如何制作 Future Bass：和弦、Drop 和人声切片详解

常见问题

What BPM is future bass?

Future bass typically runs at 140–160 BPM, though the half-time drum feel (snare on beat 3) makes it groove at roughly half that perceived pace.^{<a href="https://houseoftracks.com/faq/how-many-bpm-is-future-bass" target="_blank" rel="noopener">[2]</a>} 150 BPM is a common starting point.

What synth is used in future bass?

Any synth capable of unison detuning works — Serum and Vital are the most common. The key is stacking 7–16 detuned sawtooth voices and modulating a low-pass filter with an LFO to achieve the genre's characteristic chord movement.

How do you make the future bass "wub" chord sound?

Route an LFO to the low-pass filter cutoff on a supersaw patch, sync the LFO to your project tempo (1/4 note rate is classic), and set the cutoff sweep range from a dark low setting up to a bright midrange. The rhythmic opening and closing of the filter creates the vowel-like "wub" swell.^{<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Future_bass" target="_blank" rel="noopener">[1]</a>}

What chord progressions does future bass use?

Extended chords — maj7, min7, add9, sus2 — over 4-bar loops. Common progressions: Imaj7–Vmaj7–VIm7–IVmaj7 (the "feels" loop) and IVmaj7–Vmaj7–IIIm7–VIm7 (the "anime" loop). Modal interchange (borrowing a minor iv into a major key) adds harmonic depth.^{<a href="https://unison.audio/future-bass-chord-progressions/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">[5]</a>}

Who invented future bass?

The genre was pioneered by Scottish producers Rustie and Hudson Mohawke, with Rustie's <em>Glass Swords</em> (2011) widely credited as an early defining release. Flume's 2013 remix of Disclosure's "You & Me" brought future bass to mainstream audiences.^{<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Future_bass" target="_blank" rel="noopener">[1]</a>}

How do you make vocal chops in future bass?

Write your melody on a synth first, then pitch-correct a vocal sample to your track's key, load it into a sampler, and copy the melody MIDI onto the sampler track. Route some syllables to a wet reverb/delay return for the floating, spacious texture typical of the genre.^{<a href="https://www.edmprod.com/how-to-make-future-bass/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">[7]</a>}

What is the arrangement structure of a future bass track?

A standard structure is: Intro → Verse → Build → Drop → Verse → Build → Drop → Bridge/Outro. The build typically strips back the low end and drops the kick for the final bars before the drop to maximise impact. Introduce new elements every 4–8 bars within the drop to maintain momentum.^{<a href="https://www.edmprod.com/how-to-make-future-bass/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">[7]</a>}
