i'm guessing that it can be done both ways....by automating and by using a second synth patch/channel, layer sort of thing...
afterall all the patches come out of that same synth...so u can actually morph from one patch to the other by automating various parameters...for example I can change from a saw to a square at the fourth beat of the bar..and for the first 3 beats, have it on a saw...similarly i could automate pitch or any other parameter...so i could be on an entirely different sounding patch on only the fourth beat of that bar.....or I could play 3 beats with one instance/part of the synth and the 4th beat with another part or channel of the virus...
its just different ways of doing the same thing....whatever method suits you...
thats an interesting bass sound in that track....dont know how the patch is made....like the sound though...
