    I NEEEEEED to know the midi pattern for that bassline in the beginning, repeating, until it changes to a full messed-up-of-notes BASSLINE. But the first pattern, I NEEEEED to know. It's stupid, but I want to know how he made this banger so simply perfectly sounding as a 303 bassline.
    Track is super simple, yet, so well articulated. That's the point of this track. Acid, simple. Techno, simple and horny as F**K.
    Thank you.

    i bet you could trial-and-error this with a 303 plugin pretty easily. have you fired up Phoscyon and given it a shot?

    There are like 2 main higher notes and 2 lower notes as counter melody on 8 bar loop with 127 BPM and probably 25% Shuffle. Doesn't sound so much 303 Acid to me. More like just regular bassline with little resonance, little accent on 2 higher notes and short decay with little Distortion. You can do it in Sylenth or even Synth1 I think. But if you have Phoscyon 2 it will be fun.

    i think its two parts if you program on 303 or a clone.

    the one pattern the songs with and the other come in around the half of the track with a few higher octaved notes in.

    lots of accents used? i dont really hear any slides?
    Also not really any distortion ...

    It's 2 bar loop for 5 minutes. Just chop it and use Melodyne or NeuralNote or even better a built-in audio to midi, with such "complexity" it won't be hard to figure out EXAAAAACT notes.
