i think... I THINK! he used a synth, and a MIDI keyboard.. or maybe he just drew the notes with the pencil...

I can't understand how he made the sound of his bass, it's amazing.
Someone can help me?

to me it sounds like a simple bass pattern altered with some fast repeating lfo pattern delayed and quite possibly complicated a bit further with some kinda arpeggiator.

so thats one way, the other way is that hes using pitched down drum elements and using some low pass and complicating that further with a simple bass tone from some synth

Again, it might help looking at the waveforms

Other than that i think:

"so thats one way, the other way is that hes using pitched down drum elements and using some low pass and complicating that further with a simple bass tone from some synth" might be on the money

the thing I'M not getting lately is, how people come to think of posting such stupid sh!t on forums REPEATEDLY!
AND why Umek started to produce this absolute sh!t-lark techno in the first place, he used to be like real techno-god

just gets on my tits really - flame me or whatever i don't care.
