Remaking the bass synth from the 2018 song "Got Next" by Twatwave can be an exciting challenge for any synthesizer enthusiast. Here’s how you can create the "Got Next" 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
That metallic plucky bass synth opens “Got Next” by Twatwave and plays the lead pattern in the very first bars. It features a bright, metallic timbre with a sharp attack and short decay, producing a percussive, bell-like pluck. The part sits up front in the mix and establishes the track’s rhythmic hook.

This audio clip is how close we've matched the original tone of the bass synth from the song "Got Next" by Twatwave, 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 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.
