in electro music, the bass usually sounds like the pitch is being moved up and down between different notes, instead of the bass actually hitting the notes. how are electro producers able to create this kind of sound? it seems more complicated than just automating the pitch wheel up and down.

this is kind of difficult to phrase, so if you need me to reword it I can try. I would post a sample, but you can hear this in pretty much any benny benassi song, like satisfaction.

you talkn' bout a 'wobble' type effect?

you can do it with an LFO controlling the pitch...what synth you usin?

I'm a Reason monkey so I'm working with their synths... Thor and Maelstrom and Subtractor.

i will make something for you, reason is great for this but any other synth will do.

basically once you have your desired sound route mod lfo to pitch set the amount you want, do not use a large amount range as it will cover to many octaves. so you really only want to cover 1 to 2 octaves, so this value in reason for the amount control would be 12 or 24 out of a possiable 127 the lfo will only affect that range of pitch.

legato / note slide anyone?

Isn't that way easier, you can enter the exact notes you want and only have to automate the slide time.

hehe yeah totally forgot about potamento, ah well i guess thats what he is reffering to, anyway here is an example
cheers

glide.

uh, well it sounds like everyone has their own favorite way.

this reason project file is a tad complicated, but I think I get the basic idea of modulating the oscillator pitch. thanks for responses.

Why do not use pitch wheel?
Portamento is a fixed tool and I dunno that it will sounds good for the bass all the time..

Here I use the primitive pitch bend wheel/joystick with adjusted parameters/semitones..

That depends on the instrument used . A lot of VST's support glide time/portamento time, which defines how long it takes to slide to the other note. Really easy.
