how are those made..... they kinda sounds like reverse kicks but its something else.... much cleaner and less abrasive.
used alot in electro... i have samples of them but i want to make my own...
also i found a preset on korg-wavestation? (not sure will have to recheck when i get home) but i honestly do not understand that synth so its not a good one to use since i cant really play with them....
anyway---
zapping anyone?

The classic way of doing it is with a self-oscillating filter (resonance set to max) with an appropriate envelope on the cutoff frequency, although with most VSTis you'll get better results with a sine-wave oscillator. You can use any other waveform, too, for slightly different sounds.

So it takes 7 guiys and a girl to make that zap sound? No wonder it is so hard.

Also Minimoog V by Arturia - one of the few VA synths that doesn't need any sound from the oscillators to make the filter self-oscillate with the resonance ('Emphasis') cranked right up.
