How to make that hip hop sub bass?

I'm looking to add some sub bass lines to a song. Just basically low tones held out like a 4 chord progression. How do people typically add these. I'm using Nuendo and i have some vsti synths, but i couldn't find any like what i was looking from them. Are there specific bass vsti that'll produce something like that. I would like to record it via mia because then i could play it on the keyboard and have an idea of what i'm doing.

any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Brandon

Do you have any minimoog plugins. The classic subby sound is from a minimoog or a se1-X. Creamware made a great minimoog but it requires one of their cards.

There is a new moog vsti plugin that is very goog but i cant remember the name

Also by cutting/low passing the top end off some other synths could leave a subby sound for a quick result

Or use a simple Sine wave :-)

I can make a sine wave in wavelab, but how do i go about getting the different tones that would correspond to a keyboard. Use a sampler?

Thanks,
Brandon

use the kick to trigger a sinewave that has a gate on it.

Neil Case ( Bass Mechanic ) has used that trick for years.

This ensures the tone is in the same key as your kick and the rest of the song.

If you happen to have one or know someone who has one, sample the sine wave from any of the AKAI S series.
