Township Rebellion - Several Definitions The Escape (Remix) | Bass Synth Patch Remake

Remaking the bass synth from the 2017 song "Several Definitions The Escape (Remix)" by Township Rebellion can be an exciting challenge for any synthesizer enthusiast. Here’s how you can create the "Several Definitions The Escape (Remix)" 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 big low bass/pad that closes Township Rebellion’s remix of “The Escape” appears in the final seconds as a single sustained low note. It is built from two layered unison saw synths: a bright centered saw with a descending filter cutoff and a wide saw that fades in. The centered layer provides attack and movement; the wide layer adds stereo width and a slow swell. Together they form a deep, subtonal pad that anchors the track’s ending.

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 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.
