Im trying to recreate this specific synth sound: https://clyp.it/b4qygrjq?token=18247d02 ... b0d6d81305 (https://clyp.it/b4qygrjq?token=18247d023efb4205ac4b76b0d6d81305)

But I am having trouble getting there. I first thought it is just a bunch of saw waves slightly detuned to create this 'fat' and dense sound and some added distortion. However, I don't seem to get there, my saw waves seem to have much less bite. Any ideas or tipps?

OK so...

It's hard to get it right but it's kinda like that old skool hover sound. So it's multiple saws stacked on multiple octaves.

I Did it in Sytrus but any synth with 3 Oscillators and with unison detune will do.

Note F#.
1st Oscillator Saw -2 Oct, Volume 75%.
2nd Oscillator Saw 0 Oct. Volume 100%.
3rd Oscillator Saw +1 Oct Volume 70%.

Now play 2 octaves at the same time (fundamental + 1 Octave up.

I used a wide band-pass filter with an LFO to create some of that movemet in the sound (just a little)

EQ like so-ish to create vowel like accentuation.

Here's my version

You wanna mess around with it a lot more with other bit-crushers and all sorts of effects but this will get you in the neighborhood. I didn't add any square waves but maybe swap some saws for squares???

Good Luck
