sound design: brutal techno-leads

Hello,

I am looking for any advice on how to create lead sounds like this:




probably saw/pulse-waves, multiple detuned oszillators a lot of reverb&delay....maybe someone can give me something more specific?

Cheers,
M.

These are saw waves. By using a synth (hardware or software) that has some filter overdrive as well as distortion you have your start. Tune the filter envelope to instant attack, short decay, (possibly) 0 sustain, and a release about twice as long as the decay.

Place a compressor....an 1176 all-buttons-in would be perfect....slow attack, fast release. That should give you the “pop” you hear on the sounds attack.

Reverb/Delay to taste.

What version are you on, I’ll make you a patch and you can dissect it.
