On a recent Andrew Huang video, Rachel K Collier used a preset from her PolyBrute called "No Computer." It was a wild, fat bass sound, around which she based her entire track. I loved the sound so much I thought I would recreate it - but which synth would best do it justice?

I decided to try creating this sound on several different synthesizers. I demonstrate how I deconstructed the sound initially, then how I created that same sort of sound on each of these synths.

0:00 Intro
2:40 Sound Deconstruction
3:43 Novation Summit
7:05 ASM Hydrasynth
13:05 Modal Cobalt8
19:21 Roland System-8
25:26 Yamaha Montage
29:37 Roland GAIA
33:43 Summary

Here's the original Andrew Huang video which contains the RKC breakdown where she demonstrates the original sound:
