808 Sub Bass
5 min · Mono · Patch cable required
One oscillator, a triangle wave, and the pitch slide that makes it read as an 808.
The trick most people miss is routing the filter envelope to the oscillator pitch — the same shape that opens the filter also drops the pitch, which is what gives the classic 808 its punch. The second half covers the feedback patch: running the headphone out back into the external input to overdrive the synth with itself, producing a heavier, different kind of saturation than the distortion module.

Tip: Leave the tone knob alone on sub bass. It adds high frequencies at the cost of the low end — exactly the wrong trade for this patch.
