A Step-by-Step Guide for Designing Sub Bass, Chords and FX

Craft sub bass, chords and glitchy FX by layering multiple instances of the Meld synthesizer – this easy-to-follow video tutorial shows you how. Create lush chords with the Swarm oscillators and Stack control, anchor them in a focused harmony using the Sub oscillator, and generate jittery FX to round it all off with the device’s 8-bit-inspired Chip oscillator.
