Techno music is widely known for its driving beats and hypnotic sounds, with the bassline being a crucial element of the genre. In this article, we'll take you through the process of creating a techno-inspired pad bass with a stutter effect using Diva and A1 Trigger plugins.
To start, we set up Diva as a plugin in our DAW and programmed a long pad bass with interval jumps. Using Diva's oscillator, filter, and modifications, we adjusted the settings to achieve the desired sound, adding osc 1 and detuned osc 2 to enhance the complexity of the sound.
Next, we created a stutter effect using A1 Trigger, selecting the trance gate preset and modifying the ADSR release and steps to create different rhythmic patterns. We also utilized the LFO to add movement to the sound, modulating various parameters such as filter cutoff, FM, and resonance.
By following these steps, you can create your unique techno-inspired pad bass with a stutter effect that adds depth and drive to your tracks. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced producer, this technique is a great way to bring more character and complexity to your music.

To follow up on our last video analog techno bass in Massive X we are going to be building a kick drum to support that bass. We will be looking at using self-oscillation using the filter rather than using a traditional oscillator. By following this video you will be able to create all manner kick to beef up your techno productions.
In today's sound design journey we are going to look at creating a analog techno bass in Massive X. The sound has been influenced by the classic synths like the Moog Minimoog, Roland sh101 and the Jupiter 8
This bass sound is perfect for anyone wants to learn Melodic Techno, Deep Tech, Rolling Techno and darker tech-house.
What you will learn in this techno music production tutorial is:

Today what we are going to be looking at is creating a 808 style hi hat, after you have followed this tutorial you will have all the custom 808 style open and closed hi hats you desire. Lets get started.
Thou wavetable has a category section called noise with some great wavetables they don't have the traditional noise sound we need to make, thou there is a trick to turn these into a hi hat.
Native Instruments Massive is truly a great synth and even with the eagerly anticipated release of Massive X, you should not forgot all the truly huge sounds you can make with the predecessor.

For Mind Flux’s newest blog series we have decided to open it up to the floor and ask our followers and friends what they would like to learn. And one request really stood out.
This request was to show how you could go about recreating Pat Thomas & Ebo Taylor - Ene Nyame Nam 'A' Mensuro (Henrick Schwartz Blend Mix).

In our last adventures into drum synthesis we looked at using synths to make our drum sound but you can also explore samplers to do the same. All you need is the raw material to get started. So for this kick we are just going to use a sine wave and Ableton’s Sampler.

Next up in our synth series, we are going to look at creating some R2D2 style bleeps and bloops and turning them into some techno percussion loops.

So far we have looked at synthesising kicks and snares now in the latest blog post in this drum synthesis series we are going to look at creating a clap with operator.

For old analog synth users a happy accident occurred when increasing the resonance to the max. The cool and crazy result of this left a lot of synth lovers angry and confused, but the adventurous among us saw it as an opportunity to experiment and create weird and wonderful sounds!
In this ‘Drum Synthesis’ series blog post we are going to use this “mistake” to build a kick drum, without even using an oscillator or sample.
In this new vlog series we are going to adventure in to the world of sound design. Each month or so we will look to build a new sound using an multitude of soft synths.
To kick off of the adventure we are using one of the Mind Flux nerds favourite synth Serum from Xfer. We will use Serum to build an evolving dub techno chord which will help add movement and interest through out your productions.
