Hi! Ive been trying for a couple of hours to get a similar sound to Kygo's "signature" lead sound. Cant figure out if he is using a sample or if this can be made in sylenth or massive. You can here it in almost all of his songs but here is an example

Thanks for the help or tips.

Try using a a volume envelope and a filter envelope on square wave. This sound is so simple to make.
I love how so many ppl use massive when they don't understand how to use the simplest subtractive synth features. Not implying anything about you, but just in general.
EDIT: I can give you a TyrellN6 patch for this sound.
It can be made it any synth! Like pick any soft synth.if this can be made in sylenth or massive.

Haha sure! He is gonna blow up soon!altego91 wrote:hahahhahahah kyrre!!!!!, i can ask him for ya if you want... happy to see a thread about him on here though
Yeah i figured, but it's the ones ive worked with most and know best so i named those.Ap0C552 wrote:It can be made it any synth! Like pick any soft synth.
I think i have come pretty close with just a square wave, TriSaw and filter envelope, but it's the punch and richness that i cant get right. Volume envelope is a good idea for the punch.
That would be greatAp0C552 wrote:EDIT: I can give you a TyrellN6 patch for this sound.

I like to stay away from ambiguous terms such as "richness". What does richness mean? My interpretation of what richness means could be different from yours.I think i have come pretty close with just a square wave, TriSaw and filter envelope, but it's the punch and richness that i cant get right. Volume envelope is a good idea for the punch.
Try to stick with terms that actually describe distinct characteristics of the sound.
Anyways, there is definitely post processing that makes it sound more appealing. There is a nice reverb and slight chorus on the synth, and it is in a nice mix. So it is hard to perceive the sound separate from these things.

The sound is amazing and Kygo's prod is outstanding

Hey guys- I managed to make the kygo sound on massive: lower the intensity to 7 o'clock ; set the feedback at around 1-2 o'clock: just before it sounds bad; set a small reverb and a reverb and switch on the EQ; put the boost to maximum and set the frequency to around below 9 o'clock

Sometimes I like to think of myself as above these hand-holding types of patch tutorials. Then I see that Massive video and, as a recent Massive owner, realize I have no idea what the double notch filter sounds like. That was cool.
