Please Help Me!

At 00:15.5 in this video, this instrument kicks in. It sounds like an instrument that's used in alot of underground, WestCoast music. I am trying to remake this beat. Someone please tell me how to remake that certain instrument for Fruity Loops 5. I've tried using a 3xOsc, but I just can't get it.

Thanks for any help.

have u tried gettin sum bass n switchin up the pitch and playin with that? im not sure whether its an instrument or sum1's just tweaked a sound

it sounds like a wah wah effect on a guitar or bass that is played in that clip. to recreate a wah wah sound you have to get into the LFO and tweek with the VCF. different programs and companies call their Low Frequeincy Oscillators by another name that is usually similar but dont be fooled, it is all the same thing.

Thanks for tha help. I went into Channel Presets, TS404, then I clicked on Subwoofer. I found tha LFO on it, but I didn't see anything that said VCF. I played around with it, but didn't have any luck. I tried a BooBass too, but I didn't see any LFO and didn't have luck with that either.

Could you guys try and find an instrument on FL, if you have it, and see what you have to do to make that sound. It's asking alot, but I will go crazy if this beat doesn't have something that sounds close to it.

I tried remaking this beat before. I didn't have that sound then either, so I had to use a friggin Brass.

vcf/vca/ and vco's can be named other things too just depending on the company that makes it. i think when i use the roland fantom it is called a different name but its all the same, i wouldnt know about your program though ive never used it before.

i dont know if you will be able to recreated that sound with out a keyboard that has a pitch bend control on the keyboards surface, to me thats it sounds like, someone was controlling the pitch of the sound in real time

plus that specific sound might be going through 3 different processors or modules

Alright, thanks for all tha help. I'll try asking Warpath, see what he says. Beside that instrument, everything else in my remake is soundin pretty good .

the instrument is simply a sine with pitch wheel action taking place.
most synth bass is based on the sine wave, so harris was right about taking bass and pitching it up. you can probably create the wah-wah effect with LFOs and such, but if you have a keyboard, use the wheel. or you can apply filters AND use pitch control, like the maker of the beat in the video does (it's not a flat sine, and some of the jumps do not sound like he was going key to key, but rather pitch wheeling)

doesn't neccesarily have to be pitch wheeling. if you record going key to key and make sure each key overlap one another, and set a high portamento, you should get a slow gliding effect.
