I tried my best to do a slap bass using PWM on one of the pulse channels in this cover I did of Phantom Pt II by Justice (comes in around 1:12)
Pretty sure I just used a table to switch from 50% to 12.5% for one row, then back to 50%. I think I also did a quick L -> R -> L+R pan as well just to make it pop out of the mix a bit more.

Now this is really funky. Looks like I have a Gameboy track that I actually like now.

this slap bass track is the best chip thing i've heard for ages oO

Nice, dude! I like the use of the R command. It definitely makes the 'slap' aspect of the bass more apparent. Glad to see this tutorial still has some traction lmao

I know I'm a little late to this thread, but this slap sound is perfect. Thanks for sharing! I'm using it in this work in progress (starting around 2:15).

Only tweak I made was a transpose value of 07 in the table to make it a perfect 5th. I also found that using an occasional R01 command gives you that rapid slap/pop sound bass players sometimes use.

Here's a vid of just the slap bass section:

Wow, this sounds really good, i gotta say. Impressive.

You got the slap, what about the pop?

I can't stop listening to this slap bass track. MOAR NAOW

As someone that's got a few years of jazz bass under their belt, I'd advise you actually have a few instruments and tables with slightly different tables. Include some rad slow pitch bends and some dynamics (E00 to E03) as well as livening the arrangement up with the fills, and your track will definitely get some extra groove to it. Not to mention, arpeggiated runs would be icing on the cake. Of course, that's the way I would do it.

EDIT: This is a track I wrote with a simple Saw wave bass, but the pitch bends and other stuff lend itself well to the bass style. https://soundcloud.com/lockheedmartian/pon-pon-won

That's so sick. I'm going to have to actually play with that when I get home.

I know it's not exactly the same thing, but I've got a rough attempt at mixing the WAV Chann and real slap bass, just for the funz.

EDIT: Just heard the cover and I loved it!

The first wave is a spooky ghost

I tried looking at the waveform of a single slap hit with audacity, but the results were mixed. I have a feeling the wavetable would be pretty interesting if someone took look at it with a real scope.

BTW: finished the cover because I wanted to play it at a show yesterday. The Roboctopus wav was also added and should stick out pretty well.

that sounds so awesome, definitely going to test this out for my glitch hop stuff
