"New" kind of basses, pseudo metallic-percussive bass

Hello, ive been since my last post requesting a sound desing course learning by my own from tutorials, more tutorials, and more tutorials, screeches, growls, reeses, fm with Serum. But my surprise comes when I heard Red Lips Skrillex remix. Holy shit fuck u Sonny, ive been spending hours learning about borgore’s synths, zomboy, skrillex “typical” basses but u come now with that shit sound.

I mean this:


(1:25)

With one note he delivers 5-6 ““sounds”” with the same patch, I hear some typical fm like SeamlessR achieved in his attempt (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RyLseTJHTg) but is not even close to the “realness” of the bass. It has a lot of percussive/metallic shit at the beggining.

In the song, at 2:30 we can hear those sounds better (but dont know if they are from the same bass), with some extra octaves, rhytms, they seem more “typical” but in 2:53 the original stuff comes again, with that kind of “jurassic park/alien” sound.
Any of u tried of achieve this?

Given it’s him, I’m guessing some sort of FM bass, but maybe treated with something spectral on the high end? Usually when it sounds “metallic”, a sound is put through some FFT shit at some point. It could be a resonator too. It doesnt sound like any sort of comb filter, karplus-strong, or granulation - but used subtly it could have been processed with any of those too.

Not really up on the popular dubstep shit these days but it sounds interesting.
