5 Tech House Bass Patterns That Every Producer Must Know

Link velocity to the filter cutoff so harder hits open the filter, adding dynamic accents and groove variations without changing the rhythm.

Add a few extra notes, like an octave higher on the first beat or notes between offbeats, to introduce harmonics and change the vibe.

Use a completely filled 1/8 note bass pattern sidechained to the kick for a more driving, glued-together groove that takes up more mix space.

Enable mono legato with portamento, lay down a simple foundation, then add octave jumps and glides for a distinctive, groovy sound.

Use a deep sustained bass on the first hit and create a rhythmic pattern that interacts with it, automating the filter for movement and leaving room for other elements.
