Hi there,

Does anyone know how to make the lead in Save The World (starts at 0:38 )?

I'm using Nexus 2 and Sylenth1.

Thanks in advance!

super easy dude, just throw 4 saw waves together, a little vibrato, make sure it is in unison and compress it to glue the saws together. That should get you farely close. Also, maybe a little detuning of the saw waves and multiband compression (of the high end) can get u a cleaner sound. Cheers!

Ok it's not supereasy for me. Could you explain it a little bit more? Or maybe even make a preset....?

I use Sylenth1 and Nexus mostly in my productions and they should be able to recreate that sound I guess.

bump?

PWM or 2 detuned saw waves through lowpass and vibrato style LFO.

What's PWM and how do I do vibrato style lfo?

pwm pulse width modulation:

varying the pulse width of a square wave. low pulse width means most of a cycle is at zero, high pulse width means most of it is at 1.

here's a pic that explains it quite well:

a thin pulse gives a thin sound and varying the pulse width tends to make a buzzy type of sound.

vibrato style lfo i suppose is just assigning an lfo to pitch so you get a vibrato!

Sylenth doesn't have PWM.

Use 2 saws and detune them by 4 cents from a other. It isn't so tight. Actually detune them 3 cents from another. There was some reason why you shouldn't detune by even number. I forgot what it is.

Using 2 saws and detuning them (swappin polarity of one) is the same as PWM wave with I think slow sine LFO and full sweep... I forgot that too.

And yeah assign pitch to LFO, or just use a pitch bender if you want to be more creative.

If you use Discovery Pro.

Try this program http://www.discodsp.com/presets/discove ... ld.fxp.zip

It will sound like this

sylenth is weird, for detuning 2waves, "detune knob" not working,guess "fine tuning" in "pitch section" working as well, if I'm not mistaken

I use detune. normally works pretty good for me

How do I make this synth sound? Some kind of saw..
