Another "how do you make this sound" thread

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXkR...feature=related

It comes in at :33, I hear this effect a lot, not usually this obvious, but I'd like to figure out how to make it.

Has anyone used this effect in their music before?

could be a TB-303 with lots of FX!
I heard sounds like that come out of rebirth!

Sounds like a saw synth or maybe saw + square with unison run through a bandpass filter with high resonance and custom automation.

Here is a cheap-sounding quickie example:

That actually sounded pretty close, though it sounds a bit too resonant... the original sounds much more "solid", maybe the same synth is doubled as an octave, without resonance on the lower part? I know that was a quick example, just thinking out loud.

I'll see if I can come up with anything with that.

You might want to try adding noise to give it some extra edge:

If you take that sort of sound, turn the filter to lowpass, turn off the filter env, but keep the custom automation, you can get something like this:

Shades of early 2000s Bedrock dark prog.
