So I love the synth bassline on this, any ideas? I keep thinking it's 303 or something, but I'd love some pointers.... :

Dont think it's 303 tbh.

Analog, 2 OSC, one sine and one triangle would be a start.

Yeah, I've been trying the one sine/one triangle this afternoon... just not getting it. :(
Any particular starter points in say, Sylenth, Trilian, Ableton..?

You should be able to get something pretty close in any synth to be honest.

I'd use Analog, only cause that's what I feel most comfortable in.

I loaded up my fm app and came close. I'm sure you could substitute what I did by using detuned (or unison) squares with a very light amount of LP filtering.

I used one sine OSC operator as default and a modulator OSC (also sine) set to 2nd overtone with feedback cranked up. Then I just automated the envelope on it. And I got a modulated sort of dirty filters square sound.

Then I raised or lowered the level of the feedback modulator. Made sure I had some kind of unison or chorus. And add a form of saturation/distortion.

But. I didn't put a lot of thought into making it sound identical. Just a rough approximation

Waah, could I be annoying and get a screenshot?
