the main synth in this song..

it sounds like an update synth of an old synth.. it doesn't sound too complex to make but im not sure where to start.

Try this:

3 OSC's all set to SAWS. Detune the 2nd & 3rd ones by a little bit and set the 2nd OSC to +7 and the 3rd to +28. This will give a major chord. Set your synth to MONOPHONIC, and add some portamento for the glide.

You want a fairly straight ahead AMP ENV.
A = 0
D = 100
S = 100
R = 20

That should give you the main saw sound. After that, use another synth to play the same line and octave higher. You could use the same sound or go for a brighter string type sound. You'll also need another synth playing a bass part underneath to give it the bottom end. The reason I mention these other synths is that the single saw sound on it's on may not sound complete compared to Fedde's track, so it may lead you to believe the sound is not right

You should end with something like this:

no worries

I used NI's Massive for this, as it's my goto synth for most sounds.

Any 3OSC synth can do this sound.
