How do you make a dirty Dubstep pad?


I am experimenting with sound design and I have made several dirty sounds that are in dubstep. However, I am stumpped when it comes to making an industrial sounding pad for a dubstep bass drop. If you don't know what I'm talking about take a listen at 1:59-2:20 (Its that big industrial sound that is the primary one used):

(Oh and I've been making the sounds in Z3TA, I don't know if I should get massive or not).
Thanks in advance!

    IMO FM8 is probably a better choice for those kinds of sounds than Massive. I do think z3ta is capable but I'm not even close to skilled enough in synth programming to help. If Encanti is around(he programmed the Mutant Rebellion, etc sound banks for z3ta) he may be able to help you. He seems to be able to get similar sounds from z3ta. You may want to ask this question in the cakewalk synth section too.

    Shouldn't be too hard to get that kind of sound in something like FM8, but it's the sidechainded compression which gives it's dubstep character.
