Name of high-pitch sine wave melodies?

[Goa Travellers]

Hello,

 

Trance tracks usually have a high-pitch sine wave melody such as here or here. Any name for these kinds of melodies? (it's not a lead, it's not a bass or a string...).

Thanks,

 

[Goa Travellers]

Here's another example. Beautiful...

Yes, it has something mystic...

The most common way to achieve it is through self oscillation of the filter, right?

i have experimented with this some time ago and found it best to just take high pitched saws/squares and filter them down to nearly a sine wave. you can also use a sine oscillator, but otherwise you can add a bit of attack with the envelope or add a bit of character by opening the filter up a little bit.

There's quite a few of them on Astral Projection's Another World album.

Triangles are better imo, but still, I would rather take a sine from a digital synth with an actual sine osc than an analog triangle, for a more "true" sine feel. Imho, of course.

Yeah, starting 0:35, it's the beautiful sine wave

your title has the answer to the question you are posting in your thread

 

its a high octave square, saw or sine wave (based on what sound you are after)

Inspired by MWNN i tried to make something in his style with sine wave melody, here is result:

I think i also made bass smiliar to his

[Goa Travellers]

Oh, man, this is pretty good, and sound quite MWNN!! Only suggestion is emphasizing the kick drum, and adding pre-delay to the high hat. Nice bass and nice sinewave as well!! I wonder what Martin Freeman would think if he found out we've come close to his style, ah ah!!

[aliendna99]

Pretty sweet, imba.

I shall also do something like this.

Thanks ppl! Well i played with effects... nothing serious
