Mixer- Osc 1 and 2 Balance: 82

Osc 3 Level: -0.0dB ( All the way up)

Shaper = On > Wrap ; Drive = 100

Send Osc 1 and 2 through to Filt 2

Filt 2 - Comb Filter = Comb - (minus)
Freq - 124 Hz ; Res: 88

LFO 1 - Tempo Sync
Rate: (these will be automated later)

LFO 2 - Tempo Sync
Select waveform 6 (downward slope)
Rate( these will be automated later)

Turn the Filter Env and Amp Env Sustain all the way up so we dont loose level over time and finally Activate Filter 3 and create a Formant

Filter
Turn the Gender knob just about all the way round clockwise
Finally, Move the X slider to about 90 and the Y slider to 80

In the Bus Routing Matrix copy the settings below

Thor 1
Source> Amount > Dest
_______________________
LFO 1 > 45 > Osc 1 PW
LFO 1 > 50 > Osc 2 FM Amt
LFO 1 > 40 > Osc 3 FM Amt
LFO 1 > 30 > Filt2 Freq
LFO 1 > 80 > Filt3 X

LFO 2 > 90 > Filt1 Freq
LFO 2 > 28 > Filt 2 FM
LFO 2 > 75 > Filt 3 Y

Right click on Thor and select copy patch

Create 2 more Thor synth in the combinator.
Right click on each and select Paste Patch

You should now have 3 thor synths
In the Line Mixer pan the 2nd thor to about 30 to the left and the 3rd thor to 30 aswell. on the third Thor open up the buss routing section and "invert" all amounts
Also LFO 1 should be controlling Filter 3 Y instead of Filter X and LFO 2 should be controlling Filt 3

X instead of 3 Y. This really widens up the sound and creates a very nasty dirty sounding bass. It should look like this:

Thor 3
___________________________
LFO 1 > -45 > Osc 1 PW
LFO 1 > -50 > Osc 2 FM Amt
LFO 1 > -40 > Osc 3 FM Amt
LFO 1 > -30 > Filt2 Freq
LFO 1 > -80 > Filt3 Y

LFO 2 > -90 > Filt 1 Freq
LFO 2 > -28 > Filt 2 FM
LFO 2 > -75 > Filt 3 X

Lastly Create Scream 4 on the 2nd and 3rd Thors load the "EazyFuzz" patch.

On the same Thors Create MClass Equalizer turn on
PARAM 1 and take the Freq to about 2.8 kHz bring the Gain all the way down and set the Q at 11.

Final step!
On the combinator click the show programmer button and select the first instance of Thor

Copy below:
Source Target

Rotary1 LFO 1 Rate
Rotary2 LFO 2 Rate


Now do the same for the other 2 Thors in the combinator and you're done.

I'm not going to go over how to compress and EQ because I know everybody has there own tastes. Though include all of that in the Combinator patch I have for download.
