Hi all, I am currently trying to figure out how to make stabs (not reeses, I canalready do those) like in noisia - reptilians and dead limit, as well as in mefjus - suicide bassline and other songs of this type, you get my point. (Using presets isn't an option - I want to make my own sounds)
I already have and love serum, but im looking for a vst that can go a little deeper into the wprld of neuro and dnb sound design. I use FL studio meaning I already have access to sytrus. I know that sytrus is very good for this type of thing, but I am very bad at FM synthesis and don't understand how you can "predict" what doing different things in an FM synth is going to sound like, if that makes sense. Is there a good place where you can learn how to make these types of sounds for sytrus?
If not, what synth would be the best investment? Do I get an additive synth like harmor? A semi-modular one like synthmaster? (I am experienced in sound design of other sorts but fully new to making sounds for bass music). Is phaseplant an option? I know it can do more complex stuff than serum, but I don't know if it's good for this type of thing. If you know of anything else, please let me know.
(I know this is written very messily, but I had a lot of questions to jam into one post. Sorry!)

Sounds like these? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRwu5ifq5UY

If that's the case, give a look at Corona or Discovery Pro and try some bass presets. Some may fit with what you're looking for.

Wow, thanks for all the helpful replies everyone! To the person who said list of all wavetable synths, I already have serum but there are some things I just can't seem to figure out in it that I see people do in other synths. Is there a way to make stabs like in noisia's reptilians in serum? I can't seem to figure it out...

That's great. Hope they are helpful. Actually searching for the tutorials reminded me, that I should try them myself, since I want to dip deeper into the sounddesign of (neuro)things.

So thank you, too for asking the questions.

Harmor, SkannerXt, Cyclop.

Rapid is your perfect synth for this, easier than serum to get it to sound finished by using the extra layers
