Brooklyn Bounce - Bass, Beats & Melody | Bass Synth Patch Remake

Remaking the bass synth from the 2000 song "Bass, Beats & Melody" by Brooklyn Bounce can be an exciting challenge for any synthesizer enthusiast. Here’s how you can create the "Bass, Beats & Melody" bass patch and play this iconic sound on most hardware or software subtractive synthesizers (Serum, Vital, Pigments, Prophet, Korg, Moog, etc). We've included the preset download directly for your convenience, but we strongly recommend you use our programming tutorial to recreate it yourself.

Original Audio

The bass synthesizer in Brooklyn Bounce’s “Bass, Beats & Melody” delivers a heavy, aggressive low-end that anchors the track’s hardstyle energy. Starting at 0:20, this sound features distortion and a low-pass filter to emphasize its driving and a little gritty character. The bassline’s staccato rhythm and sub-bass frequencies create a punchy, dancefloor-ready foundation, typical of early 2000s electronic dance music. Its overdriven texture gives it a raw, mechanical edge, aligning with the track’s industrial-tinged techno influences.

Getting Started

• Start by initializing your synthesizer to a plain saw with no filter, modulation or effects. For soft synths use the "init"/"default" preset or the the button to reset all parameters to their default factory values.
• No two synths are exactly alike, so treat the values below as approximate, and use your ear.
• Percentage values (e.g. 50%) represent the relative position of a knob or slider within its full range. The full range of each parameter may differ from synth to synth, so use your ear.

Note: the patch settings may slightly differ in the Syntorial challenge.
