jetson - No Name | Bass Synth Patch Remake

Remaking the bass synth from the 2019 song "No Name" by jetson can be an exciting challenge for any synthesizer enthusiast. Here’s how you can create the "No Name" 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

Simple bass patch at 0:05. Two square waves one octave part, very round lowpass filter, with filter envelope decay used to create the attack transient.

Our Remake of The Bass Synth sound

This audio clip is how close we've matched the original tone of the bass synth from the song "No Name" by jetson, giving you a reference point as you design your own synthesizer preset. Play it as often as you need to familiarize yourself with the nuances of the sound.

Synth Patch Programming Recipe

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 allx 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.
