skippy81 Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 I'm trying to get create some leads with a bit of power behind them. The lead synth used on this short track sample here http://82.13.114.225/Atomicpulseclip.mp3 is similar to what I want, but its so heavily gated and filtered I can't for the life of me work out what its based on, ie wave forms and the type of synth. I've only got VSTs at the moment - but ive tried various combinations of slightly detuned saws and even thrown in a pulse osc. I can't even get close, the best I can get is that cheesey detuned lead used in pop-trance. Any pointers to the sort of things I should be trying would be awesome. I've been trying with ReFX vanguard, Synth1 and even albino, but been having no real luck. BTW. I know these sort of questions get asked by peeps all the time looking for a very specific sound, but I'm really just looking for some general advice for programming some full on lead sounds. Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiMT Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 I think it's a standart detuned saw lead: 2 (or 3 if you like) detuned saw osc's, some unison with spread and detune, some resonance, low pass filter...mmm...12 or 24 db\oct. The main elements are detune and unison. I use virus for all my sounds but I think I would use V-Station - it's good for detuned pads and leads.
