# Creating a Reese synth bass The [original Reese bass](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6m4T0aqJNxo) was performed on a Casio CZ-1000 using [[Phase distortion]] synthesis.[^1] Kevin Saunderson, who created the Reese bass sound, says, "The Reese bass is dark, it's deep. It gets into your soul. … I created it on a Casio CZ-1000."[^2] Using a synth like [[Vital]], you use the wavetable editor to remove the fundamental from a [[Sawtooth wave]] and replace it with a sine sub, that way the fundamental isn't phasing. For a final touch [[Modulate filter cutoff with noise]].[^3] [^1]: [Kevin Saunderson - Wikipedia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Saunderson) [^2]: [Kevin Saunderson is the past, present and future of techno](https://musictech.com/features/interviews/kevin-saunderson-interview-past-present-future-techno/) [^3]: [Why PROs Reese Bass Sounds SO GOOD? - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/XsMn5Jo0wJY)
