'FAT BASS' - Bigger Sound for Synth Bass Lines using the Wave Swarm & Ring SM Eurorack modules
Some fat synth bass line sounds using a variation of 2 VCO, Ladder Filter, Wave Swarm for a thick sawtooth pad, and Ring SM for sub basses. Either or both of these 2 modules add a lot of scope to the sound of even a single VCO, even more so with two. Patch notes at the bottom.
The Wave Swarm uses it's 12 waveform animators to create thick, buzzing supersaw style sounds, from either a single saw wave, or from two independent saws, even as part of two completely separate monophonic synth voices, even a two-voice polyphonic patch. Check the links below for User Guide and some patches.
The Ring SM has both a vintage-voiced, fully analogue ring modulator, modelled on the ring mod from the EMS Synthi and VCS3, but it is also a 5-channel Moog CP3 style mixer, capable of soft clipping overdrive/distortion, and most importantly for bass patches - a sub bass/sub-octave generator, needing only a single VCO to generate both -1 and -2 sub octaves simultaneously. All functions can be used together, or on their own. The sub basses are shaped sine waves, which sound thicker and deeper than plain square waves, which are most commonly used by synths as sub basses.
The AJH SYNTH Eurorack range consists of high-end modules, all hand-made in the UK, most of which are based on classic, vintage designs, authentically recreating the circuitry of much sought-after analogue instruments and technologies of the past, whilst greatly expanding them, and bringing them to modern Eurorack levels of convenience, limitless flexibility, and reliability.
Check out the AJH Synth playlists for module 'User Guides', and 'Patch of The Week' videos, which will be either performances or 'how to' guides, detailing functions/methods, and a range of sounds, some familiar, some less so, containing a patch sheet at the end to show you how to construct it for yourself.

------------------------------------------------------------
Green dots show approximate pot and switch positions. With the exception of Wave Swarm, pots and switches that do not have green dots are not used in this patch, and should be left at their zero or off positions.
In the video I'm using the Glide + Noise MkII module to access the CV Bus, allowing me to control all 3 VCOs from one input/cable. If you are not able to use the CV Bus you will need to use a multiple or stacking cables to connect the keyboard to each VCO's 1V/Oct input, as is usual with a fully modular synth.
WAVE SWARM: Experimenting is advised whilst listening to the output of the module in isolation, but a good starting point is to set the input levels at about 4, with the various animators between 2 and 3, then raise them further if a more aggressive sound is required.
RING SM: X IN only uses the triangle from the second VCO to generate sub basses, so IN 2 and it's level pot are free to use for the white noise from the Glide + Noise module. Inputs 4 & 5 are kept free, or else they will cancel out the Sub-1 & Sub-2, which use the corresponding pots to control their level.
LFO: Just a simple triangle LFO is needed here for the PWM, so just use whatever you have.
Modules used from top-left to bottom-right: Glide + Noise, Vintage Transistor Core VCO x2, Transistor Ladder Filter, Contour Generators, Discrete Cascaded VCA, Wave Swarm, Ring SM, Tap Tempo VC-LFO.
