life is worthwhile. Who knows. Next, bring the filter down to half, turn the env to full and hit the "inv" button -- this inverts the filter envelope so you get it doing everything backwards, quite a quirky little feature but quite useful here. Turn everything on the filter env to 0 except decay, which is at 350ms. This means the filter opens up each time the note starts. So now we've got a sweet sound at the start of each note making it kinda suck in after each kick. Like an over enthusiastic karate student with cystic fibrosis. To really emphasise this though, we're going to turn the LFO 1 to waveform 3, this ramp wave, on tempo sync . Now, route it to the filter 1 frequency by 100 and also the amp gain. This makes that filter open up even more over time so it's brighter, and also makes the bass cut out entirely at the start of every kick. This is another way of getting that pumping, side-chain kind of effect so it doesn't clash with the kick -- remember I said I had some plans for making the heavy kick fit with the heavy bass? This is one of those. Next up, let's get a splitter on the go for some parallel processing goodness. Route one version of the bass to the mixer and the other into an ECF filter on band pass mode. Freq at 72 and -- importantly -- res to full. To
