The bassdrum is just an impulse exciting a lowpass filter at very high resonance. The clicking noise is generated by a specialized envelope that raises the pitch of the filter for the first few ms. The whole thing is then slightly overdriven to color the sound.
Filtering a sine wave makes little sense, as you'll only end up altering the volume (unless you take the phase respone of the filter into account but this should be barely audible).
- wazoox 15y agoThat reminds me of the phase change synthesis of the Casio CZ :) I'm wondering if there's something (software or else) still able to do it?
- akx 15y agoXoxos has a couple phase distortion synthesis VSTs. http://www.xoxos.net/vst/vst.html http://www.xoxos.net/vst/vst.html If you lack a VST plugin host, http://www.hermannseib.com/english/vsthost.htm http://www.hermannseib.com/english/vsthost.htm is very bare-bones but does the trick for doodling away and http://reaper.fm/ http://reaper.fm/ by Justin Frankel (of Winamp fame) et al. is a more full-featured DAW that supports VSTs.
