It's the sound he's after. You'll learn +- 20 new tricks each time you try to replicate a sound. And perhaps discover a way to make it better

That bassline is mr oizo's style rite?
If u hear that bass, the first thing that will come into your mind, is oizo.

So its his style.

nah, the first thing that came to my mind when i heard oizo was an ms-20. songwriting talent makes the style more than the instrument. learning how to imitate a bass sound is much like learning a led zeppelin song on guitar. it doesn't make you a jimmy page ripoff just a better guitarist.

Sorry, but playing a guitar is something else than copying a sound.
This world needs some inovation, no non personal copycated shit.
There is too much of it.
Music has become drawing lines with the help of numbers these days, and call it your artistic painting.

imo

I hate that mr. Oizo guy - he's copied [insert name of every guy who's ever used a sampler and an ms-20]!


Actually there are some similarities between that benny benassi guy and Oizo. Yet you wouldn't call benny a copycat, would you? And just think of how many people got into synth programming because of guys like Jarre et al., they probably cloned Jarre sounds till their ears bled (that only takes a few minutes, btw) but they got some serious chops from it.

I read an article on mr.oizo where he explains how he used the ms 20 which had no midi control or sequencer connectivity.. In order to get the bassline he had to roll playback and manually turn the rate knob on the filter to go from slow to fast over and over till he was happy with the result... old school as hell but it worked...

For me its like listenign to a record witch someone elses soul, and that makes it complete souless.

Iam not trying to copy iam trying to learn and then i can find my own sound iam not aiming for his bass exactly but something of that nature (i used to make a bass sound that i used alot on fruity loops using the TR303 i got a kind of warble sound buy detuning one of the oscolators slightly and puting distortion on it)

I would like to create this or recreate this sound on Operator i like to generate my own sounds or wapr and mess with others

Its like saying why listen to music youll just sound like the music you play.

-just drop this in library/presets/simpler

Hello I just downloaded it but there was no square wave aif file

If it comes with ableton i couldnt find it or is it just a square wave tone?

just use any of the square waves that came with live. I think the one I used was waveforms->spectral->analog square.aif
EDIT: of course that would be analog SAW.aif...

there is a preset in one of the expansion banks of refx vangaurd called mr oizo and its pretty close in my opinion

The kind of person who posts this is usually very very dull and very very elitist. Oddly enough they are also usually quite unexceptional and lack much in the way of acheivement.

Leave your ego at the door lola and let yourself join in the fun of discussing the mysteries of audio and even subtractive synthesis.

Synths are addictive
