Hi,
I have been trying to figure out how AT does his bass in this track...

The bass is just killer...
Any pointers will be appreciated.
Thanks !

Rhythmically, the "bass" notes are not on the beat, but are late or after the beat or have a considerably long attack.

yeah, i was wondering about the processing and modulation...
Re: Amon Tobin Fools Rhythm
Heavy squares and saws synth with lot of comb filtering, quite long portamento time, huge sidechain compression from the kick... And an insane amount of Amon Tobin mojo.

Re: Amon Tobin Fools Rhythm
Sounds to me a like a lot of stacked detuned oscillators, a 1 oct pitch envelope on the note start, a triggered downward sawtooth LFO on the volume which has it's speed and waveshape changed later on to a slower sine. Then obviously there's a massive sidechain from the kick with a slow release to give that fade-in effect. but that's emphasised by a slow attack on the sound itself
