    Hi guys,

    Been trying to find make this type of bass sound for a while, but so far I don't really succeed to get close. Can't find a similar preset too.
    My main synths are Sylenth and Massive. Any help would be very much appreciated! Thanks in advance.

    I'm talking about the bass that starts at 0:16

    Thank you for you're helpfull reply! :dunno:
    I think I'm actually the opposite of lazy. I'm trying to recreate this sound, while being pretty new to synthesis.
    I have scrolled through a lot of presets (yes I have thousands too) to see how they were made, but I couldn't really find one similar to this sound.
    So I was just looking for tips on which waveforms (triangle in this case I believe), filters, evelope-settings, etc. to use, to get me in the right direction..

    Saw wave. Stack a few of them and detune/unison them. Add a lowpass filter envelope - adjust filter cutoff decay to taste, aswell as cutoff range to taste.
    Add a few stacked square waves, but not as loud.
    You can also add another (single) sine osc if you want more meat/bass.

    Here is a very quick Sylenth1 example (took me about 30 seconds):
