The No-Holds-Barred Guide to the Baddest Bass Synth in the Universe. Lazerbass Boot Camp brings together 5 modules of highly concentrated Lazerbass knowledge:
Intro and Overview builds the strong foundation you need to develop your Lazerbass chops as quickly as possible (and bypass the frustration of turning knobs in hopes of somehow figuring things out).
Sound Creation gives you the straight dope on how Lazerbass fuses typical oscillator waveforms with totally out-of-the-box parameters to create mind-bending sounds.
Filters & Modulation: Lazerbass really comes to life when we start shaping the raw sound with Brightness, Periodic, Phase Shift, and Pinch parameters, and season liberally with modulation—courtesy of the Mod Envelope and Mod LFO. Wobbles will never be the same.
Global Controls: This section has more than a few tricks up its sleeve—including a wicked Master Release Envelope that changes typical bass sounds into a one-two punch of low-end devastation.
MIDI and DAW Techniques clears away the fog on mapping Lazerbass’s parameters to your MIDI controller, and recording and automating parameter changes in your DAW. (This is extremely useful.)
But Lazerbass Boot Camp doesn’t stop there. I’ve also packed in three bonuses that will get you inspired to put Lazerbass to work in your productions.
Bonus #1: Lazerbass + REAKTOR
You know that REAKTOR is one of the most—if not the most—powerful music production platforms ever created.
Lazerbass + REAKTOR is all about unleashing the power of REAKTOR’s modular architecture to create your own ensembles… sequencers, effects, and just about anything else you can dream up (the sequencer setups alone are worth the price of admission) [21 min].
Bonus #2: Lazerbass Applied
I know what you’re thinking: “But isn’t Lazerbass just a dubstep synth?”
Absolutely not.
Lazerbass is one of the most remarkable instruments ever produced for the REAKTOR platform—or any other, for that matter. If you think it’s just a dubstep synth, you’re missing out on the chance to add a seriously high-level instrument to your production arsenal.
After watching Lazerbass Applied, your mind will be racing with possibilities for real-world production applications. Look over my shoulder as I put Lazerbass to work in house, downtempo, and glitch examples. Oh yeah, dubstep, too [31 min].
Bonus #3: The Cheat Sheet

Everyone learns differently, and sometimes it’s best just to have a companion guide to take with you on your adventures in sound. I’ve put together the Lazerbass Boot Camp Cheat Sheet for you to keep at arm’s length while you get to know this additive beast. It’s a detailed map of all the crucial parameters that you’ll reach for again and again.
