Could somebody please help me

[Blackbullet]

I have spent all day sitting down with my microkorg, the sound editor and the manual and i still have no idea what i'm doing wrong. I simply want to create a generic DnB sounding lead, but despite drilling into my brain what all the terms mean and what everything does, i either end up with something that sounds like an engine failing or a patch that sounds like every other unison patch. Does anyone have any advice?

Dubstep, techno and drum and bass engineers will at some point need a tearing Reece bass for there new dance floor anthem. The Reece bass is a classic 'dirty bass' patch. From the more deep terrorist Reece to the hardcore alien girl Reece they all have one thing in common. The saw tooth wave.

So to start off with, get a multi oscillator synth (ideally 3 or 4 oscillators) for example the native massive, ES2 by Logic or reasons maelstrom. Set all oscillators to the saw tooth. There are many harmonic frequencies in the saw tooth, The normal waves ramps upward and then falls. There are also sawtooth waves where the wave ramps down and then rises sharply. Commonly known as a reverse sawtooth. As audio signals, the two orientations of sawtooth wave sound identical until paired together

Once you have got your multi oscillator synth running with 3 oscillators, the next step in the process is to detune one or 2 of the oscillators by around +/- 25cents, this is essential for drum and bass and dubstep. It gives the Reece a very deep edgy sound, rather than just a buzzy electro kind of sound.

copied from the net. Doesn't get simpler than that.

Create a layered patch, set all the oscillators to saw, detune some of them and tweak the filter EG to your liking.

this guy has really good tutorials, including a dnb one

instead of multi-oscillators you'll have to find a way to make it using unison, waveshaping/suboscs, and the chorus effect
